One of the prettiest weddings Of

berry street, at two o'clock this aft
ernoon. Rev. A. F. Winter of the
German Lutheran church performed
the ceremony in the presence of
about fifty friends and relatives. The
ring ceremony was used, while a
pretty wedding march was being
played.
The rooms were tastily decorated
in southern smilaX, carnations of all
colors, roses and ferns. Here and
there a beautiful bank of palms gave
added color to the decorations. The
bride and bridegroom marched under
bower of green decorations, where
the ceremony was performed.

Need of Y. w. c. A.
There seems to be an urgent need
in Mankato at the present time for
Y. w. c. A. organization, and it
seems to be true that the thing
necessary is for some one interested
in the welfare of the girls of the city
to start the movement. That need is
perhaps not so urgent for the girls
whose homes are here, but it Is bad
ly needed by the girls from away
who are students here and the girls
who are working here. Those are the
girls who live in their one room and
spend all their time there unless
they are asked to go somewhere.
Where are they to meet their friends
and how are they to enjoy and
social life? @
There seems to be no organization
of any kind in the city which has as
it's aim the social, mental or physical
advancement of girls and young
women. If there are any study clubs
in the city or any night classes
their members have kept them won
derflilly quiet. Most OF the girls who
are students here or who are work.
ing here must, if they wish to spend
any leisure time out of their rooms,
frequent the public dances, the NOV
ing picture shows or the streets. 1t
happens all too frequently that these
hours are spent on the streets. Most
of those girls would be glad and
anxious to improve themselves dur
ing their leisure time if there was
pleasure connected with that i'm
provement, and no organization could
so we'll fill the need as Young
Women's Christian association.
Up to the present time all effort
along the line of improving the en-
vironment of the young people OF
Mankato has been done for the boys.
Not bit too much has been done or
