GAIETY IN LONDON AND PARIS.
London, October J 2.— London and Paris, in the meantime, are once more full of returned exiles, and the car of matrimony and other social joys runs fast and furious in the crowds of weddings which have just taken place in England. The page in all kinds of pretty costumes and both sexes has been the chief figure. At the marriage of Lady Alice Nevill the youngest brother and sister were resplendent in violet velvet. Miss Holland's dress, when marrying John Dyson, the eminent Anglo-Indian, was borne by the nephew in purple velvet, and Master Peter Brassey, son of the great millionaire lady who writes about voyages on a sunbeam, officiated at the wedding of Miss Evetts with Captain Wilde of the Sixteenth Lancers in a costume of white satin slashed with deep red velvet, and stockings of the same hue. The chief impending marriage is that of the daughter of Worth with Taylor Delbarke, a millionaire, who has a palace in the Bois de Boulogne, and a famous art collection. The newspapers are giving a long catalogue of the wealthy Parisian tradesmen, and declare the sceptre of the day is the needle, and the millionaires are tailors, dressmakers and milliners.
