mony.
An inspection of the Consulate Cen
erals marriage record showed that the
Duke gave his age as 40 years, but that
Miss Deacon. taking advantage of the
prerogative accorded women by the
British law. did not state her age. This.
however, the Consul-General said would
not invalidate her claim to the title of
Duchess of Marlborough. British prece-
dent having been established that even
where a bride under oath misstated her
age by ten years, her marriage could
not be annulled unless there were other
and more serious reasons. The bride
described herself as Marie Gladys Dea-
con. daughter OF Edward Parker Deacon
of Boston, spinster and gentlewoman.
At the religious ceremony tomorrow
the bride will wear one of the most re-
markable gowns ever seen In France
and the richest ever designed by the Cal
lot firm of dressmakers. II is of ma
teria woven by the Dukes special or
ders in Murano. Italy, and is a cloth OF
