Brides.
Yesterday, the first day Of June
dawned clear and pleasant, and glo-
rious sun cast rays of hope and fair
promises over fully fifteen brides In
ST. Paul.
If omenS count-and every bride, nc
matter how famous she may be for heI
common sense and lack of notions, is
superstitiOus on her wedding day-the
numerous brides of yesterday, one and
all, have happy sunshiny lives before
them, for June was never blessed with
a more ideal day. There was q wedding
In almost every part of the city, and
even the old court house had it's share
of the festivities, for a couple from the
country some place strayed into the
city hall during the day and, after
duly receiving their license, were quiet
ly married in the building.
Some of the weddings took place in
the churches, and others were home
weddings. None were elaborate affairs
the June brides being very modest in
their wedding preparations.
Some of the brides wore their going
away gowns, but the majority were
gowned in simple white organdie OF
silk and one and all were disinclined
to tell their plans for a wedding trip
dreading the merry making of their
friends.

of flowers and plants. The windows
we're draped with smilax, and the
arches and doorways were adorned
with the same. Plants and blossoms
nearly all of pure white, were every
where, and the heavy fragrance of the
flowers, the darkened rooms with their
artificial lights, and the bride in heI
dainty gown of white organdie with
trimmings of lace and ribbons made
a scene as from some fairy tale
Rev. M. D. Shutter, of the Church
of the Redeemer, of Minneapolis, per-
formed the ceremony, the bridal party
standing in the large window in the
second room before a dainty screen
