Tlio Vfck Ju t past broke sll records hith
erto furnished by matrimonial event * In
Omaha. Oilier weeks bavo done well In
beginning the wedded bliss of a reasonable
number of fortunate eailplcu , but thla present
June la ushered In by A rush of weddings
which almost attains the magnitude of an
epidemic. All concerned have been kept
busy-tho ccunty Judge anil his assistants ,
who Issue the nece 6iy license , tbo ofuclal-

interested In the ox cut than anybody elso.
11 lua Indeed been a fruitful week In the reign
of Hymen , the limits of whose sway have
been notably extended during tlio pnat seven
djs.
The newly wed have been from tlmo Im
memorial the butt of Jests founded on their
lately assumed relations , moro or ICES coarse
us the mind of the Jc-ster may dictate. Just
what thtro Is In the experiences of the honey
moon to excite the prurient curiosity of the
outsider In not quite clear.
At that tlmo , If ever , the turtle dovea should
coo In solitude undisturbed by vulgar In
trusion. If left to themselves , though they
may not wholly succeed In convincing all
buholduis , by their blase and Indifferent do-
mianor , that marriage la no recent thing
with them , at least they will be free to cher
ish the harnilcfls delusion that they are BO
deceiving their fellow men , and In their un
alloyed ImpIr.cES will never notice the cu
rious glances of that kindly world which al-
nvajs hives a lover.
The nacillefilotis humorist ta bad enough ,
but the puictlcal Joker , sulllclcntly repre
hensible at all times , becomes a foul blot
upon Immunity on the occasion of n wrddlng ,
to remove whom violently from the scene of
his self-chosen activity would be emphati
cally to do Ood's service. Consider for a mo-
nmnt his heinous offense. The young people
are safely ir.urrled , to the satisfaction of the
law and church , nnd aio at the station. They
have Hhnkon the loose rice out of their outer
clothing and are trying to get used to the
few hamlfula of that cereal which has found
their uny down tho'backs of their necks
and which must stay tlieie until night. They
aru accompanied by n ehrleklngly hilarious
crowd of friend , but they figure to thcm-
Belvcs that quiet and seclusion Is waiting for
them on board the train. As they walk
sturdily toward the Pullman car , they pass
a baggage truck , and on It they espy their
trunks not plain nnd unornamented ns they
ivouM f.iln have them , but decorated with
rosettes and flaunting streamers of white
ribbon which are fastened for all time to
the suiface with nails which never loose their
hold.

Tlio graceful and delicate wedding Joker
has been there , and his merry laugh Is heard
us lie contemplates the fruits of his labors.
IIIH hand Is further displayed In the Interior
of the car , where a grinning porter waits , and
with profubo obclsancPB ushers the shrink
ing couple clown the Interminable aisle to a
elite room ostentatiously decked as a brida
chamber.
Away go their fond and foolish hopes of
bo'iiivlrts like nn rtl mauied pair Then ,

If the gay humorist has done his worl
thoroughly similar scenes are enacted at the
hotels where they stop throughout their
bridal tour ; and there Is always the tell
tule tiunk. tuinlng up at awkward mo
moits to disturb their equanimity and wav

attempts to appear at ease.
Under thcso circumstances , a honeymoon
instead of being a period of bliss , become
a term of excruciating misery , its expert
cuccs. how aver , do not necessarily tend to
alienate the affections of husband or wife
the one trom tha other , or to destroy the
confidence of cither in the Innate decency
of munKind ; but It Is moro than an even
chance that the practical Joker will find a
chilly welcome when he next Invades tbi

Although a great many people already
know , approve and actively assist the loca
charity known na the Flow or Mission , there
are In the community hundreds of persons
full of benevolent instincts and amply able
to lend aid to so worthy an object , who
cither have never heard of this modest In
etltutlon , or are waiting some special Invlta
tlon to associate themselves with It.
The Emma Flower Mission was organize !
Boveral jears ago. In loving memory of a
young girl who passed out of mortal sigh
Just as bho stood within
the open door of a
gracious womanhood , nnd whoso character
was as sweet as the flowers aho loved. Every
Thursday the flowers of every kind and in al
quantities are received , , orlod and dlstrlb

tarian , nothing denominational about It. The
Jlowers are given out , as long as they last
to all who need them and will berefrenhei
by thorn , whether In public Institutions or In
Iirlvato houses. This Is the object of the
Slower Mission , and Its scope Is not re

For weeks the women of the First Unitarian
church have been picparlng for the "Festival
ot the Seasons , " only to bo rendered des
perate by the * weather of the last few days ,
which has been more suggestive ot Christmas
than of lawn fetca. However , n visit was
made to the clerk of the weather , who suc
ceeded In turning out a very much better
article for Friday evening.
The fete was given on the spacious and
beautiful loxvn surrounding the residence of
Mr. Thomas Klmbnll , lim Park Wlldo
avenue , and was from all standpoints a
magnificent success. The entire yard was
surrounded by A wall ot white canvas and
as one entered the gate n vision of Fairyland
burst on the view. To the left nil was quiet
nnd beautiful. The soft green sward , the
utatcly trees , Intertwined with graceful festoons
teens ot lights , which shed nn effulgence
over nil , made a picture of rnre beauty And
the groups of guests enjoying the beauties
of the grounds gave the scene life.
To ( he right all was activity. Closest at
hand was the candy pavilion tastefully
ndoinrd with red and white , Its shelves
loaded with boxes of bonbons nnd candles ,
presided over by Miss Belle Klmball and
her cousin , Mies Klmball , who Is her guest ,
Kach box of bonbons carried with It n
chance for a dainty silver prize. A little
further on was the flower stand , daintily
decorated with ferns nnd roses , and overhung
with a roof of pansles , feme and pink blos
soms In the form of an umbrella. Hero Sim.
George A. Joslyn was In charge nnd her
efforts had made It an unqualified success.
Then came the lemonade booth , attended
l y Sirs. .Montgomery and Sirs. Walter Clark ,
decorated with rose-colored draperies and cov
ered with vines and flowers. And finally
the great dancing platform , where the even
ing's entertainment was given. This plat
form was well located on n level spot amid
the trees and the seats , which weie placed on
the rising ground nt the back , gave It the
appearance of an amphitheater.
While the audience , which numbered over
l.GOO , was gathering , It was entertained by
the music of the orchestra , led by Sir.
Charles Hlggln .
The program consisted of scenes appropri
ate to the various seasons ot the jear
and opened with the driving out of the old
year by the new. A grout ) of children with
the old jcar at their head danced In and
were expelled by old Father Tlmo and ha !
new year band , all tripping the measures
of a two step.
February , the birthday month of Washing
ton , appeared ns a tableau , n group of
colonial dames and squires paying their re
spects to the Father of Ills Country.
SInrch storms were set forth by a stormy
street scene between two men who gesticu
lated wildly and quarreled In an unknown
tongue. They came hack and gave a repre
sentation of nn organ grinder and his mon
key , which was very amusing when the
pseudo menhey became frightened and nearly
scalped a hirsute member of the orchestra In
a frantic effort to hide.
The showers ot April were prettily sym
bolized by fourteen little maidens all In
white , who marched In pairs , holding their
white umbrellas close above them and went
through the evolutions of the umbrella drill
ending with a pretty curtsy.
The maypole dance came next , given by
eight young girls and was a very pretty
sight aa they gracefully carried out the fig
ures , dancing in and out vvedvlng the cay
streamers about the pole. '
In June came eight little goddesses ot
liberty , who drilled "with flags nnd gave a
recitation -patriotic sentiment.
July brought a tableau of the lesser god
desses doing homage to their queen , the
Goddess of Liberty , who bore aloft the stars
and stripes.
August showed the emancipation of the
slaves. Two small boys with faces and hands
blacked stood bound with shackles , which
August 4 18C3 , loosed from their hands after
which the little darkles sang a plantation
song and did the
double shuflle in a mo t
creditable manner.
September as a yellow sunflower told the
dread tale of the prairie fire through the
dry grass of autumn.
