CHAPTER x.
~ ETAILS of the weddings of
Marjorie to Anthony J..
Drexel, jr., and of Vivien
to Lord Decies have been printed
time and again. The public has
been informed fully as to the
trousseaux Of the girls, the treas
ures in presents presented to
them. the bridal parties and the
honeymoons. What wish to tell
you about now is how these gala
events affected one young miss
who had a part in them and who
was more concerned about how
she would act as flower girl for
Marjorie and later maid of honor
for vivien.
shall never forget how ex-
cited was the day mamma told
me I was to be in Marjorie's
bridal party. Excitement reached
q high pitch that day. but natur-
ally 1t had been simmerfng pretty
lively ever since it became known
that Marjorie was to be married.
First Public Appearance.
Mamma herself took my APP
pointment with much seriousness,
whether feigned or genuine, it is
Impossible to say. 1t may have
been. Of course. that the formal
fly with which she announced the
honor to me was somewhat ac-
centuated for the purpose of inn
pressing me with the great priv
ilege accorded me. This was to
be my first appearance in public
and mamma wanted to be certain
that would acquit myself with
glory.
At the same time She told me
that the other flower girl was to
be Ellen Mackay. daughter of
Clarence Mackay. On receiving
the news I rushed in great glee
an over the house. informing not
only the other members of the
family, who already knew it, but
the servants as well. My excur-
sion took me even into the

forever. NY childish fears, luck
iIy. were not borne out by sub
sequent events, because Marjorie
frequently visited US after her
marriage and we often visited
her.

bered eight hundred.
I asked each guest, as he or
she shook hands with me, How
did I Ioolx?''
That is, I asked the question
until Mama overheard me. There
after confined my remarks to-:
How do you dor to the &C
compartment of a courtesy.
