June, the month of roses and weddings.
has come again, and evidently it will re-
ceive its full share OF both. Jersey City
which events would be especially delight
full were it not for the fact that through
them society loses many of its favorites,
who have to follow their lords to other
regions.
1t would be hard to tell which wedding
of the past week was the most enjoyable
or which bride was the most lovely, but
it is safe to say that they all were charm
ing. The first wedding of the week was
that of Elmer S. Forbes and Miss Sallie
Flemming, on Tuesday, at the home of
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. James Flem-
ming, No. SO Grand street. The cere-
mony was at eleven o'clock, this hour
a recent death in the brides family, was
a quiet one. Although O morning we'd
ding, the floral display was profuse and
beautiful. The bride wore a gown OF
white silk, and what rarely happens, her
mothers bridal veil, an elegant one of
point lace. Only relatives of the bride
and bridegroom were present.
Another quiet wedding on the same
dav. Tuesday, WAS that OF Montague
Keller and Miss Jeanette McIlvaid.
This was celebrated at the brides home
on Randolph avenue in the evening and
was g. pleasant but not a large affair."
TWO BRILLIANT AFFAIRS
On Wednesday there were two we'd
dings, both brilliant and largely attended.
Fortunately one was in the afternoon and
the other in the evening. The first we'd
ding was that of Frank S. Richardson, of
North Adams, Mass, and Mrs. Alice r.
Bonnell. The event was celebrated at
IF l4a f1r5d al
Rudderow. No. 95 Summit avenue. The
Rev. e. l.. Stoddard officiated The
handsome residence was a profusion of
lovely flowers, most artisticalIy arranged,
and at one end of the parlors was formed
an altar, before which the bride and
bridegroom stood during the ceremony.
There were no bridesmaids. The bride,
who is young widow, is a rarely hand
some woman, and has enjoyed great
popularity in Jersey City society. That
she will now leave this city to
reside elsewhere is matter
Of much regret to her numerous
friends Among the guests were mo-
