The Duke ts at Newport, the guest of Mrs. Ogden Goelet, his prospective fmother-in-law. : {This announcement settles the quea- fon of whom May Goelet Is to marcy. Bhe has deen reported engaged to More young men abroad and in the Pnited States than any other of the reat helresses of New York. As far Wack os 1897 it was first sald fhat she would marry the Duke of Rox- rghe, who was then a typical figure @f the youthful nobility in London. fe had succeeded to his title in 1802, re Wooed by Many. “But the engagement was not an- \ fhounced officially and Miss Goelet and y her mother travelled far and wide } through Europe, becoming known In all the gay capitals. At almost every place they visited some snpecunious noble- man found time to fall in love with the Sweet-faced New York girl and make An attempt to win ter, One after an- other these attempts were recorded and forgotten. Occasionally the young Duke of Rox- urghe would loom up in the running only to drop out again. A ttle over two years ago it was reported that he Swan engaged to Pauline Astor, eldest daughter of William Waldorf Astor. It ts cértain that he was paying sincere at- tentions to young Miss Astor. May Goelet ts the granddaghter of R. T. Wilson and the niece of Mrs. Cornel- fus Vanderbilt, jr. Mrs. R. T. Wilson Is Fenowned as the champion matchmaker of New York. She came here from the South unknown, Just after the civil wa: and succeeded in marrying her childr Into the richest families of the metrop- oll: Pa Mistress of Great Fortune. It was understood in the set in which May Goolet moved, even when she was @ little girl, that her mother and grand- mother had designed that she should marry a title. Consequently the young eligibles of New York held aloof, al- though she grew up to be a most harming young person, It is sald to- day that she is the eichest girl in her own right in New York society. Her fortune Is estimated at ‘$40,000,000 as it tands, and it is growing remarkably fasit ‘Miss Goelet was taken abroad early in Mfe by her mother and most of her Ufevhas been spent In London and Paris, Tt was from London that first en- gigement of this heiress reported, years ago. It was sald that she was pidged to marry the Duke of Man- ehester. 5 When word came to Ogden Goelet of the reported engagement there wei strenuous times about the Goelet home- wtend, at No. 608 [Fifth avenue. He flatly refused to sanction the match with ‘the Duke of Manchester. Then ame the information that the sensible- minded American girl had refused him Following in rapid succession came th names ®!

He went : Bouth Africa and all the world was 14 that his understanding was that if e could win the Victoria Cross he ight have the pleasure of marrying iss Goelet. The Duke of Roxburghe also went to Bouth Africa and fought the Boers, Ap- parently this was the turning point of is good fortune, for since his return has been in high favor with Mra, Goelet and her daughter, and noblemen @nxlous to marry the helress have held more or less aloof. The most notable exception was Prince Hohenlohe. He is aged and his ecard 1s not conducive to make Ameri- cans enthusiastic over the prospect of Gis alliance with an American girl, but hhe was persistent until the story was printed that he had employed a notori- éus German matrimonial agency to ‘bring about the match. If he ever had @ chance the disclosures about this matrimonial agency settled it. “Misa Goelet and her mother lived in Bondon last season at Spencer House, which Mrs. Goelet leased in 1901 for five Pears. When the heiress returned to New York a few days ago and the Duke of Roxburghe w hip, and when the Duke port guest of Mrs, Goelet, it generably agreed that the an- Mouncement of the engagement could Bot be far oft.

King Edward knighted the young Duke after ascending the throne and has shown him many other marks of favor. When Ogden Goelet died he left an |immense fortune, mostly in bonds and other valuable personal property. Be- sides, he left a house in this city and one in Newport.
