The Saint Paul globe., 1904-06-05


difficult for society to talk of anything
but the weather. The lowering skies
and steady pour of the rain have been
enough to dampen the ardor of even
the bravest of society's devotees, but
in spite of all adverse conditions, the
1uncheons and dinners have gone stead
1ly on. The Country club has been
well patronized, but it loses half of its
charm with such weather as we have
had lately. Perhaps the greatest suf-
ferer among the brides, was Miss Carol
Moves, now Mrs. Brown, who had so
many friends here from the East, and
naturally wanted them to see st. Paul
under pleasing circumstances, but they
managed to have good time despite
the weather and depart with a good
impression of Western hospitality. The
last fairly pleasant evening before the
bad weather was the one upon which
Miss Mead became Mrs. Sanford. To
many the idea of a wedding without
bridesmaids is not acceptable, but the
Sanford wedding was exceedingly pref
ty and the idea of having nothing to
distract attention from the bride, prov
ed very successful.
