Alice Rohe in the New York World:
''It never rains but it pours," said the
girl from Kansas. This time the
christening cards. There ought to be
a law making wedding presents bad
form in the springtime, when every
body needs new clothes.
'SF'rancina de Sofa is so peevish she
says she is going to buy her wedding
presents a t the ten cent store and gath
er in some Tiffany boxes and place the
joyous wedding gifts therein. The folks
back home won't know the difference.
''Francina says every time she gets a
few dollars saved up for clothes some
of those childhood friends back in Wa
baunsee, out of pure orneriness, go and
get married. Francia had enough
saved up for q hat the other day
when invitations arrived announcing
the double wedding of the Smith twins.
OF course that knocked a hole in the
hat money. AS for a spring suit Fran
Gina says she has TO wear binders
every time she walks through Twenty
third street; it makes her so mad to
think of the clothes she can't get.
Il thought we were all through with
the matrimonial fever back in Wabaun-
see, but there's a new crop of spring
brides this year That isn't the worst
Last seasons crowd are all sending out
christening cards. so the outlook this
year for spring clothes is darker than it
ever was. It's a terrible feeling to have
spring in the air and no joyous clothes,
nothing but thank you notes for we'd
ding and christening presents.
Francfna is welded to her art and
she says the worst part Of this wedding
business is that she'll never get any re-
turns. It doesn't pay to be welded to
your art II you are looking for house
furnishings. Francina says if the thing
keeps up, though, she's simply going to
send out cards just the same and get
her studio fitted up. If she can't have
spring clothes she might as we'll get
something out of her expenditure.
IF people must get married why
can t they wait till everybody gets tn cir
spring clothes?"
