Ney an idea OF the crowded condition of
the matrimonial calendar. Popular min
isters are working double time. and in
several of the fashionable churches
two. three. and four wedding parties
viii succeed one another during the
course of a single afternoon.
OF course this anxiety Of everybody
to get married before the end of the
month is due in measure TO the
superstition with regard to weddings
in May. But even the capacity of our
city churches has its limits, and the
result is, that despite the prejudices
which Hymen is supposed 10 entertain
against the most beautiful month of
the year. quite a long list of weddings
are set for the period between the end
of April and the beginning of June.
They may be regarded as the overflow
Of the Easter weddings.
