SEVERAL SWELL WEDDINGS ANNOUNCED
June sustninr Its Reputation and
Proves 10 he the Month for
Marrying and Giving
I'm Marriage.

The second week In June has rather added
70 the reputation Of the month OF roses as
q popular time FOR adventures.
There have been n number of weddings of
interest to 0mahans, and a number of them
have taken place at the homes of the brides
out of Omaha. The city will welcome more
new brides to its circles during the exposi-
ton year than for a dong time past.
Probably the most notable weddings of
the week, so far as local society is concerned,
were those OF Miss Scandrett to MIR. Russell
Burt and of Miss Sadie Bowen to Rev.
Charles Young. The former occurred at
Faribault, Mimi, and was attended by a
swell party from Omaha, for whom a spe-
cial train of five handsome cars was run.
The other wedding, while not so elaborate,
brought out one OF the largest congregations
of Omaha fashionable folk that has been
seen at a wedding in a long while. To ac-
c%entuate the fact hat June Is a month for
marrying and giving In marriage a number
of other Omahans have announced their
weddings for the remaining days Of the
month. The announcement of the early mar
riage of Miss Althaus and Mir. James L.
Dewar is something Of a surprise, but the
many friends Of both are bound to heartily
congratulate each of the well known young
folks. The wedding of Miss Julia Alice
Warner to Mr.. Charles G. Rosewater will
take place at jamestown, N. Y, on Wednes-
day Of this week, and Will be the means
of bringing another charming young bride
to the exposition city.
A practical, though perhaps cruel, joke
was recently played on a society man in q
nearby city. It's moral Is so good and SO
broad that the little story may be told here
with advantage. A stag dinner had been
niynn nv n yDttnu r,nn IN a half lnuan nf
his friends, and all adjourned at 0 O'Clock
to enjoy a dancing party given in the name
of charity at a neighboring hall. Before
leaving the table, one Of the guests picked
up a little clay pipe, which lay beside his
plate as a souvenir, and, after smoking 1t
for a brief while, knocked out the ashes
and stuck the dainty thing in his buttonhole.
The others were caught with the fancy, and
promptly did the same. They wore their
dinner souvenirs to the dance, little mean
ing to start a custom thereby.
They had scarcely stepped on the floor
when one young man, who prided himself
on being thoroughly up-to-date, ran up to
one of the banqueters and looked askance al
the pipe. He was solemnly informed thai
it was really the very latest thing to wear
pipes instead of roses or carnations in the
buttonhole, and that q fellow who sported
the latter was at least a season behind the
times. The up-to-date young man waited
for nothing more, but excused himself and
hurried out to buy a pipe and get in line
He purchased the first clay pipe he could
find, and rushed back to prevent his little
errand from becoming noticeable. He was
not soon enough to prevent the circulation
of the story about the room, however, and
when he returned 1t was the most peculiar
reception he had ever encountered. Each
girl looked at him with one of those funny
faraway gazes while the men laughed In
their sleeves every time they caught sigh
of the young man, who danced around with
the extra pipe in his buttonhole, self salts
fled that once again he was right.
The National Dancing Masters association
in session at Detroit, last week, approved
these new dances: Dewey Two-Step," r
