The undisputed fact that Massachusetts.
, affords abiding places for eighteen thousapI
, anxious and aimless ones has led to the Ia.
lief that, as State, it is the particular resor,
and chief sanctuary Of old maids This mag
| be true, but the idea in no way pertains to
Boston. The Hubites, to woman, ars
largely inclined to marrying md to be given
IN marriage Just now the wedding season
is in full blast, and city officials, parsons
editors and reporters are kept as busy As
bees in summer time. If we are to credit
the statistics as announced from week H.
week by the city papers, there was never q
greater desire for matrimonial bliss than NJ
present exists at the Hub. In one particular
locality known as Union Park, there has
lately been such 4 rush for happiness that
1t has won for itself the appellation of ''the
Banner Ward Along the sides of this beau
tlul park, the most costly and elegant man
slons point their stored heights heavenward
and the residents thereof, as might naturally
be supposed, are they who are fed in the
lap OF luxury" or 'born with silver spoon
in their mouths Beneath some OF these
no less than twelve fair and fashionable
brides have, within a few short weeks launch
ed their harques upon the matrimonial WA
tiers The effect has been electrical. And a
residence Ill Mon Park is now the much
sought after commodity by all anxious papas
and manoeuvering mothers, who have q

favored region has advanced within thp
month, 20 per cent in value This may be-
putting rather high figure on facts, but as
to the anxiety OF Boston's lovely bellies to hr
1lgurlng III some OF these festive occasions
there is no manner OF doubt. OF course there
IS much OF duty in this desire, for the good

Inc last happy event took place this week
when certain Mr.. Dupec of New York be.
came the posSessor of very charming
Fowle-daughter Of a well known clothing
dealer OF this city. The wedding, though
toWie by name was not 50 by nature and
1t is pleasant to know that the us,lsal amount
OF beauty, wealth, fashion, white silks. tulle
point lace, orange blossoms, floral decor7l-
tons and happiness, was represented on thi,
occasion. 1t is of no use to elaborate Tn,
descriptions OF all weddings are alike Nc

The last union Of slowing hearts and

ceremony took place in the Shawmut Church
