The marriage ceremony of Miss Jones
and .Professor Mareland, to occur next
Tursday will attract considerable atten
tion as both parties are prominent young
people. The present week has been sin
gularly devoid of incident, and there is
.- zj nothing especially encouraging in the
outlook. In the absence of anything else to occupy attention gos
sip is to the fore, and these dajB one can hoar almost anything about
one's friends. Some engagements between young people well known
in society that were supposed to be almost on the point of a happy
culmination are reported to be "off," and the reasons that are assign
ed therefor in some instances are decidedly interesting. On tho
other hand gossip has joined together some people in an unexpected
manner, and the wise ones assert that there will be some surprises
in the fall. Somebody is always making statements of this kind.
