2 SOON TO BE A DUCHESS GOSSIP CONCERNING MISS VAN DERBILT'S MARRIAGE TO THE DUKE. A GALAXY OF RICH WEDOINGS Mi>>w Vanderbilt Mill be Married at Grace Church and Bishop Potter Will Officiate—lt M ill be One of the Most Notable Weddings Ever Held in New Vork-She Mill Pav f 15,000 lor Her Title—Facts Concerning the Bride- The English Nobility. New York, Oet. 15.— Public interest in the approaching nuptials of the Duke oi Marlborough and Miss Coosnelo Van derbilt is heightened by the definite an nouncement of the date of the cere mony. The marriage will take place at Grace Church on November 14, and Bishop Potter will officiate, assisted by the rector, Rev. Dr. Huntington. Mr. W. K. Vanderbilt will give his daughter away at the altar. . The deepest interest is felt by society as to whether the officiating clergyman will marry the Duke of Marlborough under all of his titles, or a selection. Will plain Charles Richard John, Duke of Marlborough, take Conseulo, or will all the other titles down to Baron Spen cer of Wormleigliton, Prince of the Holy Roman Empire and Prince of Mindleheim in Suabia, have a hand in the matter? The wedding, in its way, will be one of the most notable ever held in this city. The Prince of Wales will be represented by a deputized friend. The Duke's mother, the Marchioness of Blandford, and other titled relatives, will also be present. The ceremony will take place at noon, in the English fashion. There is much talk, of course, in re gard to the financial side of this inter national wedding. It is stated on what seems to be good authority, that, in ad dition to the dowry of $10,000,000 which goes to Miss Consuelo on her mar riage, a settlement of $5,0(0,000 has been made upon her by a father. The engagement, by the way, suggests the extraordinary number of plutocratic weddings scheduled for this autumn in New York. Never before has there been such a galaxy of rich weddings on the society tapis, and the fall and early winter promises to unite a larger number of millionaire families than any similar period in the social history of the coun try. To enumerate the dollars concerned by these alliances is a huge and some what delicate task. This table gives an approximate idea of the subject, how ever: Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt—Moses Taylor, ------ $80,000,000 Miss' rauline Whitney—A. 11. PillfGt, • -•••• lo,ui)u,(jUu Miss Edith Rockefeller—Harold McCormick, ----- 38,000,000 Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt—Duke _ of Marlborough, - 25,000,000 Miss Felieite Oglesby—G. M. Pull man, Jr.,- - * - - * 15,000,000 Miss Ethel V. Phelps-Stokes— J. S. Hoyt, 9,000,000 Grand total, - - - - $135,000.00# Moreover there are various impending announcements of engagements fully as interesting, including that of Miss Rock efeller’s sister. It is an encouraging fact that notwithstanding all that has been said to the contrary, these plutocratic marriages and international alliances fenerally prove happy. The last of the ind, that of the Earl of Craven and Miss Bradley Martin, has resulted in unde niable matrimonial happiness. Even the present Lady Beresford was not un happy as the Duchess of Marlborough, and there is the Countess of Castellane, who is a happy wife. The New York World puts into a nut shell various facts concerning Miss Con suelo Vanderbilt. Ti e summary is as follows: Age—Eighteen years. Height—Five feet six inches. Color of hair—Black. Color of eyes—Dark brown. Eyebrows - Delicately arched. Nose—Rather slightly retrousse. Weight—One hundred and sixteen and one-half pounds. Foot—Slender, with arched instep. Size of shoe —No. 3, AA last. Length of foot—Eight and one half inches. Hand—Delicate, with tapering fingers. Size of glove—Five and three-fourths. Length of hand—Bix inches. Waist measure—T wenty inches, length of skirt—Forty-four inches. Face - Somewhat oval. Complexion—dearest olive, with rosy cheeks. Chin—Pointed, indicating vivacity. Mouth— Small aad without character. Teeth— White, regular, and well kept. Lips—Full, and describing a Cupid’s bow. Accomplishments—Music, fainting, languages. Chief accomplishment—None. Marriage settlement—Ten million dol lars. Ultimate fortune -Twenty-five million dollars (estimated ) E irs—Small and close to the head. Head—Well rounded and well poised Special fad—None. Favorite color—Pink. Favorite sport—Tennis Favorite exercise —Bicycling. Favorite flower—American beauty rose. lu connection with this wedding the spiteful comments of the English are at trading no little attention. But it is difficult to see how the English aristoc racy are lining anything by the trans action. The old English estates seem, many of them, to tie in such a bad way that American money can alone resus ciate them. Certainly a title can confer no teal nobility upon an American wo man. Miss Vanderbilt’s money, how ever, can confer a decided benefit upon England in the way of restoring the neg lected ducal residence at Blenheim. And, to tell the real truth, English so ciety has never lost anything in either beauty or culture by the introduction of American blood into it* somewhat effete circles. The English aristocracy is uot blooded, in the full sense of that word. Most of its modern members, like the Duke of Marlborough himself, date back to a not far distant bumble origin. In fact, the only vitality the landed gentry of England at present possess is due to their elevation from or connection with the sordid and money making element that is the real basis of society, and without whose ducats even imperial lines must go to decay. WEDDING AT MOCKSVILLE. Marriage of Mr. Guy Maudlin and Miss Pearl Hawkins. Special to the News and Observer. Winston-Salem, N. C., Oct. 15. At high noon to day Miss Pearl Haw kins, daughter of Capt.
