Bride Changes Her Mind
NEW .Yt ill IC, May 10
Tile prerogative assumed by young American heiiesxos of changing their matrim. nial plans at tile last moment at the expense of Ihoir finances was dramatically exercised yesterday b.v .Miss Churl: tte D.'increst, daughter of a wealthy Now York family. At the moment v.hen she should have been attiring herself tor her wedding with Mr (!dirge Button, a well-known amateur artist, and when tlie wedding guests were preparing to enter the special trains to take them to Elber- „•>, \ew delsev, where tlie ceremony was to have been performed, the fair bride left her mother’s house. She proceeded to the municipal buildings in New York and married a young Hungarian nobleman. Count /ficily ol Zich and Vasonykeo. The hour of the official ceremony was drawing near when the bride returned to her mother, produced the count-, and announced the marriage. Having exploded this bombshell, the young bride and her husband withdrew, and have since disappeared. When the news reached Mr Burton he was engaged with the best man and the bridesmaids in a final full-dress rehearsal of his wedding. Friends relate that he took the blow in a “sporting spirit” though at first he refused to believe th ( . story.
M iss Dome rest's wedding to Count Zichy, marks the eml of a long fight- for her hand, between County Zichy and Mr Burton. After lier engagement to Mr Burton was announced Count Zichy was undismayed and i;edoul>led his wooing. Mr Burton thereupon abandoned his bachelor flat and took up a strategic position at the Hotel Ambassador, almost- opposite his fiancee’s home. A fortnight ago Miss Demorest returned from a visit to England and the date of her wedding with Mr Burton was announced immediately afterwards. On Monday she received a visit from Count Ziehy, and yesterday married. Thus she followed the example of her sister, who broke an engagement with Mr Jack Leisham, son of the then American Amnssador at Borne, to marry Lord Alistair Leveson-Gower. Count Zichy’s mother was formerly Miss Mabel Wright, a well-known New York beauty. ■
