the brides. There will be several in
teresting weddings the last OF the
month and in January. The marriage
of Miss Marjorie Northup and Sidney
Dean of st. Paul will take place, as you
know, Thursday, Dec. 20, in the Church
of the Redeemer Mrs. Northup and
her daughter have been in New York
for several weeks but they will return
shortly. Mr.. and Mrs. Northup have
taken the Phelps house, on Park avenue,
s as Mr.. and Mrs. E. J. Phelps and their
daughter will go to California next
{ week, and so the wedding will take !
place in the city and not at the Northup
country place at Minnetonka.
Miss Edith Knight has chosen
Wednesday, JAM 8, as the date for her
marriage to George K. Belden. The
wedding of Miss Katherine Wheaton
and Phillip B. Winston will not take
place until the last Of January and
Miss Mary B. BeldeH and Richard
Greene Fisher will also be married late
4 in January. ~
The greatest surprise Of the week was
the marriage of Mrs. Ann G. Semple and
Alonzo T. Rand. Of course everybody
: knew of the engagement of Mrs. Semple
and Mr.. Rand, for the announcement
had been made at dinner at the Mini
kahda club last fall and it was generally
known that the wedding would take
place in January. Mrs. Semple and
Mr.. Rand kept their own counsel and
not even their intimate friends knew
that they had charged their plans until
they heard that the wedding had taken
place. Mr.. and Mrs. Rand will return
from their wedding trip this week and
will be at home at Mrs. Rand's beauti-
full residence on West Franklin avenue.
It will be quite interesting to know
that one of the pretty debutantes just
after having had taste Of the pleas
ures and delights of a bud, will become
bride and probably before summer.
The formal announcement has not been
made as yet, but her parents will tell
their friends just as soon as the man OF
her choice, and it is whispered that his
home is in the SUNNY south, arrives IN
Minneapolis. Already numerous little
parties and entertainments have been
planned by the few who are in the
Secret and the debutante will have
things all her own way up to the day of
Iler wedding.
How much money do you think was
made by the charity ball? The women
who had charge of 1t cleared $4,000 for
the Home for Children and Aged
women Isn't that splendid! Every
;oody is still talking of the charming
appointments and arrangements for the
I ball and the committees have been con-
graduated again and again on its sue

SO much, as before,' exclaimed one de-

more brilliant and successful
Have you heard any whispers about
the vandalism at the big receptions
this fall9 At least people speak Of it
as vandalism, altho pilfering would be
a term more easily understood. It is
probably the same spirit that prompts
people to take silver, china or even cut
glass from hotels and restaurants that
forced some of the women. to 60 DELHI
erately up to the baskets and vases of
flowers, pull out few and walk away
smiling. One of the debutantes COM
planned bitterly that several of her
prettiest bouquets disappeared in this
fashion. Can you imagine why guest
would want to carry away any OF the
decorations with her without permits
sion?
And, by the way, what did the debu-
tantes do with all the flowers that
were sent to them? Seventy-fve or a
hundred bouquets would be more than
any girl could enjoy at once and more
than even an extraordinary house could
find room for. So after the debutante
receptions were over and the flowers
had greeted the pretty bud and been
enjoyed by everybody at the reception
they were sent to the hospitals to carry
a message from the girl who found time
even in the excitement of making he1
formal entrance into society to think OF
those who were not so fortunate as her
self. The family and friends who were
in trouble or sorrow were remembered
with flowers that had graced the debu
itante s first formal appearance, and sc
many people who were unable to be
present had a share in the pretty func
tion.
