Social Notes

June this year will be one of the
busiest and most brilliant months 500
cially that Fargo society has witnessed
for several seasons There are no less
than q dozen of Fargo's most popu-
lar and attractive young ladies who
have chosen a day in the month OF
roses for their nupitals. The fes-
tivities will begin late in May and a
great many people will put off their
annual fitting to the lakes until after
the wedding season. Society for the
past few weeks has been very quiet
as there have been other attractions and
those who claim to know predict that
after the coming week everyone will
be on the qui vive over the approach
ing nuptial season and the first Of the
many beautiful bridal showers and
luncheons will be announced. The list
of June weddings already number
twelve, the contracting parties being
from some of Fargo's most prominent
families and it is thought that there
viii be over half that many that will
come to the notice of the public later.
With the advent Of June will come too
the commencement season, which is
COuSlueTSu one OIL the WOSL joyous Ok
the year. The sweet girl graduate
will hold her place in the public eye
with the charming bride and she too
will receive her share Of social atten-
ton. June of all months of the year
is a favored month. Then all nature
is in full bloom still fragrant with
the spring showers Inc untouched by
the scorching heat of summer. June
has been eulogized by some of the
worlds most famous poets. Lowell has
has said, what is so rare as a day
in June? Then, if ever, come perfect
days. Then heaven tries the earth, If
il be in tune, and over it softly her
warm ear lays. Whether we look Or
whether w listen, we hear life MUIR
mer or see is glisten."
