THE WORLD OF SOCIETY Interesting Gossip of Noted Brides and Grooms. Distinguished Family Connection of Miss Caldwel Fiance—Weddings Here and Elsewhere—Notes. The fiance of Miss Mary Gwendolen Caid- well, Jean de Monstiers, Marquis de Merin- ville, is the present head of a very dis- Ainguished French family, which is a thor- ough type of the old nobility. A well- known French resident of Philadelphia says the estate of De Merinville is a large une, has been in the possession of the family since the thirteenth century, and from that time the family held a leading position both in their province, which is Limousin, and at the court. The marquis’ mother before her marriage was Mlle. de la Tour du Pin, a member of one of the distingaish- ed families of the aristocratic Faubourg St. Germain. The De la Tour du Pins ere allied by marriage with the De Chateau- briands and other celebrated houses of the vielle noblesse. The yearly income of Miss Caldwell is $80,000. The Caldwell heirs own much val- uable property in Louisville. Among it is an entire square in the heart of. the city. This is to be given to the Catholic Church if a cathedral befitting the value of the Property be erected upon it. A lack cf money has deferred acceptance of the be- quest and the property lies idle, a play- ground for boys. The St. Mary and Eliza- beth Hospital of Louisville was given by Miss Caldwell’s father as a memorial to her mother. The entire estate amounted to $6,000,000, and was apportioned between the two sisters. The marriage of Miss Edith Shepard, sec- ond daughter of Mrs. Eltott F. Shepard, and granddaughter of the late Wm. H. Vanderbilt, to Mr. Ernesto G. Fabbri, will be solemnized next Tuesday at noon in the Shepard Memorial Chapel, at Scarborough. The five bridesmaids will be attired exact- ly alike. The skirts are of rich white moire, cut a trifle Icnger than ordinary walking length, and very full, and made perfectly plain but for a thick foot ruch- ing of white mousseline de soie. ‘ithe high bodice to match is mainly of mousseline de soie but for the high shoulder puff of the sleeve and the lower section of the corsage where it joins the soft girdle. Above that the mousseline de soie is laid in fine tucks, crossed by two bands of silver embroidery, three and one-half inches wide. The sleeve, from wrist to shoulder puff, is of the same material laid in horizontal tucks, crossed with a band of silver embroidery just be- low the puff, and a delicate frilling of mousseline de soie and Mechlin lace falls over the hand and borders also the front plastron where it fastens near the side. A touch of color is given with a soft girdle and crush collar of blue glace velvet of the shade known as “Benvenuto.” Over the collar partly falls a high frill of Mech- lin lace. The picture hats to match these gowns are of black velvet, trimmed directly in front with a cluster of seven black ostrich plumes, which curl over the high crown toward the side and back. Nestling under the wide brim is a coquille of blue velvet matching that of the gown. The bride, who will enter the church with ber brother, Mr. Ellioti Fitch Shepard, will wear a gown trimmed with the magnificent point lace flounces and bertha worn by Mrs. Shepard on her wedding day. The bride will wear also the veil of point lace worn by her mother and by her sister, Schieffelin, on a like occasion. The bride’s going-away gown will be of broadcloth and velvet, in soft brown shades, and the hat to match is of brown velvet, trimmed at one side with a cluster of six large ostrich tips, brown and pale blue. Another some- what smaller hat, suitable for traveling, is faced with heavy ecru lace, and trimmed with brown wings and cock feathers. Mr. Fabbri is a son of the late Ernest Fab- bri, and on his father’s death was adopted by his uncle, the late Egisto Fabbri, wno was for years identified with the banking rouse of Drexel, Morgan & Company. He and his bride will live in New York. Miss Lillian Beatrice Hamblett and Mr. Orlando W. Goodwin, both of this city, were married last evening at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. O.A. Hamblett, 133 California street northeast. Only the immediate families were witnesses to the ceremony, which was performed by Rev. A. Reoch, pastor of the Fifth Congregational Church, in which the bride has long been the organist. The bride was becomingly gowned in white bengaline, trimmed with rare lace that has been in the family for generations. Her tulle veil was caught with bride’s buds, and the same flowers made up her bouquet. She entered the par- lors with her father, preceded by a flower girl, Miss Susie Hamblett, who was escorted by Master H. Godwin as page. The bride's sister, Miss Laura V.Hambiett, was maid of honor, and Mr. M. F. Norwood served as best man. Following the ceremony, a re- ception wes held, at which the bride was assisted by Miss Maud McAfee, Miss Lora Van Wagnen, Miss Minnie Cooley and Miss Fannie Wagoner. Late in the evening Mr. and Mrs. Goodwin started for Chicago, and, after a tour through Wisconsin and Ne- braska, will be at home Tuesdays in De- cember at 635 G street northeast. Information comes to this city of the ap- roaching marriage of Miss Helen Sherman, Saughter of Mr. Hoyt Sherman of Detroit, to Mr. Griffiths of Philadelphia. Miss Sher- man is well known in this city, having spent last season as the guest of her uncle, Senator Sherman, and one of the most bril- HHant receptions of the year was that given in her honor. It is said that the wedding ceremony will take place in the bride's home in Detroit. Miss Sue Mulllen of Philadelphia, sister of Mrs. Egan, wife of Professor Egan of the Catholic University, was married yesterday in that city to Mr. Joseph Du B. McCarrica of Norfolk, Va. Rev. Father Goedrick of Georgetown College officiated, assisted by Rev. Father Cutler. The ceremony was fol- lowed by a nuptial mass. Professor Neal of the Catholic University was best man, and Miss Marie Egan, a daughter of Profes- sor Egan, was bridesmaid. The couple left for their future home in Norfolk via Balti- mcre, Washington and Richmond. The Fleur de Lis Social and Literary Club held a meeting at the residence of Miss Edith Bittenbender, 514 7th street north- east, Monday evening. Miss Lula Foreman of Baltimore and Mr. G. Waldon of Vir- ginia entertained the company with read- ings and recitations. Games were enjoyed after which refreshments were served.

Durfey, F. Murrey, V. Potter and 8. Gaither. A pretty but quiet wedding took place at e parson of the Second Baptist Church Wednenlay evening, Rev. Hez Swem offi- ciating. The parties were Miss Lizzie Granger of Anacostia, D. C., and Mr. Ea. Rollins of Washington. The bride was gcwned in gray cloth and carried La France roses. After receiving the congratulations of those present the happy couple depart- ed, amid a shower of rice, for their new home, 1844 N street. Mr. and Mrs. Isaac N. Fox entertained a host of their friends on Wednesday night, in celebration of their wooden wed- ding, at their home, 1205 13th street. Mrs. Fox wore her wedding dress and was as- sisted by her sister, Miss Nettie Studds of Virginia, and Miss Edith Pullman of Kan- 7 ville, Tenn., to be absent for several weeks.

Housekeepers Particularly Taking Advantage of Low Prices. Business men are feeling much better re- garding the outlook for trade. Shopping has become animated in the past ten days, and while the dry goods and millinery es- tablishments secure most of this patronage, there is much activity in other lines, espe- cfally strong being the demand for furni- ture, carpetings and household goods. The indications seem to point to @ general re- habilitation of houses by housekeepers, who realize that prices were never lower than they are now and who feel that the present cheapness of necessary articles cannot con- tinue for any length of time. The jewelry trade reports greatly increased business in the past week. Many business houses are being improved in appearance and the paint pot and brush are everywhere in evidence in the commercial quarter. = Objections to am Avenue Barricade. Perscns who walk up and down Penn- sylvania avenue are beginning to say that it is high time the mass of debris in front of the demolished Beatty building and the one adjoining was removed and the wails made safe, so that the thoroughfare should be no longer barricaded at that pont, Pedestrians are now compelled to go out 2 the concrete and are in constant danger, if is claimed, of being struck by passing wag- ons, herdics and bicycles. — Mr. Hay to Lecture on “Rome.” The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has invited Mr. Edwin B. Hay, who is one of the most popular members of the fraternity, to deliver a lecture on “Rome.” Mr. Hay will accept the invitation, and the date and place of the lecture and other pre- lminaries will be immediately arranged. Mr. Hay is a close observer, and possesses ready and original descriptive powers, as well as a rare fund of humor, and his sub- Ject will be fresh to him, as he spent sev- eral houre in the eternal city the past sum- mer. —_>—___ Knights of St. John.
