Marriages of Interest to Society.
The marriage of Miss Emma Ingram
to Mr.. John Thomas Watkins of Wash
ington, D. c., will take place Tuesday
evening, July y, at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. John Heard Hunter, on Gas
ton street, east. Rev. DR.. James Y.
FAIR will officiate. The ceremony will
be a quiet one. only the relatives and
most intimate friends being present.
Weddings in July. which are usually
events of rather infrequent occurrence,
will be this year rather the rule than
the exception, and within the first two
weeks of the month several of impor-
lance to society will be recorded.
There seems, upon looking up the mat
ter to be no very we'll founded tradi-
ton against July as a month for mar
rying, but June and August are gener-
ally more in favor with the summer
bride. For the change of sentiment this
year, society, which is now in its quiet
est season, will congratulate itself and
find matter for pleasant anticipation.
Almost all are, however, 10 be quiet
events, celebrated at home, with few
attendants, and with no reception. In
addition to those already formally an
nounced. several others are rumored
as events of the very near future. Two
of these, one am engagement of recent
date and the other OF longer standing,
will, it is understood. take place in
July, and will probably be church we'd
dings, although the dates have not yet
been named. Still third has been an
nounced to intimate friends, but not
yet formally made public.
The first summer wedding to inter-
est society generally will probably be
that of Miss Anne Butler and Mr.. Saw
age Lyman. Miss Butler, who is a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert NJ.
Butler, is one of the very attractive
girls in the younger set. Mr.. Lyman
