WEDDINiS OF THE WEEK
June Maintains Her Reputation as
the Month for Brides.
The Romance of Miss Perkins and
riages in Local Circles.

Apart from weddings there has been
little OF social interest to chronicle dur
ing the week. June, SO far, has impaired
her record az month of rare days, but
she steadily maintains her reputation for
brides. There has been SO many, here and
elsewhere, that one must believe Cupid
has been working like galley slave, for
no telling how long beforehand, to bring
his multifarious romances TO climax
during tie period that Hymen seems es-
pecially to have adopted as his own
As conveyed by the time honored valen
rose fleshed, dimpled piece of irresponsible
mischief, who lets fly his arrow in the
impish spirit of q street boy who aims at
sparrows with his bean shooter, regard
less Of consequences, hit or miss Can his
be another case OF not being what he
seems? There is a good bit of solid
wisdom in that old saw about seeing is be-
lieving- and when one remembers that ali
the cities in all the world, as well as the
Highways and byways Of life are built
upon happy homes, whosefoundationsw were
laid by Dan Cupid, one must admit that
allowing for the evils all flesh is heir to-
he makes too few mistakes to be longer
accused of blindly winging his shafts, and
leaving his results, lottery like, to turn out
prizes or blanks.

Cleveland were total abstainers, one and

Mrs. Grant. il is also said, was the first
wife Of Chief Executive who everobjected
to wine in the White House. Mrs Mckinley
is a total abstainer.
These first ladies' are simply American
women, so many pegs higher in the social
