.TAsTER, with all its joyous promise,
) is here, and now that Lent has
- dragged it's weary length away,
what is going to happenY Not very
much, to judge from the plans people
are making, for society seems to be
about to slip away to country and lake
homes as early as possible. The season
shorter. There was a time when an after
Easter period of gaiety was expected
:. as much as the fall season, but now the
large. brilliant social affairs are all
crowded into few weeks in November.
However, we still have something to
look forward to, for altho there have
not been many brilliant weddings this
spring, May and June promise several
of unusual social interest. To be sure,
they will all come at once, but that is
better than not coming at all, and there
= will not be much in the way Of prenup-
tial gaiety, for the June brides solemn
" declare that they will not accept the
MANY attentions their friends would
shower on them. 1t is earl y to speak
of that, and the pretty June brides have
time to change their minds more than
once. But it is true that the pendulumt
is swinging back, and the bride who is
thoroly up to date will no longer accept
more Invitations thatn there are days
in the week.
Miss Bertha Hudson, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. J. B. Hudson, has set the date
for her marriage to Archie D. Walker,
for Thursday. June 7. The wedding will
take place in the evening in Westminster
church, and owing to the social promi-
nence of the young people and their
= families, will undoubtedly be the smart
est Of all the June weddings. Miss Hud-
son is one of the Wells college girls and.
great favorite in the younger set.
F. Mr.. Walker is the youngest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. T. B. Walker and the last
to marry. The Walker boys have al
ways been popular and have taken a
prominent part in athletics and all
sorts of doings at home and abroad.
= They have given Mr.. and Mrs. Walker
charming daughters-in-law, young wo-
men who are leaders in society. Not allof
their time, however, is devoted to pleas
rre, for each finds place for some educa-
tional and charitable work. Mrs. Gil
bert Walker was formerly Miss Sue
Rogers. Mrs. Fletcher Walker, as Miss
Evelyn Sammis was we'll known as a
talented musician and before her mar
riage was often heard at musical af-
fairs. Mrs. Willis Walker and Mrs.
Clinton Walker were the Misses Alma
and Delal Brooks, and two of a trio of
handsome sisters, of which Mrs. George
Harrison is the third.
Plans for the marriage of Miss Kath-
crime Modisette, daughter Of Mr.. and
: Mrs. J. A. Modisette, and Edwin Dodge
have not been fully made, but the we'd
and June 20. Mr.. Dodge is a Mime
apolis man, so society will not be
robbed of one Of its charming members.
When Miss Irene Ford comes to Min
neapolis as the bride of George L. Gil
lette next June it will not be as a
- stranger. Miss Ford has spent much of
her time here, and while she attended
the Central high school she made her
home with her sister, Mrs. H. L. Will
kins, of Emerson avenue S. She has
the delightful summer house parties
given during the college vacations in
Minneapolis she was guest. Her mar
rage to Mr.. Gillette will take place
: Wednesday, June 20, at the home of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Ford, at
Vaudeville, N. Y. Miss Grace Gil
lette will be the maid Of honor, and
Ralph Gillette will be his brother g
best man. Mr.. and Mrs. L. s. Gillette
and family. the George N: Gillettes and
DR.. and Mrs: H. L: Wilkins will be
go down for the wedding.
. Mr.. and Mrs. w. M. Kellie will issue
Invitations Tuesday for the marriage of
their daughter, Nettie, to CYRUS P,
.Barnum, which will take place Wednes-
day, May 2, at their residence, 24OS
Humboldt avenue s. Rather a pretty
sentiment is connected with the com
ing marriage of Miss Kellie and Mr..
