KMT BE CATTY,BUT REALLY IT’S MUSING Smart Set in Flurry Over Vanderbilt’s Wedding to Miss Morgan. REGGIE'S SO IMPETUOUS You’ll Never Believe It, but Ceremony Performed at Tradesman’s Home. By WESTBROOK PEGLER United News Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK. March 7. —The smart social set is really in quite a bit of a flurry—and two is eight—over the helter-skelter wedding of Regglfe Vanderbilt and Gloria Morgan. As Mrs. Eisenbaum of Hester St. was saying to erh old man. Maxle. when he came home from the vest works, “one wouldn't wish to be catty for worlds, but really, Maxie,” she said to her husband, “wasn't it Just too amusing the way the racket was hauled off after all their preparations? Dear, dear! How comical.” For. instead of being married at the home of Mrs. Glenn Stewart — of the Stewarts of Park Ave—they suddenly changed their plans and went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. Von Der Horst ICoch. A nice enough home. but. really, you'll never believe it! The person is in trade. Yes, a tradesman. Runs some sort of drygoods shop up in the Bronx, you know Oh. dear, just fancy that! Indeed no, as Mrs. Eisenbaum said to her old man.'one wouldn’t be a. tabby about this matter. But one feels sure that Reggie, himself, would j overlook a short refined merriment j over what happened and how it happened to happen. Strapping Big Chap But first, of course you know Reg- j gie. he’s one of the divorced Vanderbilts, naturally; has a daughter, Cath- j leen, about 19; bulges slightly over his I collar; very horsey; strapping big I chap. And his bride of course, was Miss Gloria Morgan, age 17. daughter of Harr>- Hays Morgan, United States consul general at Brussels. She becomes step-mother to a girl older than herself: has a sister who married some sort of foreign count chap, becoming the Countess de Maupas. Is that clear? Very good then. The doyvager Mrs. Vanderbilt, mother of Reggie, had decided to come to the wedding, all efforts liaving failed to delay it further on the ground that the young people perhaps didn't really know their own minds. Reggie’s So Impetuous Young lad that he is, Reggie might have been rushing into marriage in the blind impetuosity of youth Mrs. Stewart's home in the exclusive Marguery had been beautifully decorated, the caterers were ready to do their nicest and the guests were anticipating a pleasant afternoon, perhaps a mild binge. Inasmuch as champagne is always indicated at a truly swagger wedding. And then, at midnight Mrs. Stewart was informed that all was off with the party at her place. The guests were reached by phone and what-not and told to go to this Mr. Von Der Horst Koch’s place. The change was made to circumvent the reporters. Frightful pests, reporters. One of them managed to wangle a way in somehow, and min- * gled with the guests, the aggressive boor! He had the crass effrontery • to make a nasty remark about a pink shirt that one of the gentlemen was wearing. And when asked to leave the house had the consummate illtaste to offer a $3 bill, saying: “This is for the champagne you gave me by mistake!” Well, and then Reggie's daughter, Cathleen, failed to arrive from Palm Beach and there was a how-de-do for you. because she was to have been bridesmaid for her new young mama.

Then they’ll play the game with / eaoh boy—or girl—knuckling down on the edge of the big ring as shown in the picture. (Fig. 3.) lie —or she—can knuckle down at any point of the circumference of the ring that is desired, for “roundsters” is permitted on all shots not made from inside the ring. And the “shooters” must only be left lying when they stop inside the ring. If the shooter goes beyond the ring, the owner picks it up and waits his next turn, then shoots again from any point on the edge of the ring. A lad gets as many “ducks” as he can knock out of the ring, getting another shot each turn whenever he makes a duck, if he hits an opponent’s shooter in the ring he gets a duck. If

By United Xrus BERLIN, March 7.—Germany will not desert her "lost province”—the Ruhr. Chancellor Wllhelm’Ouno made this vow Tuesday in the course of a speech in the Reichstag, in which he rtayed France for invading the industrial area and made frequent charges that atrocities had been committed against the inhabitants. The chancellor made tl clear that Germany would never sue for peace in the coal war with France and would enter into negotiations only in the event the proposal came from a third power and Germany was admitted to a conference on equal footing with France. U. S. RUHR PROTESTS GROW By l nited Xeirs WASHINGTON, March 7.—The voice of American business is beginning to be heard in positive terms regarding the French occupation of the German Ruhr valley. The cries of protest, strong echoes of which are being heard dally by the State and Commerce Departments, are coming from every section of the country. The trend of the protests seemed to he that the accusation is interfering with American commerce. The business interests are not specifically saying that obstructionist policies of the French government are responsible as much as that tho natural confusion that has resulted in Europe generally is because of file occupation. It. is learned that the State Department thus far has done nothing at all to remedy the unpleasant situation of which the letters from American business men complain. It Is believed, further, that any action Secretary Hughes might take will depend largely on the outcome of the Investigation which the Department of Commerce has started. This Inquiry is endeavoring to establish the extent, to which commerce is being “Interfered with." The protests are coming both from the manufacturing and agricultural Interests of the country, It Is understood.

My gorgeous hat with its stunning aigrette once more became just a hat. My sable coat faded into my worn winter wrap. I walked away. I stepped into my car. “Home, James,” I told the conductor.

BUZZARD SWEEPS NEW YORK AND ATLANTIC COAST New England States in Grip of Storm —Traffic Is Paralyzed, The “March lion” will be a friendly, tame animal today and Thursday, according to J. H. Armington, weather bureau meteorologist. Clear skies and seasonable weather will prevail, he said. Temperatures will be close to the freezing point, but there will be no rain or snow, he predicted. By United Press The East, buried beneath the most widespread heavy snowfall of the winter, faced serious transportation delays and another serious coal shortage today.

Harbor traffic was almost tied up. only ferries and tugs groping and battling their way through the blizzard. The cold wave, following spring-like weather, again caused a coal shortage. City health authorities issued influenza warnings. Nearly a thousand snow shovelers answered the city’s call to keep streets and sidewalks clear and this number proved totally inadequate. Elevated railroads were tied up for over an h air in many places early today. HIGH WIND HITS GEORGIA ; Property Damage Runs Into Thousands. By United Press ATLANTA. Ga.

SUGAR SHOCKS AMREAIG | Gamblers, However, Still Cry Out ‘Shortage,’ By JOHN CARSON, Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, March 7 —Sugar j stocks are increasing rapidly while the sugar gamblers in Wall Street are trying to put over a panic oa the cry of “sugar shortage.” On Jan. 1, 1923, sugar stocks in the United States and Cuba were 1,200.000 tons less than on the same date last year. In seven weeks thl* shortage has been reduced by 500,000 tons. The history of sugar shows that invariably sugar prices decline in February—although this year the speculators saw to it that prices increased. “Our own view is that crop is progressing steadily with a production far in excess of last year, up to this time.” Willette & Gray declared on Feb. 15 —just at the time the gamblers were talking about a sugar shortage.
