MARRIAGE OF MISSLOUISE BONAPARTE She Becomes the Countess de Moltke-Huitfeldt. ————_—-=--— OTHER FESTIVE EVENTS ‘The marriage of Miss Louise Eugenie Boraparte, daughter of the late Col. Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, and Count de Moltke-Huitfeldt of Denmark was solem- nized today at 11:30 o'clock, at St. Paul's Roman Catholic Church, corner of 15th and V streets, his eminence, Cardinal Gib- bons, officiating. The marriage ceremony was followed by the celébration of a nup- tial mess by Rev. Father Foley, and at 1 o’clcck Mrs. Bonaparte, mother of the bride, entertained the ‘idal party, rela- tives and a couple of ini.nate friends at breakfast. Count and Countess de Molike- Huitfeldt left town this afternoon fer a honeymoon jaunt, and will be back in this city by January 6. They will sail for Eu- rope January 16, and will spend this win- ter in Paris, where the mother and im- mediate family of Count de Moltke-Huit- feldt reside at present. The bride of today, Miss Louise Eugenie Bort parte, is the great granddaughier of Madame Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte, daughter of William Patterson of Balii- more, who, on Christmas eve, 1808, became the wife of Jerome Bonaparte, the young- est of the brothers of Napoleon, first con- sul of France. Nothing could have been more brilliant and hopeful than such an alliance, yet only a short period elapsed before she found herself a discarded wife. She lived, however, to see her husband's family. twice ruined and twice overthrown. William Patterson was the richest man of his time in his state, but his violent oppo- sition to his daughter's marriage to Bona- Parte was further manifested in his will. He left her out a small part of his im- mense fortune. From her husband she received 1,000 guineas after the birth of their son, which event occurred at Camberwell, near Lon- don, in 1805. The emperor never having Tecoghized the marriage, he forced Jerome, who. was the weakest in purpose and will of all the family, to a union with the Prin- cess Frederica Catherine of Wurtemburg. Madame Bonaparte spent the years of her son's boyhood in Baltimore, but took him to Europe to finish his education. He afterward went to Harvard, and in 1820 married Miss Susen May Williams of Bal- timore. Their eldest son, the late Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, was the father of the bride of today, and his brother, Mr. Charles Joseph Bonaparte of Baltimore, consigned her today to the bridegroom's keening. Col. Bonaparte served with distinction in the French army, and was decorated for many deeds of valor. At the close of the commune, he came back to this country to live.. In 1871 he married Caroline Le Roy Appleton, then Mrs. Newbold Edgar, granddaughter of Daniel Webster. Although inheriting but a small fortune from her father, Elizabeth Patterson Bona- Parte became rich by successful invest- ments and by life long habits of economy. Until the period of Napoleon's abdication, she received from him $12,000 a year and @ present of $20,000 in addition. It is said that Jerome was stung by her acceptance of money from his brother and was not much comforted at the retort, which came back to him, that “she preferred shelter under the’ wing of the eagle than shelter under the wing of the goose.” The admiration which she excited by her beauty and manners was great, but the business ability she displayed caused one critic of her time to exclaim that he knew “no woman more capable of creating legiti- mately with so small a capital the large fertune she amassed.” Until she was no Icnger able to go about she exercised per- scnal supervision of her property and in- vestments, and, despising the luxuries of life, lived in a plain boarding house, but taking the greatest care of her health, heping to live a hundred years. As late in life as her ninetieth year she was active in business affairs, but after that spent the lest five years almost entirely within her own apartments. At her death her brow was unwrinkled, and her profile gave evi- dence of her handsome youth. Her enor- mous fortune she divided equally between her grandsons. St. Paul's Church, while not the parish church of the Bonaparte family, was sc- lected by the bride for the happy event of today, because cf the beauty of its in- terior finish and its adaptability for floral decoration. Mrs. Bonaparte has, moreover, a pew in the church. The sanctuary was magnificently decorated, and was really a garden, from which loomed up the graceful outlines of the marble altar, which glit- tered with many lighted tapers. Palms and foliage plants banked the corners and hun- dreds of poinsetta blooms glowed on the altar. .The sanctuary. railing was entirely hidden by a hedge of annunciation lilies arising from their own foliage and aspara- gus vines. The effect was very elegant and beautiful. Nearly three hundred invited guests were seated by the ushers, Messrs. Wallach, Berry, Andrews and McCawley. Af- ter the arrival of the bridal party the doors of the church were opened to the general Public, and the event was complimented by the usually large street audience which or- dinarily accompanies a daylight wedding. ‘The ushers led the bridal procession to the sanctuary. The bride was escorted by her urecle, Mr. Charles Joseph Bonaparte of Baltimore. The groom and his best man— M. Brun, the Danish mintster—met the bride at the railing and advanced with her to the second altar step, facing Cardinal Gibbons, who, prefacing the ceremony by a short address, united Louise Eugene Bonaparte and Adam de Moltke-Huitfeldt In holy mar- tiege. The couple had seats and priedieux cn either side of the sanctuary gate and remained within the sanctuary during the celebration of the nuptial mass, at which Rev. Father Foley officiated. There were a number of other clergymen in the sanctu- ary. The music was very fine. The bride, who is a tall, slender brunette, with regu- lar features and large beautiful eyes, was elegantly gowned in white satin, adorned with real lace. Her bouquet was very large and was formed of valley lilies, white lacs, white orchids and fern sprays. It was tied with broad white satin loops and ends, on which rested sprays of orchids and val- ley lilies. The coachmen and footmen on the carriages of the bridal party were all decked out with wedding nosegays, as were the horses’ heads. The wedding breakfast at the Bona- parte residence was strictly a family party, with the addition of two intimate girl friends of the bride, Miss Elsie Andéraon and Miss Alice Belknap. The company sat down to a horseshoe table for a course breakfam. the table was decked by a border of white orchids, carnations and poinsetta, and was resplendent with fam- ily plate and crystal. : The bride's presents made a magnificent collection, especially of jewels. The groom presented the Moltke-Huitfeldt diamonds, ring. The was decked with flowers.
