Engaged. Miss Gloria Gould, 17, youngest daughter of George J. Gould, who is ill on the Riviera, to Mr. Henry A. Bishop, Jr., of Bridgeport, Conn., Yale student and son of Henry A. Bishop, director of the Western Union Telegraph Co. and other corporations.

Engaged. Princess Genevieve d'Orleans, daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Vendome, to Comte de Chaponey, a great grandson of Adolphe Schneider, founder of the famous Le Creusot Iron works (the French "Krupps").

Married. Gwendolin Marshall Field, granddaughter and heiress of the late Marshall Field of Chicago, to Archibald Charles Edmondstone, son of Sir Archibald Edmonstone, in London. Earl Beatty, First Lord of the Admiralty, gave the bride away, in the absence of her brother, who is ill. The groom's father presented the couple with the ancient castle of Duntreath in Stirlingshire, near Glasgow.

Married. Lady Northcliffe, widow of Viscount Northcliffe, English newspaper proprietor, to Sir Robert Arundell Hudson, a leader of the Liberal Party. By her remarriage she forfeited part of her inheritance from Lord Northcliffe, who died on August 14 last. It was reported at the time of Lord Northcliffe's death that he wished Lady Northcliffe to marry Sir Robert. The attachment of the two is said to be of 15 years standing, and Lord Northcliffe often urged his wife to secure a divorce, which she refused to do for fear of scandal.

Married. Princess Yolanda of Italy to Count Calvi di Bergolo, at Rome.

Divorced. Jagat Jit Singh Bahadur, Maharajah of Kaparthala, by Anita Delgado, in Paris, presumably on the grounds of white civilization's objection to his harem. It is reported that the Maharanee, who is 35, Spanish and a professional dancer, will marry her 30-year-old stepson, the Maharajah's heir.

Died. Watson Bradley Dickerman, 77, former President of the New York Stock Exchange, in Manhattan. He retired in 1909 and devoted himself largely to breeding race horses. He is survived by his wife and a five-year-old son.

Died. George Edward Stanhope Molyneux Herbert, fifth Earl of Carnarvon, 56, at Cairo, Egypt, of blood poisoning and pneumonia.

Died. Abbas Hilmi Pasha, Grand Vizier of Turkey under Sultans Abdul Hamid and Mohamet V, in Vienna. In command of a division during the Balkan War in 1912, he tried to stop the panic among his men at Kirkkilisseh by having them shot down.
