NEW YORK. March THE smart
social set is really in quite a bit Of
furry-and two IS eight-over the
helter-skelter wedding of Reggie Van
derbnt and Gloria Morgan.
As Mrs. Eisenbaum of Hester St.
was saying to erh old man. Make,
when he came home from the vest
works. zone wouldn't wish to be catty
for worlds, but really, Make" she
said to her husband wasn't ii Just
too amusing the way the racket was
hauled off after all their preparations?
Dear, dearl How COmical.''
For instead of being married at
the home Of Mrs. Glenn Stewart
Of the Stewards OF Park Ave.-they
suddenly changed their plans and went
70 the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. E. Won
Der Horst Koch. A nice enough
home. but. really. you'll never believe
it, The person is in trade. Yes, a
tradesman. Runs some sort Of dry
goods shop up in the Bronx, you
know. Oh. dear. Just fancy that.
Indeed no, as Mrs. Eisenb3um said
to her old man, one wouldn't be a
sabby about this matter. Bu- one
feels sure that Reggie. himself. would
overlook a short refined merr-ment
over what happened and how it hap
pened to happen
Strapping Big Chap
But first. of course you know Reg
Gle he's one OF the divorced Wander
bilts. naturally; has a daughter. Cath
leen. about 10; bulges slightly over his
collar; very horsey; strapping big
chap.
And his bride Of course. was Miss
Gloria Morgan. age Il, daughter OF
Harry Hays Morgan, United States
consul general at Brussels. She be
comes step-mother TO a girl older than
herself: has a sister who married some
sort of foreign count chap, becoming
the Countess de AIaupas.
Is that clear? Very good then.
The dowager Mrs. Vanderbilt,
mother Of Reggie. had decided TO come
to the wedding. all efforts having
failed to delay it further on the
ground that the young people per
haps didn't really know their own
minds.
Reggie's So TmpetuOus
Young lad that he is, Reggie might
have been rushing into marriage IN
the blind impetuosity Of youth Mrs.
Stewards home in the exclusive
Marguery had been beautifully decora-
ted. the caterers were ready TO do
their incest and the guests were an
ticipating a pleasant afternoon, per
haps a mild hinge, fhasmuch as cham
payne is always indicated at a truly
swagger wedding.
And then, at midnight Mrs. Stewart
was informed that all was off with
the party at her place. The guests
were reached by phone and what-not
and told to 80 to this Mr.. Won Der
Horst Koch's place.
The change was made 20 circum-
vent the reporters. Frightful pests,
reporters. One Of them managed to
wangle q way in somehow. and min
gled with the guests. the aggressive
boOr! He had the Grass effrontery
. to make a nasty remark about a pink
shirt that one Of the gentlemen was
wearing And when asked to leave
the house had the cOnsummate i'll
taste 10 offer a S. bill, saying: This
is for the champagne you gave me
by mistake"'
Wei. and then Reggie's daughter.
Cathleen. failed to arrive from Palm
Beach and there was a how-de-do for
you. because she was to have been
bridesmaid for her new young mama.
