RICHMOND SOCIETY LIFE.
THE MULTIPLICITY OF HAPPY
WEDDINGS.

A shower OF Rice on Broadway-Miss Al
friends Musicais-Debutantss Of the
season - University misunderstanding
from Europe-Pcrsonai.
But for the multiplicity OF weddings this
season society would be sleeping profound
", but as II Is another week has been
stirred by several Of the happy occasions,
and more brides and grooms have been
turned in the Northern field Of tourists
Ilysiem. One and all. of the happy creatures
wisely engaged in hiding all apparent rea-
ons of their happiness. Distracted looks,
Indifferent mein, Indifferent manners, old
clothes, and every other arr Of deception is
employed to keep from the smiles
and significant looks which follow the dwell
lers in the sphere Of the honeymoon. There
was once q bOnny bride who sat beside her
uew-made lord and master. with such ali
sorption in a book, turned upside down,
that she was confident that none knew her
secret. She dropped a paper, leaned for
ward TO pick il up, and shower OF wedding
rice fell from around the brim Of her hat,
amid the roars Of laughter OF her fellow
passengers.
A cruel joker presented neatly-wrapped
umbrella TO q groom. Soon after the re-
cipient was upon Broadway with his bride,
when a little untimely shower came up,
and he raised his new umbrella. As he did
so, rice, like young snow-storm, enyeloped
the pair, while the passers-by and small
boys enjoyed the fun.
There has been for some time q "grass-
wdowers'" train. Why not a bridal train,
so they may all be in the same boat, as it
werei
