JUNE is HERE!

So are roses. And SO are brides
and the fIutter of the things they
bring-tulle, ribbons, bows, all
entrancingly disturbing and hung
on every side with a million cues
tlons on whether this should be
this way or that should be that
way.
For what bride wants to 90 to
the altar, doubling that she has
done just the correct thing.
SO, in the first place, the little
bride, who would be correct, plans
a wedding 50 simple that it. will
come nicely within the limits of
her fathers income. For her faith
er must bear all Of the expense of
the event with the exception Of
hiring of the bridcgroom's CARR
age.
And she dispcnscs just this once,
with all jewelry however lovely her
selection is, with the exception of
perhaps a pearl necklace which is
the gift Of the future husband or
one CT the family, bodice pin
with colorless sets. The engage
ment ring, many brides give it to
the bridegroom, who will slip it on
her finger after the wedding ring
has been put on. At all events the
wedding ring should not be put on
in front of it, for that would neces-
state the removing Of the wedding
ring.

PROCEDURE
For the home Wedding the party
must be small, but the order of
the procedure is the same whether
the party be one of few or many
people. g-o
The flower girl, if there is one,
comes first, then the bridesmaids
IN pairs, the maid of honor alone
and then the bride on the arm of
her father or her nearest relative.
The bridegroom with his best
man should have entered from the
side and should be waiting at the
altar for the bride and her party.
The father waits to give the bride
away and then returns to his place
beside his wife. which will be in a
section near the front which has
been ribboned off for the families.
The bride should be at the right
of the bridegroom so that the mat
ter of slipping the wedding ring on
will not be difficult.
When the ceremony is over, if
the wedding is a home affair, the
bridal couple will turn toward the
guests and congratulations will be-
gin.

THE BOOUET

TIE bCEEOEl
The bridegroom buys the boquet
which his bride will carry, after
consulting her as to the fashion
which will look best with her gown.
The bride who does not desire a
provincial, bridey effect while
travelling will not choose a white
suit even in summer. 1t seems to
be the accepted thine that mater
ial Of good tone should be used
for that event
Her linen and undergarments
will be marked with her own mi
tials, not those of her fiance.
The wise girl who is receiving
wedding gifts and wants her
friends to know the pleasure she
feels at the moment of their recep-
ton, will not linger long with the
family and friends admiring her
collection" but will slip into some
quiet corner and on a bit of note
paper say the few words she de-
sires to the sender Immediately.
When the in-pour Of gifts becomes
too heavy, then she will jot them
down and as soon as possible write
her "thank you's".
DECORATIONS
If the wedding is to be church
event--she will plan a decoration
of only palms and cathedral can
dies, remembering that is it bad
taste to lavishly decorate sacred
edifice

Flashes From

can for the first time on St. Patrick's

ms entry into the role Of spectator

newspapers made much I'VE the pres
ence of twenty women among, the
1000 seat holders. One of these
women was Ftzsimmons, wife who
sat just behind her husbands seconds
and encouraged him on to victory.
The Australian weighed only 1877
pounds. while Corbett entered the
ring at 1873. The champion f1oored
the foreigner in the sixth round, but
lacked the finishing punch.
In the final round Fitzsimmons
sprang from his corner furiously and
planted his right glove over Corbett's
heart. The champion staggered from
the blow and. Fitzsimmons tore into
him with crashing rights and lefts to
the stomach that brought the battle
to a close. IN 49,
A large crowd of fans who favored
the Australian leaped into the ring to
greet him, seeking to grasp his mitt.
Corbett, opening his eyes. famed with
anger. He charged through the
circle of admirers and the two fight
ers were locked in a vicious clinch.
Outsiders had to jump in and separ-
ate them.

HEAVYWEIGHT BOXERS
at TRAINING CAMP

Manhasset, N. Y. June Georges
Carpenter is well aware of the fact
that he will enter the ring on July 2
several pounds lighter than Dempsey,
the champion. but he doesn't worry
about it.
He has demonstrated to his own
satisfaction in sparring with Joe Jean
nette and Paul J%ournee. that he can
dr"n a heavy man with ease d.
/. Jeanette. who tipped the scales at
gao pounds, went down Monday after
moor under the c~hallenger's over
handed right. and .Journee at 200
pounds. topples easily when Georges
right connects.
1t is believed by his trainers that
Carpenter has developed his knock
out punch to a point of perfection.
And nov When the barn doors are
locked. Georges is ~perfecting his de-
Tense. He probably will wage a whirl-
wind offensive against Dempsey and
his trainers realize that, to make it
effective he must be wary of the
champions left.
Georges is in the air when deliver
ing the short right over handed blow,
and he is working for a speedy re-
,covery. knowing it to be dangerous
business to be caught off balance.
