Grant, of This City to Wed One of the Most Popular Belles of New York Younger Social Set Special to The Argus New York, Sept. 18 - Announcement was formally made yestereday by Mr. and Mrs. John D. Barrett, of 24 West Seventy-first street, this city, and at their summer home, "Belhaven" Greenwich, Conn., of the engagement of their daughter, Miss Alice Torndyke, to Mr. Louis Newton Grant, of Goldsboro, North Carolina. Miss Barrett is one of the most popular belles of the younger social set in New York, and, though a native of this city, is of Southern extraction, her grandparents having been native Georgians. Some two years ago Miss Barrett was a bridesmaid at a wedding in this city at which Mr. Grant was an usher, at which they met for the first time, and the friendship then formed between them has culminated in the engagement now announced. No date has been fixed, as yet, for the wedding, but will be shortly. ----- The Argus, in common with Mr. Grant's friends here - and they are all our people, for he is, and deservedly, universally esteemed in this city, his home, will be more than interested in this happy announcement, which will come in the nature of a surprise to many, and we all feel like extending our congratulations to the fair young bride-elect over her achievement, for we know the value of the spendid young man she has won, which, too, will be made known to her in the cordial welcome that awaits her in Goldsboro.
