Countess Becomes Wife of Untitled American
CUPID UPSETS CUSTOM
LONDON, Dec. IS.—London society is
giving all 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 Amerl- I
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 genlaJly 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 w’ithin 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 Adlrondacks 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, Miss Cecily
Whitehead, daughter of Sir Beetham
causes run-down health and sickness.
Scott's Emulsion and rest are needed,
but SCOTT'S EMULSION is more
important because it enriches the blood,
nourishes the nerves—builds the
body and restores strength, vigor
| immediate energy without
I | Cjr interrupting daily duties.
|ll . h Scott's Emulsion drives out colds
I J strengthens the lungs.
