Dec. 13.—London society is evidences of enthusiasm for the new international marriage idea as exemplified by the recent nuptials of the Austrian Countess Camilla Hoyos and Charles Wilkins Short, Jr., of Cincin nati and Boston. The number of invitations that are keeping the young people going on an almost constant round of the most fash ionable homes would Indicate that the reversal of the customary marriage—that of the European nobleman to the Ameri can heiress—is welcome here. However, the personalities of the bride and bridegroom certainly have much to do with their popularity. Mr. Short, who has no title except a college degree from Hamilton and whose career as an architect in Boston has only just begun, is greatly admired for his distinguished manners and manly mind. Peers hobnob with the young American as genially as if his fathers had been with Richard Coeur DeLion in the -Crusades, instead of helping to make Cincinnati famous. The Countess Camillo, on the other hand, has a title that goes back through Austrian centuries to the glorious days of Spain’s supremacy, but she has also an untitled English mother, who was Miss Alice Whitehead, granddaughter of Sir Robert Whitehead, who invented the Whitehead torpedo. Her mother’s sister in-law, Lady Beetham Whitehead, holds a position of distinction in London society, and has lent her social influence to the gentle task of making the residence in London of her niece a memorable honey moon. It is expected that Mr. Short and his bride will sail within a few weeks for America, where he intends to resume his business. Countess Camilla has vis ited America several times, and has been popular at Newport. She was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Choate at their summer home in the on two occasions. Society is still talking of the brilliant wedding, which took place in Holy Trin ity church. The bridesmaids, who were all 'dressed in white, were Countess Bismarck, Bar oness Gabriella Plesson.
