June, the month of ornngo blossoms nnd
wedding rings, Is approaching. In a little
while thero will be a run on tho marriage
mart that will beat tho records of all
other monthB of tho ear. This is tho
time that clerks in the marriage license
bureau dioop exhaustedly from the stren
uous demands made on them Ministers
grow palo and won nnd full cargoes of
newlyweds nro united dally northward on
the Honeymoon Express to Niagara Fallt)
It's Cupid's halcyon time.
Meanwhile, modistes are plying their
needles frenzledly In nn endeavor to maku
good their promise to havo the endless
numbers ot whlto eatlns, tullea and ba-
tlBtes ready In time for thn big ovent.
Already the shops havo mado every
thing subservient to the June bride and
her countless needs, nnd tho pocketbooK
of paterfamilias la getting flatter than
tho proverbial flounder, said to be tho
flattest of things.
By all tho laws of leasou and logic
the cost of marriage ought to be ono
of the greatest deterrents. But If love
laughs at locksmiths It goes Into posi
tive paroxysms of glee at minister's fees,
trousseaux, outlays and newly-wed house
keeping expenses.
Marriage expensive business? Non
sense. Two can live cheaper than one.
And all the sepulchral warnings of thoso
sophisticated beings who havo been
through the marriage mill mnko not tho
slightest Impression on the blissfully
happy pair over whom Cupid has cast
his fatal spell.
From tho cynical onlookers point of
view theirs may be only a romance of
Jitney calibre, but who could ever make
them believe It was not a high-speed,
eight-cylinder affair, made to run world
without end, amen?
With nu intention of tearing the veil
of rosy glamour too suddenly aBlde the
wvKMiwn i.edoer. because It knows that
every marriage, be It only an elopement to
some nearby Gretna Green, really does
cost something, will consider the expense
of matrimony In all at Its details.
What do trousseaux cost? What does
housekeeping cost? Wedding ceremonles7
Honeymoons? Wedding rings?
The answers are variable, of course.
Jt all depends on the taste and clrcum
stance lu life of the participants. A wed
ding may be an affair of such Inconsplcu
ouu simplicity as to fall way below the
hundred dollar mark. A trousseau may
consist of only a new suit supplemented
by refurbished garments of last year's
mode, and the bride may be none the less
happy. Two or threo days at a nearby
seaside resort may constitute tho honey
moon without love's young dream being
in the least shattered.
But, on the other hand, the ceremony
may be one of BUch pomp and splendor
that the expenses when totaled run high
Into the thousands. Bridesmaids, flower
girls, a brilliantly decorated church, hun
dreds of guests, a wedding breakfast, a
honeymoon on a private yacht or car, a
pretentious home afterward, these are the
things that cost.
In a series ot articles, girls who are to
be married economically and girls who
are to be married lavishly tell something
of what they have had to spend before
befog married, and what they figure upon
for the expenses of the)r future house
hold. In some cases father1 ts the minister
of the exchequer, but In many Instances
the girl has to form a little Ways and
Means Committee all by herself and
finance her own wedding
