a house in the Avenue d'Iena to make
preparations to give to their niece, a
| granddaughter of the late Chief JUS
| tice Fuller, who was adopted as their
daughter in her infancy. a brilliant
wedding. Miss Beecher's romance with
the Comte de Luppe had its beginning
| two years ago when she was here
with her aunt, and uncle. The definite
contract for the marriage was made
soon after the Wallaces returned to
Paris early in the spring and the en-
gagement was announced Immediately

| Chateau Saint-Adit, situated in the
Hautes Pyrenees, which he inherited
from his family, and he owns tea
plantations in India.
The bride is an American girl VINO is
we'll suited to become French, as she
| is a great admirer of the French aris-
| tocracy. and since her residence here
has grown to feel more at home with
| them than with her own countrymen.
| Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace entertained ex-
| tensively and almost exclusively In
French circles during their residence
here in the American Embassy. At their
| big dinner parties and receptions II

| guests. and in the reports of their en-
| tertainments in the newspapers 1t was
