Famous Building In New York Is Rich
 In History
By Associated Pres.

New York, November 27-Pursuant to an act of Congress, which provides for the abolition of the various subtreas- uries scattered throughout the country. the United States subtreasury in this city Will cease to exist at the end of the year and its functions and powers will be added to those already delegated to the local federal reserve bank
 Many of the employees of the subtreas- ury, now numbering less than 100 will be taken over by the federal reserve bank, which will occupy the treasury building until it's own new home in this city is completed and other employees maybe go into the customs service.
 The local subtreasury, for generations an integral part of the financial history of the government, occupies a commando ing position in the heart of the financial district and is on the site of the seat of the Federal Congress where George Washington took the oath of office as first President of the United States. Its Grecian facade and broad approach have been the scenes of some of the most important and interesting events in
 the annals of this citys and country. From it's steps, standing in the shadow of the bronze statue of the Father of His Country, have spoken some of the

JUNE FIGURES AS
 WEDDING MONTH

The newspaper man figures on having a rush of weddings to report in June. In many cities the re- porters are kept hustling with the various nuptia1 ceremonies. They find their stock of adjectives in a most shopworn condition by the time the month is over. The philosophical reporter asks why this sudden fever for matrimony at this particular time of year?
 The only explanation The Times has ever heard offered, was that in most places June is the most favor able time to secure floral decorations.
 In these times when costs are high, many brides get married in the most simple way, and cut out all the frills and feathers. This is line of policy heartily approved of by most bride grooms and fathers-in-law. But there is a doubt if the bride is ever quite satisfied with it.
 The wedding day is really no more momentous to her than to the bride groom. But women have a keener eye for the inner signifcances or things. They see the poetry adding to the event a glory not fully per ceived by prosaic man. who is think ing mostly of his new responsibilities and how he is going to raise the money for carpets and furniture.
 The bride, her eyes fixed on the misty future and the romance of the event. wants the true emphasis given to the event.~ Every bride thus longs
