ROYBURGHE MATCH IS MRS, WILSON) ‘Famous Matchmaker, with All i Her Children Well Bestowed, Arranges for Her Grand- daughter’s Marriage to Duke. SOCIETY MOTHERS TREMBLE Her Pre-eminence In Matrimonial Af- fairs Makes Others with Marriage- able Sons and D.ughters Fearful for ‘Thelr Chances. ‘When the engagement of Miss ‘May Goelet to the Duke of Roxburghe was announced simultaneously in the United States and England a universal sigh went up from the matchmaking mam- mas of society. It was a sigh blending satisfaction over the fact that the mat- rimonial way was finally cleared of the most eligible heiress in New York and of apprehension caused by the inference from the announcement that Mrs. R. T. Wilson, known for years as the most successful matchmaker in society, had returned to the fray Even those not of an analytical turn of mind were aware that the decision of Mrs. Wilson's granddaughter—who for several seasons had amused herself by rejecting ducal and prince! jultors, trying half the coronets of HBurope on her pretty head. as it were, only to find them too small—was not uninfluenced by her wonderfully wise and successfuy relative. To some persons tn society it seems that, having married her five childrea with a degree of good fortune unparal- leled in the history of New York fam- Mes, this dainty gray-halred old lady should have retired gracefully from the matchmaking arena, Would Not Retire. But Mrs. Wilson, to whom the pulling of the various wires by which the soci- ety heart is operated had become second nature, did not agree with them. And having no more daughters or sons to give in marriage, she has begun, naturally enough, with her grand- children, Therefore society—that portion of It which attends balls that its daughters some one to come to between and sits in stolid expectation of supper—sighs. For with Mrs. Wilson in the Meld what carefully nutured bud Not of Wilson stock can hope to attain the full perfection of bloom that comes to her who marries millions ? ‘The annals of New York society hold no record of successful matchmaking whieh fn brilllancy or number can rival the marriages Mrs, Wilson, a tiny, shrinking white-haired old lady, who came to New York in the early ‘70s, has arranged tor her five children.
