BROTHER OF MRS. REEVES

The Wedding One of the Greatest Social Events Was Held in Baltimore.

Tn the Magazine section of last Sunday's Chicago American the story of how Mr. B. Howell Griswold, of

Baltimore, who is well known to Richmond society having on several J occasions visited his sister Mrs. Jes- J se Reeved or north tenth street, woed and married Miss Bessie Brown of Baltimore, the heiress of multi-mil-J lionaire Alexander Brown of Baltimore, New York and London. The storv is "played up" in a most lu

rid style. It appears under the caption "How the Poor but Worthy Reporter Married the Great Banker's Daughter." The article occupies a whole page and is embellished with sensational pcn md ink &rawings aQj photographs of the bride and groom. The following extracts of the article are taken: Baltimore. Dec. 10. A pretty romance, with features quite out of the ordinary in fact, a unique variation on the theme of

that literary classic, "The Romance of a Poor Young Man," is of absorbing interest just now in the most fashionable circles of Maryland society. It is best introduced by a description of two charming scenes, in which hero and heroine figures with much credit to themselves." And this heroine was Miss Bessie Brown. heires of a multi-millionaire, while li e hero was only "Ben Griswold," a poor newspaper reporter. At the mansion of Alexander Brown, the multi-millionaire banker of Baltimore, New York and .IiOndon, there was a brilliant wedding reception a week ago last Wednesday even ing to the banker's daughter and her newly wedded husband Mr. and Mrs B. Howell Griswold. While the bride was being showered with congratulations the bridegroom, who happened iust then to be in the main hall, over-lieai-d Banker Brown's butler argn-

I want to make some notes about those present and the costumes of the ladies." It was a most disagreeable night out of doors. The new son-in-law of Banker Brown shouted to the servant at the door: "Certainly, show the reporter in; I used to be a reporter myself." "Good evening, Mr. Griswold," said the reporter. The now rich and happy young millionaire extended his hand cordially. Then he sat down and told his old reporter comrade all about the reception. The other scene occurred at the same door of Banker Brown's home six years before. The occasion was a party for Miss Bessie Brown, and "Ben Griswold" had been sent by the city editor of the Sun to get the particulars. It was a cold, stormy evening. Ben Griswold, with his great coat collar turned up above his ears, stood on the steps and rang the bell. She butler opened the doorhalf way. "I am society reporter4 for the Sun," said Ben Griswold. "I want to make some notes about Miss Brown's party." The butler was large, impressive and doubtful, lie hesitated as though wondering whether he would

above the heads of the seated company. The blossoms were of wlrite, yellow, pink, purple and variegated colors. The effect was magnificent. Of the presents to Mr. and Mrs. Griswold, besides chesti after chest of silverware, piece after piece of independent silver and gold tableware and ornaments, and diamondsto the value of $100,000, there were three slips of paper which meant much to the young couple. One Avas a check for $100,000, another was the declaration of Mr. Brown to build the couple a handsome mansion and the third was from Mrs. Brown, who assumed the privilege of furnishing it from top to bottom. With the tying of the knot, Mr. Brown announced that his new son-in-law had been made a members of his great financial institutions and at this end of the bridge of his career Mr. Griswold, yet to see his thirtieth birthday, scans the chasm of endeavor from "space" reporter to captain of finance. The young couple stole away dur-

I ing the luncheon and in President Murphy's private car began their

honeymoon over the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Before settling down to home life Mr. and Mrs. Griswold will make a tour of Europe. Young Mrs. Griswold is one of the

face of a reporter. "Ask the gentleman in, of course" said Miss Brown. And when Ben Griswold, the society reporter, had entered, she patiently, and with the most engaging frankness, told him all lie needed to know for his paper. From that evening on Reporter Ben Griswold knew it was useless for him to attempt to dismiss Miss Brown from his mind.

Newspaper reporters are very seldom society men. They do not have the short hours of duty enjoyed by bank clerks and brokers, and besides, society does not take kindly to reportersexcept those members of society who are very anxious to see their names in print. There seemed to be no opportunity for Reporter Griswold to improve his acquaintance with the banker's daughter.
