R. Shep- herd, Jr., and Miss Elliott. PERSONAL MOVEMENTS . Occasionally nowadays one meets a re- turned traveler, who has enjoyed a month or two of pleasant outing, and who is quite willing to exchange a budget of gossip with the home-staying frien@: A tremen- dous amount of real good news is thereby disseminated, and ways and means and motives are revealed which throw a new light on things in general. From all ac- counts, the summer has not been phenom- enally gay at any point, although in some notable instances those who were making the biggest splurges were those who were least suspected of any such intention by reason of previous records. The sensible idea that ball room finery and all that goes with it are not essential belongings to carry away with one for the summer gains wider popularity every year. That the warm sea- son ought to be given up to an entire change in one’s ordinary habits, or as near as possibie to long rests after healthy exer- cise, is a most natural conciusion to offset the dangers of the age of nervous energy in which we live. Excepting at Newport, Bar Harbor and l_enox,where the foreigners and other eligible specimens of mankind congregate, as do the richest families in the country with marriageable dauzhters, the awful dearth of the summer beau has been as seriously felt as the hard times. In some respects the girls who stayed home have had lots better time of it, this regard. The bicycle girl ail summ in tits neighborhood has not suffered greai- ly for want of escorts and a variety of diversion alorg with them, and this month, since the cool weather came as an addition- al blessing, the happy condition® has been more marked. Talking of the hot weather, there were very few places where the extreme heat was not felt as badly as at home. One of the experiences lately recounted by a millionaire resident of this city shows it. He and his family had rooms in the lead ing hotel at one of the fashionable cities by the sea. One night, when even breath- ing comfortably seemed impossible in their apartments, they left the hotel and spent the night on the veranda of a friend's cot- tage. Only a few weddings have added eclat to the season at Newport or elsewhere, but the guests at Richfield Springs par- ticipated in the unfolding of one little ro- mance for which they were not prepared. In the height of the season a pretty widow arrived at one of its leading hot Her bereavement was of recent date, and her bombazine and crepe effects from milliner and modiste were the very latest, in point of style. The late lamenied had’ breat his last on their wedding tour, which had been a prolonged one, and consisted of # tour around the world. Both parties had to get rid of original partners before vow- ing love and eternal constancy in the holy estate of matrimony, but these little epi- sodes only added a piquani interest to their second venture. he fair ‘ow escorted the remains of No. 2 to his native land, and then seeking the quiet and seclusion from a crit world, which her saddened heart seemed demand, chose a fashionable hotel for rest of her summer campaign. After t or three dull evenings, she was constrai to peep “nto the ball room, where a was in progress, and hosts of young old, with never a care on their minds, w enjoying themselv The next 4 just to distract her mind from all her sor- row, she ed a little with a good ing man, who had arrived that day, iriviag his four-in-hand. The next day the widow had the box seat on the big brake, and two weeks from date the couple were marrie in presence of a few friends, at an uptow hotel in New York. Of course there wi be another interesting chapter in the lh of two people who can rattie along li that, and those who watched the lates velopments are wondering and specula’ just what particular turn it will take. It used to be the thing, once upon a time, for returned summer travelers to be proud of their increased avoirdupois. Now the very contrary is the fact. The active out- decr life, rowing, waiking and wheeling, which Is the taste in this athletic age. only encourages muscle development and does not permit fat to form. Quite a num- ber of fashionable dames, matrons and maids have been able to turn the reales very satisfactorily to themselves back to a more girlish weight. One in particular who was fast reaching a clumsy figure. has come home minus thirty pounds of the unwelcome plumpness. Outdoor exercise especially the wheel, brought about this desirable state of affairs. A lady who has scen Mrs. Cleveland late- ly says that the handsome mistress of the White House rejeices over the loss 0: seventeen pounds since returning to Buz- zard’s Bay the past summer. Her life there is simple and there is every opportuni- ty for outdoor exercise, of which she is very fond, but which with increased weight of late years has made it hard for her to take. The past summer, though, she ccm- menced to take swimming lessons, and while she has attained considerable pro- ficiency it is by no means cnough yet to satisfy her wishes in that line. Now that her weight is on the down move she is making every effort to keep it decreasing. Mrs. Cleveland is not able to take much pleasure in fishing with the President, for sea sickness Gvercomes her very quickly, but she is determined to learn to swim anyway, so at least to be able to take care of herself in any emergency. An event worthy of note took piace at Sewanee, Tenn., on the ‘th instant, the marriage of Mr. Alexander Roby Shep- herd, jr., of Mexico to Miss Phoebe Elliott of Sewanee. Both Mr. Shepherd and M:ss Elliott are representatives of two families prominent in the history of this country. The fair bride is the granddaughter of the late Right Reverend Stephen Elliott, first bishop of Georgia, one of the grand- est bishops of the Episcopal Church, and the daughter of the late Right Reverend Rotert W. B. Elliott, bishop of western Texas, whcse career was cut short by death while he was yet a young man, but not before universal admiration for the distinguished ability with which he ad- ministered the affairs of his diocese. Mr. epherd is a son of ex-Governor Alex- ander R. Shepherd, who, as the founder of new Weshington, will always hoid a high place in the history of our couniry. St. Augustine's Chapel, where the wed- ding ceremony was performed, had been beautifully decorated with laurel, which grows in profusicn at Sewanee, and foliage plants, ferns and smilax, and the altar and reredos had been covered with white roses and ferns. At the altar rail was a white satin cushion, exquisitely embroidered, upon which the bride and groom knelt. Precisely at 5 o'clock Mr. Shepherd, at- tended by his brother, Mr. Grant Shepherd, as best man, tcok his place at the chancel steps, and immediately the organ sounded forth as the bridal party entered the chapel and advanced up the aisle, the bride leaning upon the arm of her brother, Mr. Robert W. B. Elliott of New York. She was handsomely gowned in white satin, with point applique lace, and a tulle veil. Her jewels were pearls. The marriage service was begun by the Rev. William A. Guerry, M.A., B.D., chap- lain of the University of the South, and was continued by the Right Rev. Charles Todd Quintard, S.T.D., LL.D., bishop of Tennessee, who had been a life-long friend of Miss Elliott’s family, and the father-in- law of Mr. Shepherd's sister. The maid of honor was Miss Dorothy Quintard, the three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward A. Quintard, and the bridesmaids, who wore gowns of white chif- fon and carried ferns, were the Misses El- Mott, sisters of the bride, and the Misses Shepherd, sisters of the groom. The groomsmen were Meters. John Morion Mor- ris of Louisville, Charles Cotesworth Pinck- ney of Charleston, Robert F. McMillan of Washington, J. Conness Shepherd of Wash- ington, all of whom had been fellow-stu- dents with Mr. Shepherd at the University of the South, as well as the ushers, who were Mr. A. G. Blacklock of Tennessee, Mr. Arthur Young of Charleston, Mr. William Henderson, jr., of New Orleans and Mr. Joseph H. Elliott of New Orleans. After the ceremony the bridal party, headed by Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd, left :he chapel and drove immediately to the Elliott residence. issued, and those to the mesrest friends of the families, on account ef recent famity bereavment. The house was beautifully lecorated with ferns and laurel, and Nghted with candles. The wedding presents, which were many and costly, were displayed most attractive- ly. After congratulations the gues:s sat down to supper, which was inost daintily served. Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd left Sewanee last evening for an extended wedding trip through Canada and the great lakes, after which they will make their home in Mexico, where Mr. Shepherd is associated with his father in the management of a large tract of silver and gold mines. Chief Clerk of Army Headquarters Mr. J. B. Morton and his wife, whose marriage, it will be remembered, was a pleasant event of June last, have gone to house- keeping, and are very cozily located at 127 North Carolina avenue southeast,where after the 15th of this month they will be at home to their friends. Chief Clerk Mor- ton has a wide acquaintance in army cir- cles here, and his new home will be an at- tractive rendezvous for them. Miss May Collingswerth and Miss Blanch Kraft have returned from a six weeks’ trip to Portsmouth, Va. Atlantic City and other resorts. A very enjoyable cycling party was given by F. A. Kaiser to Cycle Cottage last night. There were about eighteen in the party. After their return refreshments were served.
