Frankly, think the McFad-
dens will make their permanent
home in Europe. Jack" has
lived abroad for the greater part
Of the last ten years, and his
bride has also exhibited a fond
ness for life on the continent.
Should they decide to remain in the
u. s. A., however, they will have
an excellent position In metro
politan society. due to Mrs. Nc
Fadden's being a cousin Of some
degree to more than one-half of
the Social Register.
WHIIE on the subject of
Southampton nuptial events
1t might not be amiss to mention
that Lisa Stillman, daughter OF
the Joseph F. Stillmans-no con-
nection of the James Sullmans
whose matrimonial troubles have
been aired in the public prints
will become the bride Of Henry
M. Polhemus in St. Andrews
Church on the afternoon of July
20.
Lisa has been out In society
for more years than II would be
gallant to recall and she has
been a leader in the Southampton
younger set ever since those by
gone days when Mrs. Vernon II.
Browns (then Vouletti Proctor,
fancy dances were the chief
events Of each and every enter
tainment arranged at Southamp-
ton for this or that charity. &.
On various occasions Lisa's be-
trothal to this or that eligible"
was rumored, but not until they
awakened to the fact that young
Polhemus was showering atten-
tions on the Joseph stillman's tall,
willowy daughter did the argus
eyed matchmakers start In the
right direction.
Elaborate plans are being made
for the ceremony which will trans
form Lisa into Mrs. Polhemus. and
she will have her sister, "Millie"
Stillman, as her maid Of honor.
Vouletti Proctor Brown will, OF
course. head the bridesmaids, who
will include Ruth Stillman, anoth-
er sister. Mrs. Eugene Sawyer. the
one-time Edith Landon, and Mrs.
Lester Armour.
James Snydam Polhemus VIII
act as his brothers best man.
and the guests will be seated, ac-
cording to precedence-preced

In addition several important
nuptlal events are planned to take
place before the close of the South
ampton season and, truth to tell.
the Southampton wedding fans
and their name. is legion-are in
the seventh heaven.
VERY few, I am sure, realise
that Mrs. william X. Wander.
bilt seconds young hopeful, Will
lam K. Vanderbilt, Sd, is fast
approaching that point where he
will be included among those
present at the sub-debutants
parties. The last time saw
"Birdie's' only son was several
years ago at the Virginia Hot
Springs. At that time he was a
very young boy and was close
ly guarded by a maid and tutor.
Imagine my surprise, then. when
1 happened into the same young
man last Monday at Fred Stones
circus at Mineloa. L. l., acting as
his matters cavalier!
The young heir to the greater
part Of the millions amused by
his late grandfather is now much
taller than his distinguished
mater and, strange to relate, does
not resemble the Vanderbilts. He
is more of a Fair. Mis- mater.
It will be recalled, was Virginia
Fair, a daughter Of Jim" Fair,
the 49er.
There are now four young Van
derbilts who will be the despair,
in the future, Of ambitious matters
with marriageable daughters on
their hands-william X. Wander
bilt, Sd, George w. Vanderbilt,
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt and
william H. Vanderbilt. The latter
is already a target for the match
makers, but his young cousins
George and Alfred, sons Of Mrs.
Raymond T. Baker-will not take
their place in the social world
and the marriage market for some
fifteen years to come.
