BROOKLYN LIFE. 12 AN out-of-town wedding of Brooklyn interest will be that of Miss Lewia Castleman, of Louisville, sister of Mrs. Leonard Cox, whose husband was until recently stationed at the local Navy Yard, and Mr. H. Olin Wilson, of McDonough street.

The marriage will be solemnized on Monday, April twenty-ninth, and promises to be quite a social event in Louisville. Several of Mr. Wilson's Brooklyn friends will accompany him to assist at the wedding; also his sister, Miss Bessie Wilson. THE Werra, which was scheduled to sail last week, Saturday, but was detained owing to her delayed arrival from the other side, left port on Tuesday with a large complement of passengers. Among them, as noted in advance, were Miss Pauli and Miss Louise Pauli, of this borough, and Mr.

G. W. Rudkin and Dr. E. L.

Keyes. of Manhattan. Among the passengers sailing this week, Tuesday, on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse were Mrs. J. V.

Wilbur and Miss Anna M. Wilbur, of Flatbush, and Mr. Charles T. Dotter, junior, of Tompkins place. Sailing last week, Saturday, on the Pennsylvania, were Mrs.

William Ray, Miss Mabel Ray, Miss Edith Ray and Miss Helen Ray, of Grand avenue. MR. and Mrs. G. L.

Hoppenstedt, their two daughters. Miss Anita Hoppenstedt and Miss Rose Hoppenstedt. and their younger son, Master Edward H. Hoppenstedt, of 130 Joralemon street, expect to spend the summer abroad, sailing on the Koenigin Luise, May second. A PRETTY little affair of last week was the costume dance given by the Phi Beta Gamma Society at the home of Miss Suzanne Rumpf, 804 Jefferson avenue.

The house was very attractively decorated for the occasion, the drawing-room adorned with plants, while the conservatory leading out from this apartment was hung with fairy lamps furnishing an alluring retreat between the dances. Smilax and American Beauty roses were used in the dining-room, where supper was served about midnight. Miss Rumpf received in the costume of a Colonial maid and wore her hair powdered Among the other young women present were Miss Marion Brown, attired as a Spanish peasant; Miss Jean Robb, as a jockey; Miss Ida Bennett, as "America," in a costume made of a national flag; Miss Benner, as a Russian hussar; Miss Suzette Horton, Miss Adryenne Starett, Miss Minerva Vanderbilt, Miss Marie Ropes, Miss Todd, Miss Vera Bainbridge, Miss May Scudder, Miss Dellepierre and Miss Lavinia Sanford. The men did not appear in costume, but concealed their features behind masks. PATRIOTISM and charity form the two-fold object of a costume bazaar which the "Little Men and Women of '76" have arranged to hold at the Pouch Gallery on the afternoon of Saturday, April thirteenth, the proceeds of the sale to be divided between the Prison Ship Martyrs' Monument Fund and Friendless Children.

This little society is earning considerable sums of money for various charities. CARDS have been received for the wedding, in Indianapo-; lis, of Miss Helen Desha Kirtland, niece of Mrs. Albert W. Johnson, of Fort Hamilton, and Mr. Stuart Dean, of Indianapolis.

The ceremony will be performed on Tuesday evening next at Christ Church and will be followed by a reception at the residence of Mrs. N. J. Hammond. Both the bride and her sister, Miss Maude Kirtland, who are cousins of Mr.

Thomas L. Johnson. Mayor-elect of Cleveland, are well-known in Brooklyn, having frequently visited at Fort Hamilton, where they are great favorites. IN honor of Mrs. Franklin Whetstone Hopkins, Mrs.

Walter Burritt Moore will give a reception next Tuesday afternoon, from four until seven o'clock, at her residence. 149 South Oxford street. ON Thursday evening, April eighteenth, the final dance of the series arranged by a number of last year's class of Packer girls will be given at the Berkeley Assembly Rooms. The usual program will be varied by the introduction of a cotillon, which will be led by Mr. Frederick L.

Jahn, and a considerable surplus being left in the treasury, this money will be devoted to the purchase of favors. The third dance of the Perpetuum Mobile Club will be held at the Pouch Gallery next week, Friday evening. The early part of the evening will be devoted to a cotillon, led by Mr. Henry C. Jenkins, after which there will be general dancing.

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY'S Glee. Mandolin and Banjo Clubs received a warm welcome last week, Friday night, at the Pouch Gallery, where they gave a very enjoyable concert. There were four Brooklyn men in the clubs, Mr. G. S.

Parsons, leader of the Glee Club; Mr. Frederic Cromwell Seaman, Mr. C. G. Abbot and Mr.

A. W. Duckworth. All the numbers on the program were good, but the feature of the evening was a whistling solo, "Drifting," by Mollen-hauer. which was beautifully rendered by Mr.

Seaman. A a Japanese screen. Before each place was a lacquer tray and a Japanese napkin, while in the center stood an old Satsuma jar, filled with pink carnations. Candles of the same shade, in single candlesticks, four at each end, shed a pretty, subdued light over the scene. The menu was precisely like that at a tea or supper in Japan, commencing with one soup, followed by another, then fish, and after that innumerable dishes, deliciously cooked, but impossible to describe.

Much amusement was created by the eflforts to eat with chop-sticks, knives and forks being, of course, out of the question. During the repast a small Japanese, woman sat on the floor in an adjoining apartment, playing upon two remarkable looking instruments, from which emanated sounds more weird than melodious, but doubtless very beautiful to the accustomed ear. THE engagement has just been announced of Miss Made-laine Quaid, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Quaid, of Newburgh, N.

to Mr. William McKinley, junior, of 331 Gates avenue, Brooklyn. Mr. McKinley is an active member of the Crescent Athletic Club and also of the Powehon Golf Club. His fiancee, who is also a member of the latter, is a clever golfer and is well known in Newburgh society.

THIS is the favorite week at the out of town resorts, all of which are crowded. The majority of visitors will remain away until after Easter, and many will not even return in time to participate in the town gayeties following the close of Lent. Lakewood is thronged, and among the visitors are Mr. and Mrs. George P.

Stockwell, Mr. and Mrs. John Gibb, Mr. and Mrs. Vincent H.

Lamarche, Miss Belle McAnerney, Mr. and Mrs. Elliott Schenck, Mrs. J. V.

Meserole, Miss A. Meserole, Mr. and Mrs. W. H.

Crittenden, Miss Alice Crittenden, Mrs. A. W. Benson, Miss Benson, Mr. and Mrs.

Iselin, Mr. John Sloane. Miss Sloane. Mr. and Mrs.

H. A. Borrowe, Mr. and Mrs. Francis L.

Wellman. Mr. Bradley Martin, junior, and Mr. Sartell Prentice. ATLANTIC CITY was so crowded early this week that it seemed a question where the Easter throng could be accommodated.

H. E. Jones, Miss S. H. Morrison, Mrs.

Mr. George W. Shiebler. of Park Plaza, who has been ill for the past month with pleurisy, expects to go down to Atlantic City next week to recuperate. THE pretty little ballroom of the Germania Club was filled with a representative audience on Monday night to witness the performance of "Dandy Dick," given by the Amherst College Senior Dramatic Corps.

It is an amusing play and was well acted throughout, the feminine roles being in especially competent hands. Of the men's parts, the greatest interest attached itself to the portrayal of Major Tower by Mr. John Frank Phillips, of this borough. Mr. Phillips did good work, and his friends, who were out in force, applauded him enthusiastically.
