II ests and they are divided between
brides and bridge. Not even
these bright spring days diminish tho
ardor of the bridge devotees; they
simply move their card tables from the
drawing room to the verandah and keep
Eon playing. While it is true that the
lbrides are not being entertained as
Extensively as last year when there
lwere two or three affairs for every day,
still the friends of the popular girl do
knot allow her to marry without some
pre-nuptial parties. So showers, trous-
seauS and presents rather monopolize
Fconversation.

a most delightfully."- practical form. One
[of the pretty June brides has already
FIGURING car in which she and her bride
Fgroom will whirl away for a long auto

Anarried an, out-of-town man has re-
Iurned from her honeymoon, and when
Eshe reached her home she found Il
Esmart turnout, horse, cart, silver
amounted harness, saddle, everything
Ecomplete for riding or driving, the gift
Eof one of the bridegroom s friends.
E8ut the best of all was given to a
Eyoung couple who were married last
ksive manufacturing interests and on the
ebay OF the wedding he took his son-in-
Flaw into partnership, while to his
kdaughter he gave $1,000 worth of stock
ian tho factory, surely enough to smooth
1.-THE way of any young couple.
