NEW YORK, Oct. "a. - A bach
elor's hall.
What an opportunity for Dan Gu
pid, aided and abetted, of course, by
aspiring mamas anxious TO settle
matrimonially, their daughters bearing
a vintage label. =,
The aforementioned matters should
call upon Allah 10 send down bless.
inSs upon the aristocratic craniums of
the committee of well-dowered young
men planning the Bachelors Ball.
In the past metropolitan society
has worried along without a mar
riage market. Up until now, matr.-
monially speaking. it has been case
of catch ms catch can"-and not 4
few "eligibles" have steadfastly 'e-
fused TO be caught. Result: Sadness
and copious tears in the ranks of am
bilious mothers of flappers of vary
ing ages and varied accomplishments.
RING is SQUARED.
The exclusive Piping Rock social
sector out on Long Island, according
to q bit of gossip, overheard last
evening at the Union Club. has been
chosen as the matrimonial battlefield.
and the great offensive to secure hus-
bands and what certain plebeian sour
are wont TO classify as life meal
tickets will take place shortly be
fore Thanksgiving-how appropriate.
at country club not thousand
miles from the Meadowbrook polo
fields.
Great secrecy seems TO surround the
plans being made for the dance. which
will be something of return cour-
tesy' party. but l can report on the
best of authority that il will be given
under the direction of, and paid for
by. about thirty-five of the richest and
best known bachelors in New Works
rubberized Mayfair.
ANCIENT DEBS ASKED.
Some 300 bids" will be sent out
to the debutantes of last winter, the
winter before that, the winter before
that, etc. and who can tell. perhaps
even julia Berwind, Evelyn Byrd
Burden. Anna Sands. Edith Wetmore.
Martha Goldman and Angelica Gerry
will be invited.
That there will be few. if any
regrets" sent 10 the committee goes
without saying, for what unattached
young woman would miss such gold
en- opportunity:

In order TO put at rest the reports
pro and con, concerning John r.
Fell's reported and denied marriage.
it might be well TO record that the
former husband of the second Mrs.
Ogden Livingston Mills is married
and his bride is none other than
Mildred NJ. Santrey.
The wedding Of Mrs. Alexander
Van Rensselaer's only son TO the
titian-haired young lady, who has
been his almost constant companion
for several years past. in no way
resembled that magnificent ceremony
that marked the union Of young Fell
and Dorothy Randolph, daughter Of
Phil Randolph.
WE'D BY CITY CLERK.
The Fell-Randolph nuptials in
Philadelphia were attended by more
than a thousand guests from the
Quaker City, New York, Baltimore,
etc, and a great reception followed.
John and Miss Santrey were made
as one, sans fanfare, by Clerk Nc
Cornick in the office of the city CLERK
a wek ago and even their closest
friends have not been able 10 discov-
er where they arc honeymooning.
The new Mrs. Fell is not known
in society. and it is doubtful IL she
circle in which her new mother-in-
law and sisters-in-law move.
John, who was divorced by the
present Mrs. Mills several years ago.
is a son Of the late John Fell, of
Philadelphia. and a nephew of An.
thony J. (~Dandy Tony") Drexel. Of
London. and John X. Drexel Of this
city. His sisters are Mrs. Robert
Kelso Cassatt, Mrs. GouYerneur Cad
walader and Mrs. A. J. Antelo Dew
ereux. Viscountess Maidstone of
London, is a cousin.
Little is known in society Of Nil
dred Santrey Fell's antecedents.
MaRRIES OFF FOUR.
The late Henry A. c. Taylor is
society feels certain. chanting a seriec
of "Hallelujahs" up in the celestial
regions.
And. as for his daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Moses Taylor, she can now rest
on her laurels and calmly watch the
social procession pass by.
Mrs. Taylor can point proudly 10
the alliances her qusrtette Of children
have made. Alliances that would
have the approval Of even the auto
cratic ~Hac- Taylor, who possessed
very decided views on who was and
who was not in his beloved society.
1t docs seem the very irony of fate.
however, that the last Of the unmar-
ried Taylor grandchildren Of the for
mer car Of Newport society should
plan an alliance with the brother Of
the very lady the Mother Grundys
have always held mainly responsible
for the dethroning Of the late -Hac"
Taylor, far as the Newport Casino
was concerned.
MATCH DELIGHTS HELEN.

whose engagement TO young Bob
Huntington, brother Of Mrs. William
Vincent Astor, was announced during
the past week.
