THE fact that Mrs Craig Biddle's
l. sister is divorced from the brother
Of the duchess of Roxburghe seems to
have made no difference in the friend.
shih between the duchess and Mrs.
Riddle. for among the first to give
dinner in honor of the duke and duchess
are the Craig Biddlcs, who will enter
tain for them tonight Mt their villa in
Newport. They asked the most cxclu-
sive of Newport's summer residents to
meet the titled visitors.
Mrs. Craig Biddle was Laura Whelen.
YOU know. sister of Elsie Whelen. who
married Robert Goelet, brother of the
duchess of Roxburghe, who was May
rclet. They are the children of the
late Ogden Goclet and Mrs. Gocct,
who was Miss Mary Wilson.
After some years of marriage, in
which time two sons we're born, Ogden
and Peter. the Robert Goclcts were di-
vorced and shortly after that Elsie
Whclen Goclct married Henry Clews,
Jr., son of the New York banker of that
name and has been living in Paris most
of the time since then.
Mrs. Biddle and Mrs. Clews are the
daughters of the late Mr.. Henry Whe-
len. of this city. Their mother married
Mr.. Hartman Kuhn some years after
their fathers death. Mr.. William
Baker .Whelen who married Miss Nir-
ginia Arter, of Pittsburgh, is brother
Both Mrs. Biddle and Mrs. Clews were
considered among the most beautiful
women of Philadelphia. Mrs. Clews is
taller than her sister, in fact she is a
bit too tall, but they have about the
same coloring, brown hair and very fair
compilations, and are lovely to look
upon.
A S TIME goes on we are getting more
"A and more into social doings for the
coming season. The weddings will lead
off and quite a number are scheduled for
September. Arthur Conger is to be
married on September 13 to Elizabeth
Benedict up in Bramford, Conn, which
is the summer home of Miss Benedict.
And down here Agnes Spencer and Jack
Montgomery are to be married the same
day in st. Marks Church. That is
bound to be a very pretty wedding, for
Agnes will make lovely bride. She is
so dainty and has such fair hair, large
blue eyes and the tiniest mouth you
almost ever saw.
ISN'T it interesting to hear that DR..
L Albert Francine and his wife are
among those invited by the lieutenant
governor of Quebec to meet Edward
Albert or Dave, as / hear they call him
at home at Spencer Wood, Point Pic,
2. O., Canada, on Saturday, in other
words tomorrow? Mrs. Francine was
Emile Ehret, you remember, and most
attractive woman. It's always gratlty-
ing to have representative Philadel- =
phians represent Philadelphia, is it not?
Albert Francine is brother of Hor-
ace, who married Edith Meade. They
are all very popular members OF the
married set. Mrs. Albert Francine is
as dark as Mrs. Horace Francine is fair.
WELL, Ellen Douglas Newbold put
wv one over on some of us when she
announced that her marriage to Charlie
Lee would take place on Saturday at
st. James's Church. Some of her friends
knew about her engagement, but most
of us did not. 1t was to be announced
soon anu Cnen IHdTlle lJtc Nus Nuiicu
to Europe on business suddenly and SO
it was decided that they be married at
once and then she could go with him.
Ellen Newbold is the daughter of the
late John DaCosta Newbold and Mrs
Newbold, and n sister of Angela New
bold and of Dick Newbold, who married
Mamie Heckscher, and Of John DaCosta
Newbold, Jr. Charlie Lee is the son oi
DIR. and Mrs. Edmund Jennings Lee and
brother of Constance and Mildred Lee
He is gradson of the late Mr.. Charles
Smith and a nephew of Mr.. Horace Eu'
gene Smith, of this city. The wedding
will take place in st. James's Church
Twenty second and Walnut streets to-
morrow at five o'clock.
1t appears that Charlie Lee has beer
appointed to represent the Baldwin Lo.
comotive Works in Bucharest, Ru
mania, where he and another man will
open an agency for the company. Won't
1t be interesting to go over there?
should think Ellen would be awfully ex
cited over the wonderful things she will
see in those far-off countries. 1t will
really be more interesting than ir
France or any of the recent warrinl
countries.
M Dick Newbold is going to give Eller
in marriage, and Ralph Pearson is t.
be best man for Charlie Lee.
