 The coming week will be much like the past In it's college dances and its teas and luncheons for visitors, with the usual club teas. Several smart weddings will make the final days of June all that the month of brides and roses should be. And after these affairs many will join the vacationists in every quarter. Our people rarely scatter to the chosen summer re- sorts until July, for June has gained a fair reputation for comfort and plans for departures occupy most of It's spare moments. Many have decided. however, to remain at home until autumn, plan which meets with general approval.
