Hollis McKim, to Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, divorced husband of Mrs. Ellen French Vanderbilt Tt is also cabled from London that the bride wore a gray dress. ‘There has been much anxiety over these young scions of noble families, Alfred Gwygne was known to be snooping around the beautiful McKim widow (alfalfa) pretty consider ably but there was some fear that, instead of blending together, one of these young hearts should place its choice on some party without any divorce experience whatever. Now the social standings, the fortunes and the court records are united, which is nice. And could anyone be more thoughtful than the foreign correspondent who cabled that she was married in a gray dress? Surely it is worth the cable money to our quivering social circles © to know that it was not a red, or yellow, or green dress, but just & quiet, ladylike gray. . We are also informed that it was a “pleasant wedding This is cheering, too, some weddings are such riotous, throat-cut- ting affairs. Altogether, Em Emerson is to be congratulated on this match having been pulled off in such fine shape. A Vision of Homes for All “We declare that there is no more wonderful fact than this: ‘That an industrious man can support his family on a very little land.” ‘ “ Such is the declaration of the nineteenth national irrigation eongress in its Chicago platform. It proceeded: “Hearing the cry of the people for homes, and for the res- toration of individual hope and prospect, we call upon the nation e The policy urged is “the creation of a bureau of rural settle- ments, to organize communities not only on the reclaimed lands of the west and south, but on vacant lands surrounding centers of population, the government supplying leadership, instruc- tion and loans of credit or capital when necessary This in effect, an adaptation of the well-tried New Z land system of colonization under national auspices to the pecul- iar conditions of American life. “A vision of homes for all! at A vision of a reorganized life on “the soil, not only in the new states of the West, but around great cities from the At lantic to the Pacific! i of voting with Aldrich more than 114 times by ‘circumstances over which he had no control, Senator Theodore Barton, the distinguished senior senator from Ohio, has turned court oath, and we hope to see the campaign fit to a finish Tt y doesn't make much difference how the thing tes.
