She is so dainty and has such fair hair, large blue eyes and the tiniest mouth you almost ever saw. ISN'T it interesting to hear that Dr. Albert Francine nnd his wife arc among those invited by the licutennnt governor of Quebec to meet Edward Albert or Dave, as I hear they call him at home, at Snencer Wood, Po'rnt a Pic, P. Q., Cannda, on Saturday, in other words, tomorrow? Mrs.' Francine was Emillc Ehret, you remember, nnd a most attractive woman. It's Uways gratify ing to havo representative Phjiadcl phians represent Philadelphia, is it not? Albert Francine is a brother of Hor ace, who married Edith Meade. They arc all very popular members of the married set. Mrs. Albert Francine is as dark as Mrs. Horace Francine is fair. w JFAAi, Ellen Douglas Newbold put one over on some of us when she announced that her marriage to Charlie Lee would take place on Saturday at St. James's Church. Some of her friends knew about her engagement, but most of us did not. It was to bo announced soon aud then Charlie Lee was enlled to Europe on business suddenly nnd so it wns decided that they be married at once nnd then she could go with him. Ellen Newbold H the daughter of the late John DaCostn Newbold and Mrs. Newbold, and n sister of Angela New bold and of Dick Newbold, who mnrrled Nannie Ileckscher, nnd of John DaCosta Newbold.

He is a grndson of the late Mr. Charles Smith and a nephew o,t Mr. Horace Eu gene Smith, of this city. The wedding will take place in St. James's Church, Twenty-becond and Walnut streets to morrow nt five o'clock. It appears that Charlie Lee has been appointed to represent the Baldwin Lo comotive Works in Bucharest, Ru mania, where he nnd another man will open an agency1 for the company. Won't it be interesting to go over there? I Bhould think Ellen would bo awfully ex cited over the wonderful things she will see in those far-off countries. It will xeally be more interesting than In France or any of the. recent warring countries. Dick Newbold is going to give Ellen In marriage, nnd Ralph Pearson is to be best man for Charlie Lee.

SIIss Gratz. Is buried in the Hebrew graveyard, Spruce street above Ninth. The life story of Rebecca Gratz was one of unusual romance. Her father, a native of Austria, came to America to try his fortune. He came to Phila delphia in 17u0 and became a merchant, supplying the Iudians. He became n man of wealth nnd importance. In 1709 he married a young woman of Lancas ter, Pa. Rebecca Gratz was born in 1781- , , , Rebecca Gratz became noted for her beauty and grnciousuess and was mucn sought after in boeiety.

Sliss Hoffman, who was to have married Irving, died when only eighteen years old, and Sliss Gratz s friendly sympathy meant much to the American nuthor. He told her story one day to Sir Walter Scott and the latter s so impressed he wrote a new novel, naming the heroiue Rebecca anil the book "Ivanhoe." The first copy of this book, completed just 100 ) cars ago this December, wus bent by its author to Washington Irving.

To the t.ditor Kientng Public Lttlorr: Sir Is this hypothesis overdrawn?: Johu Doe is leader of the li!2d Ward and can easily control and "deliver" C000 votes in the mayoralty contest. Sir. -Moore needs his support badly, anil so does Judge Patterson. Each candidate approaches him, but Sir. Doe is non committal, even though lie is really the Uecicling factor in the tight. While the ina)orolty campnign is on somebody bucs Sir. Doe for SlJ.IO.OOO, and the hearing of the cube is listed for Judge 1'attersou's court. Would not that be most embarrassing for the learned judge? And would not that em barrassment be entirely due to himself? IGNOKASII'S. Philadelphia, August L'0.
