NEW YORK, October 24.—One of the surprises of the early season was the announcement of the marriage of Miss Shefla Byrne, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Byrne of 1043 Fifth avenue. The ceremony took place re- cently at the fashionable Church of 8t. Ferdinand des Ternes in Parls. ‘The bridegroom is Francls Taylor, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Moses Taylor of this city, Newport and Annandale Farm, Mount Kisco. Both are ex- tremely popular among the younger set and move in the most exclusive circles. No hint of the engagement of Miss Byrne had been heard here before the news of her unexpected marriage. There were a number of prominent Americans at the wedding and among | the guests were the Duchess of West minster, Mr. and Mrs. Perry Belmont, Lady Hood, Mr. M Selden ‘Whitehouse, Sir arles Mendl, the Marquise de Breteuil, s. Irving Brokaw and Mr. and Mrs. Mortimer L.

Old Westbury, Long Island, the home of polo and smart entertaining, extended a hearty welcome the other day to Mr. and Mrs. Harry Payne ‘Whitney, when they took possession of thelr new brick residence. The house, which is done in old English style, commands an excellent view of Long Island Sound and is a few hun- dred feet from the old Whitney man- sion. It has been under construction for more than two years.. The nearby structure is being al- tered. It was once the country home of the late Willlam C. Whitney, and its hospitable roof has sheltered some of the world's most famous folk. The original plan of the house will not be changed in alteration, it is believed. Mr. and Mrs. Barlie McKee Henry, son-in-law and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Whitney, have returned from a vear abroad and are guests ut the Whitney home..

It will be followed residence, which in years past has been the scene of some of the most notable entertainments ever given in New York. It was here that the com- modore and the late Mrs. Gerry each Winter gave one of the most brilliant cotillons of the Winter. The dinners during the season were features of New York's social program. Commo- dore Gerry himself looked into each detail of the arrangements, even to arranging the menu. Miss Gerry will have no attendants. She will be given in marriage by her brother,- Robert Livingston Gerry. Another brother is Senator Peter Goelet Gerry.
