n u. EARIS are rampant ILLS Ihohch
- for st. Valentine has placed it
Il n under special care Of gay Dan
Cupid. So all the holiday greens and
holly have given place to festoons OF
red hearts to entangle the unwary.
Valentine day is not celebrated with
half the formal ceremony that used to
distinguish it when ardent SWANS sent
to the maidens of their choice dainty
anonymous gifts of lace or jewe1ry, ac-
companied by the rhymes they had
laboriously composed. -
Several Minneapolis people have
among their heirloo1ns some of these old
love missives and very quaint and in
teresting they are with their lace paper
borders, their old-fashioned senti-
mental pictures and, most important OF
all, the verses written in the running
hand of the day. The present valentine
with its garisk pictures and its verses
borrowed from some book Of quotations
will never be as interesting for even
time will not soften it's gaudiness nor
give it the touch of personal sentiment
that the old missive still breathes.
It is very appropriate that SO many of
the interesting weddings will fall with
in the month. Mr.. and Mrs. James
l.. McCulloch sent out the invitations
yesterday for the marriage of their
daughter Marian to Or. John B.
Mcguire of Lexington, Ky, which will
take place Wednesday evening, Feb. 81,
at the McCulloch home on Bryant
avenue S. Only the family and group
of near. friends have been hidden, but
the wedding will be solemnized amidst
the most charming Of appointments,
you may be sure.
Tomorrow DR.. and Mrs. Charles A.
Wheaton of St. Paul will issue the in
vitations for the marriage of their
daughter Katherine to Philip Bickerton
Winston, which will take place Tues
day afternoon, Feb. 81, in the Church
of St. John the Evangelist, st. Paul.
As Miss Wheaton has chosen Shrove
Tuesday as the day Of her marriage, it
will be the last brilliant wedding be-
fore Ash Wednesday ushers in Lent.
What delightful college affair the
Fernald- Stanford and the Bissell-Stan-
ford wedding will be. Almost the en-
tire university, president, professors,
seniors and juniors, etc, are interested
in it, for the young people have been
students at the university and belong to
prominent fraternities. The Misses
Stanford are both Kappa Alpha Theta
girls and they have chosen their maids
. of honor from among their sorority
sisters. Miss Clara Tanning is to be
Miss Blanche s maid of honor and Miss
Nellie is to be attended by Miss Nettie
Kellie. Robert Fernald will be his
brother best man and DR.. Bissell will
be attended by Edward Sanford. Mr..
Fernald has asked three of his fratern-
ity chums from Phi Gamma DETAINED
Starrett, Thomas Kelly and DR.. Cham
bers--to act as ushers, and the other
three ushers will be classmates Of DR..
Bisseu and the members of the Beta
Theta Pi-Clarence Barnum, Percy
Saunders and Robert Reyes.
! Tuesday evening DR.. Bissen and Mr..
Ferna1d will entertain at bachelor s
dinner, at which the best man and the
ushers will be the guests.
The wedding trip plans Of the young
people are profound secret, for there
is but little doubt that the college asso,
ciates of the brides and bridegrooms
are anticipating an opportunity to play
pranks and jokes on them before they
1e5ve town. It is we'll understood, how
ever, that every trace of Mr.. and Mrs
Bisse1 and Mr.. and Mrs. Fernald, after
The ceremony will be so securely covered
that the mischievous young people will
require the wits Of a Sherlock Holmes
to discover their whereabouts.
