Only a short time ago Mrs. Mabel Cox, formerly the wife of Dr. Row- land Cox, Jr., of New York, was wedded in London to Congressman Francis Burton Harrison, also of Ame- rica's mettopolis. It was a union of social position on both sides, Two days previously Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr.,| daughter of Rear Admiral Hichbhorn, :- United States navy, be- came the bride, in Philadelphia, of Lieut. Paul Stanford Pearsall, son of a millionaire and quite wealthy in his own right. Barly autumn witnessed the capture of America's richest bachelor, James Heury Smith, by Mrs. W. Rhinelander Stewart, from whose wrist the first matrimonial bonds had been stricken po recently by a < South Dakota court. At that time society had scarcely ceased discussing the wedding, in London, of Waldorf Astor, heir to and - Mrs. =~Nannie Langhorne Shaw, at whose feet a score of admirers were said to be petitioning for: favor. . Not far backward in recent history is it necessary to travel to reach the marriage of Mrs. Louise Hollings- worth Gebbhard, formerly the beauti- ful Louise Morris, of Baltimore, to Henry, Clews, Jr.; the nuptials of Mrs. W. Gould Brokaw and William G. Roelker; of Mrs. Fannie Burke Roche and Aurel Batonyi: of Mrs. Henry T. Sloane and Perry Belmont; of Mrs. T, Suffern Tailer and Hon. Cecil Baring, of England; of Mrs. J.

Mr. and Mrs. Francis Burton Harri- son are said to be spending - their honeymoon sailing the balmy Mediter ranean Sea. A little over a year ago they met in Cuba for the first time It was declared to be a case of love at first sight on both sides. The then Mrs. Cox was desperately unhappy. She had virtually separa- ted from her husband, and was reap- ing all the bitterness of her martial failure. Mr. Harrison himsell was emerging from the shadow of a great sorrow. Something over a year before his wife, Mary Crocker, a California heiress, had been killed in a sensa- tional automobile accident. It did not take long for Cupid to build up these bruised hearts. Before®her first marriage Mrs. Har rison was a Miss Judson, of a wealthy family, and one of the most popular of Brooklyn's exclusive Heights set. Mr. Harrison comes of a distinguished old New York family. He is a sor of Mrs. Burton Harrison, the authoress; is a graduate of Yale, and has the en- tree into the most exelusive social circles of New York and Newport. Ink had not been thirty days on the divorce papers of Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr., when she became the wife of Lieut. Pearsall. She had been pre ceded "just nine years in the Dakota divorce records by young Blaine's first wife, formerly Marie Nevins, now the wife of Dr. W. TT, Bull, the eminent New York surgeon. For"several yesrs prior to her mar- riage to James G. Blaine, Jr., Martha Hichborn had ben declared the most beautiful girl ith the Washington so- cial set. : Her family and friends stoutly op- posed her acceptance of young Blaine basing their objections upon his per- sonality and all record. Miss Hichborn declared, however, that she wolild make a man of him and become his -wife July 4th, 1901. « Once the first and second wives of young Blaine--the first was then Mrs. Bull--crossed. the occan on the same ship. They. were not acquaihted at the beginning of the voyage, hut before it ended were the chummiest of chums. Mrs. Blaine heard that Mrs. Bull was Bhodtd, and lookéd her up. She found her lounging im\a Adeck chair, watch- Be IN it Blo: rlaying nearby.

Last year's greatest surprise perhaps was the marriage of James Henry Smith and Mrs. W. Rhinelandér Stew- art. Society had about given up Mr. Smith as undivorceably wedded to the idols of bachelorhood. With a fortune estimated at from $50,000,000 to" $75,000,000, Mr. Smith wag regarded as the richest bachelor in the country. None was more wel- come to the exclusive functions of the inner circle; and many a net was cast for his feet, it * is"said, by designing mammas. - * Mr. Smith dodged persistently and skilfully, however, He entertained sumptuously, met all that New York and, Newport expect a man of wealth except to lead a bride to the altar But when Mrs. Stewnft secured . her divorce in South Dakota, last August; the stars took on a different reading for Henry James Smith. About "a month later the two were married in the parish church of Alvie, Inverness, Scotland. Mrs. Smith was formerly Miss An- nie Armstrong, daughter of a well known - Baltimorean, and a sister of Mrs. Anthony J. Drexel, oi Philadel: phia. She entered upon her first matri- monial adventure in 1879. . That Mr. Smith was pleased to de sert the ranks of bachelors was indi- cater], in one way, hy the magnificent jewels he showered upon his brides. In one combination of dog collar and necklace are 2,000 diamonds, the value of the ornament being $250,000, Then there are arm ornament of ehamond erpent that = coil several times about the arm from the shoul der to below theoelbow. The eve of the serpents arc of pigeon blood rubics The combined value of the serpents is $269,900, making the cost of gifts alone half a million dollars, Although the first marriage of Mrs Nannie Langhorne Shaw proved so un happy that it terminated in the di- voroe court, her friende belisve that as the wife of Waldorf Astor she will two into the coming years, & prinirase-strewn path stretching \ | A tm the Court fom to the (Thar peems to be Vell rod ea WEDNESDAY, MARCH ¢, 1907.

' When quite young, Nannie Lang- horne became the wife of Robert G Shaw, second, of Boston, but secured a divorce, with the custody of her child, at the end of two vears, amd went to Europe. An ardent horsewoman, Mrs. Shaw was never so happy as "when in the saddle, and she soon hecame known ih England as a. fearless rider t, the hounds, a sport at. which she became proficient among the hills of old Vir- ginia. Mr. Astor, also a keen sports man, met her in the hunting field, and an grdent courtship was at once "be- gun, Girlish in appearance, with a wealth of blonde hair and a marvelous com- plexion, Mrs, Astor, is considered a gromt wit, and is the life of any party that she joins.

When Louise Morris, of Baltimore, married Frode Gebhard, she was widely known as one of 4 trio of sis ters noted for' their beauty and cul- ture, This was apother voyage upon which the matrimonial bark eacountered trqubled seas, and jn the fall of 1901 Mrs. Gebhard secured 5 divgree from the South Dakota courts. She was awarded alimony, amounting to 8186, #00 ahd a handsome residence in New York. Like others who had heen freed in that stage of casy separation, Mrs. Gebhard lost little time in procesding from court room to altar again, In about g month she took & second hos- band, in the person of Henry Clews, Jr. wm of the widely known New York banker Another member of the Sionx Falls divorce colony at one time was Mrs. TT. Kuffern Tailor. a danghter of Pierre Lorillyrd, the tobacco and: turf king Later she married Hon. Cecil ' Baring, member of the famous English bank- ing firm of Baring Brothers, a brother of. Lord Revelstoke and heir presump- tive to the title. On the day that a diveres court se- parated Mr. and Mre. Henry 7. Sloane the latter became the wife of Perry Belmont, known in financial and poli- tical circles throughout the country. Mr. Belmont had been named in Mr. Sloan's suit against his wife This mdrviage, more than any other single incident perhaps, precipitated the agitation begun by churchmen against divorce several vears ago. So- ciety was rather cool >to her for. seve. ral seasons, it is said, until she spent a winter in London and took exclus- ive circles there by storm. Since thon she has been more or less prominent in the Newport set When Angusta Astor, daughter of Mrs. William tor, and sister of Col. John Jacob Astor, maried J.
