Two Marriages at Proximity.
= y :.
To Boycott June Weddings?

A clergyman in Belfast, Maine, re-
fuses to marry June couples. Think
of June without brides. If this min
listers precedent is generally followed
we should have to answer Mr.. LoWellS
famous cOnundrum. what is so rare
as day in June?' by replying, a
bride in June, which would be a sad
confession of the impoverishment Of
love. This learned divine has been
looking up statistics. and finds that
those who marry in June are apt to
be divorced in November, or earlier or
later. June brides evolve naturally
into grass widows. The minister says
that June brides are too young and
think of little except, like the dove
coming out in a brighter iris and
gayer plumage generally And the
young mans spring fancy turns too
lightly to thoughts of love. The June
marriage is nothing, says the pastor.
but the instinct of mating that we have
inherited from our ancestors of the
jungle. The brides to be of Belfast
are threatening a boycott, and are
even plotting the importation of q
minister who hOnors the ancient insti-
tuition of June weddings.
