Party-Other Social Evsnts.
 Not for many New Haven seasons has there been such @ dearth of fash ionable weddings. Hymen evidently was not so busy during the long and dreary Lenten day, the love-lnden Eephyrs of early spring bearing tidings of but few smart nuptials. There are whispers ahoat, however, that the com- Ing days will bring one or two an nouncements of interest and import ance.
 Of the weddings "set" the Parsons Brush nuptials, down for May 1S-a home affair to be very quietly celebrat- ed-will be none the less attractive. Only the nearest friends will be bidden, all arrangements being of the simplest order. The bride-elect will be attended by her sister as honor maid, and MT. Parsons of New York, a relative of the groom, will act as best man. There will be no ushers.
 Also of note, to be celebrated later, is the marriage of Rev. MT, Beardsley, rector of St. Thomas church, and Miss Aletta Warwick.
