: seems that Iiasbrouck Institute has beer
most fortunate in the matter of the
weather. Just escaping, as it did, the
heat of last week, it was scarcely reason
able to expect that it would also escape
the storm which threatened this weeks
enjoyment. Yet such was the case, even
to Thursday, when the graduates had be-
gun to worry lest the storm should lass
into the evening, the sky cleared most
beautifully leaving the night perfect for
graduating exercises, neither toos hot or
too cool. 1t seemed almost as though tho
storm had been sent for that very pur-
pose. And then again last night were
these graduates most fortunate. 1t was

not as many out-of4door strollers during
intermission as usual.

should be a place provided as in the
theatres. where she may remove her bon

$uf if Hasbrouck institute was for
Anate in its selection of the weather,
mot SO with this weeks brides, for
scarcely could a hotter day than last
Wednesday be found. This fact was
scarcely perceptible. however. at the
wedding of Miss Ida Lembec to DR..
Horace Bowen at high noon on that day.
SO cool and refreshing was the effect of
the decorations. These consisted of white
and pink roses with smilax, one room
being entirely in white and the other in
pink.
The Doctor and his bride will return in
about two weeks, when they viii reside
in the handsome house on Sip avenue
and the Boulevard, which was a present
from the brides father, Mr.. Henry Lem
beck.
Speaking of brides, there seems to be a
decided falling off in the number of June
weddings this year from that of last. On
the fourteenth of June last year there
were at least ten weddings, several of
which were of special social note, While
this year passed with but two large we'd
Ad;ngs on June IA, that of Miss Lembeck
and Miss McArdle, with no large we'd
dings booked for the remainder of the
month

School commandments, which tend to
place it on a higher scale. These are In
