EVANSTON.
Judging from indications which are generally
supposed to be unmstakab]e, the matrimonial
fever promises to rage somewhat f1ercely during
the winter, and will tend to considerably en-
liven society matters in Evanston this season.
The number Of couples who have been ten
gased " the @ necessary @ length OF time for morc)
IS unusually large, but, unless other engage
ments are formed, will be considerably dcercas-
ed within month or Two. It is unnecessary as
yet TO mention names, but several of the we'd
dings will attract general attention because OF
the prominent social position Of the parties in
terested.
The first event in the series eliminated at
Nashville, Tenn, Tuesday, being the Marriage
Of Mr.. Leo II. Hamline, Of Evanston, and Miss
Ida Grigsby Nicholson, Of Nashville. The cerc~
mony was performed BY the Rev. George Beck

during the past year to the engagement of GER
tain youthful couple, but will Be surprised to
learn this morning that they were privately
married about three months ago, although the
