TALK OVER THE BIDDLE-DUKE
WEDDING LITERALLY ENDLESS
Incidents Without Number Furnish Subjects for Conversation
Virtually Certain to Keep society Occupied with
Recollections Delightful and Remarkable.
There was an exceptionally larso lot of
"thing to talk over" about the Dukc
Biddle weddlns today, and thero were a
great many little mornlns parties assem
bled In, 'various houses In tho Rlttenhuoso
Bquara district. Of courso, the thins
everybody said first was, "Did you over
see such n crowd?" and then they got
on to tho subject of the woman's clothes.
But they came back to tho crowds. Did
you see Mayor- Dtankcnburg go up the
back stairs at the Biddies' becauso the
only other way tho Mayor could net up
to the third Hoor to see the presents was
tho packed and Jammed front stairway?
And did you see Mrs. Van Rensselaer nnd
. lira. Drexel go out through tho stable to
get to their autoa because thn front steps
at that tlmo were Impassable?
They were not the only ones. The side
yard of tho house nt 2101 Walnut street,
past the kitchen windows, saved many
a. wedding guest and her gown from tlmt
front-door crush. From the yard they
entered the stable, or rather garage these
days, among the perilously crowding
gasoline tanks and other ungainly equip
ment, and emerged thonce to tho blind
Alley, where a few steps brought them
to the safety of their nutos on 21st
street.
The feat of getting up to see the
presents was hazardous, but ono could
do It Jf he or she kept his or her el
bows tucked Inward went sldewlso. Onco
up there, thero was only a peep to bo
had, really, through tho door, across
which bars had been nailed, and ono
had to Just look in at' the high piled
Wonders of silver and gold nnd glass
and diamonds no, the diamonds weren't
there then.
Most of the Jewels had been sent to
bank, but a few were still around, bo
cause Mr. niddle was seen hurrying some
where with a. box of them In one hand
and something that looked like checks in
tho other. It was said he gave his daugh
ter a substantial check, enough to make
tier Independent for life.
Every one was Interested to know be
fore the reception Just how far Mr- Blddlo
would Impose his temperance views on his
guesjts. It was said the wedding would
ba completely Bryanlzed, for last winter
the leader of the Drexel-Blddle Bible
classes had poured all the contents of
his costly cellar down that blind alloy
opening on 31st street and taken the
pledge. But these hopes and fears wero
not to be fulfilled, for there was
Champagne.
WONDEItFDI, CLOTHES.
And then, the clothes. Among the many
gorgeous gowns worn that of the bride's
mother stood out In relief. It was made
of brilliant red tulle over a foundation
of will to satin. Tho skirt was cut ex
tremely short, over slippers and stockings
of cream white. Tho tullo was laid on
In tiers of knlfc-plaltcd minings, and
was finished about tho foot in long
points.
Tho bodice wns squaro cut at the neck
and made extremely low. it was trimmed
with traceries of silver thread on tho
bands nbout tho neck and tho tullo
sleeves fitted tho upper part of tho arm
quite tight, whllo long ilowlng draperies
hung from the elbow. Tho hat was a
semliarge model of black tulle, trimmed
high with feather fancies, and Mrs. Bid
die woro a handsome string of pearls.
Mrs. Benjamin N. Duke, tho mother
of the bridegroom, wua resplendent In
a gown of pastel blue faille, which waa
made with a long trnln, nnd coat of tho
same material. The liodlro was a
lighter shade of blue and was wonder
fully embroidered in pale colors.
A priceless necklaco of pearls and dia
monds was worn with tlio gown, and
Mrs. Duke's hnt was mndo of very line
straw trimmed with ruchlngs of tullo and
feathers. Mrs. .lameH Duko was nlo
gowned In blue of a deeper shade. In fact,
with tho exception of tho bride's mother's
gown, blue may bo said to have pre
dominated. Mrs. William Thaw, Cd, look
ed very well in n cloth gown of very
pale bluo gray and an extremely large
hat of Georgette cropo which was topped
with a huge bird with outspread wings.
Further back among tho guests wero
Mr. nnd Mrs. Edward T. Stotesbury, and
almost on a lino with them on tho nido
aisle towards tho centre wero Mr. and
Mrs. "Jack" O'Brien, tho latter wearing
a huge black hat trimmed with rust-colored
ostrich feathers, nnd a corsage bou
quet of pink fcwect peas on a black gown.
"Jack" O'Brien will bo remembered as
Mr. Blddlo's Bparrlng mate, whom ho did
not forget when It came to a question of
wejldlngs. Xor did Mr. Blddlo forget
Warden "Bob" McKenty, of tho Eastern
Penitentiary, nor Qeorgo Long, secretary
of tho Inasmuch Mission, and they were
all at the reception, as well as at the
church.
Mrs. Oeorge W. Childs Drexel, who
may almost be said to be "Tony's" fav

ite nephew, was In a pew with her sis-

And wl.ero did tho brldo nnd nridc
groom go on their wedding trip? They
arc now on tho luxurious prlvato car
"Olympla," speeding wostwnnl. Tho cur
belongs to Benjamin N. Duke, tho father
of tho bridegroom. They aro accompanied
bv a valet, a innld. n chef nnd a porter.
Their destination Is Southern California
and they will bo on tho Pacific coast for
about a month and will probably visit
tho Panama-Paclllc Fair at San Fran
cisco. They will mnko their homo for tho
remainder of tho summer at tho country
estate of Mr, nnd Mrs. James It. Duke,
uncle of Mr. Duko, nt Somervllle, Long
lidnnd.
The fcmlnlno Interest in weddings Is
noi only prrcnnlnl; It is also universal.
Twenty-live women to every man wero
represented in tho throngs that crowded
Itlttcnhotiso Squaro yesterday nfteMoon,
and they ranged In ages anywhorc from
8 months to SO years.
And while they wnlted for the big event
to pome off they aired the gossip they
had gleaned from heaven knows whero,
ns Is the vny with women.
"I hear the Dukes bad to sottlo flvo
millions on her outright befoio the match
was made." said a fat person, depositing
her avoirdupois on a tin rubbish can In
tho Miunre, thereby threatening to un
lit that nrtlolo forever for tho purpose
for which It was made.
"Nonsense," replied her companion, n
thln-llpped Individual with a baby in
her nrms, "what would ho have to do that
for when he could havo the pick of this
country nnd abroad. It was a lovo
match," sho added confidentially, ns
though sho might have been hiding under
tho sofa when tho troth Wns plighted, "1
had It from good authority."
"Somo people," retorted tho fat one,
comfortnbly sinking Into tho can, "say
17 Is too young, but for my part I be
lieve In early marriages. Tako tho first
good chancu you get la what I tell my
daughter, nnd don't go gadding aout
until ynu get so old no man wants
you."
At that moment a cavalcade of mounted
policemen pushed back tho mob surging
lu front of tho canopy nnd tho hushed
murmur bespoke tho coming of tho bridal
nmtor.
The feather on the hnt of an old negro
woman who had been standing on a box
for more thnn two hours, quivered with
