Cupid. that past master in the art OF
sharp shooting, has been singing his
darts into susceptible hearts with reck-
less prodigality during the past sum-
mer. His favorite hunting grou nd is
under shady trees and by babbling
brooks, though all seasons are his. A
delightful old dowager, who enjoys an
enviable reputation as a matchmaker,
mods her snowy head slowly, and with a
smile that would make her fortune as a
| diplomat says: "What is the greatest
factor in the production of these au-
tumn weddings? Why, propinQuity,
my dear"
Be that as it may, the wedding crop Is
wondrous large just at present in this
city. The chubby little god has been
most prankish, and his shafts seem to
have been particularly fatal, or at least
as fatal as they ever arc. June and
! October are far and away the most de-
sirable months for weddings, and the
social machinery is now moving. The
| following are some Of the lucky
Wednesday weddings:
