School Teachers Wed in
the Month of Roses
Dan Cupid is a very wily fellow.
One never knows what citadel he
"will attack and this year he seems to
have slipped into the school rooms.
We suspect that the chubby little
fellow crept in one day with the chil
dren as they marched in to their desks
from recess. The pretty school teach
ers were his victims, for as the June
days go skipping by news of many
weddings come to our ears.
The school books are closed, the
play grounds are deserted and in the
month of roses the school ma'ams'
"fancy lightly turns to thoughts of
love. Omaha teachers have un
doubtedly been gleaning knowledge
from new text books for the three
R's do not include the rudiments of
love and, yet, we find the blue serge
dresses of the school room supplanted
by the traditional white satin and
orange blossoms.
Miss Minnie Pratt is a bride of to
day, her marriage to Mr. Albert A.
Held taking place this afternoon.
Other of our attractive teachers who
are June brides, include Mrs. Calvin
Emmett, nee Miss Kate Field, and
Mrs. Russell E. Waitt, who was for
merly Miss Lenore Gunsaul. Yester
day, in Plattsmouth, Miss Blanche
- Robertson, who taught in South Lin
coln school, became the bride of Har
vey L. Gamer and today her sister,
Marie, who taught in Long school,
was married to Dr. Raymond West
over. The June time wedding chime spirit
has penetrated historic Brownell Hall,
for direct from Colonel Cupid's head
quarters came the bulletin announc
ing the engagement of the dean of
women, Miss May Scotland, to Mr.
Conrad Young. Even though the
lares and penates of the hall will be
packed away for the duration of the
war, it is pleasant to remember that
the spirit of romance played an im
portant role in the closing perform
ance at the school, on this, the last
June of its career.
Miss Katherine Thomas, another
charming school teacher, has an
nounced her betrothal to Lt. Capt.
A. B. Lindquist and Miss Grace Mil
ler will become the bride of Lt.
George Mclntyre just as the merry
month of June is ushered out in a
flutter of rose leaves.
I

A. Anderson of Calvary Baptist
church will perform the ceremony.
Miss Bessie Halbrook, the bride
groom's sister, and Mr. Russell Davis
of Cheyenne, Wyo., will be the at
tendants. Immediately after the cere
mony the young couple will leave on
their wedding trip, which will include
the Great Lakes and a St. Lawrence
river boat trip down to New York.
Miss Christine Paulson gave a
luncheon at the Field club Saturday
for the bride. Miss Sadie Davis en
tertains in honor of the young people
tonight and Saturday evening Mrs.
Lee Ellsworth will give a dinner in
"honor of Miss Jones and Mr. Hal
brook. Held-Pratt Nuptials.
Fragrant June blossoms, golden
hearted daisies, shell pink snap drag
ons, bride's roses and feathery green
ferns formed the setting for a charm
ing, home wedding which took place
this afternoon at the home of Mr. and
Mrs.- Nelson C. Pratt, when their
daughter, Minnie Grace, and .Albert
A. Held took their marriage vows.
Following a vocal solo iven by
Mrs. Harris Higgins, the soft strains
of the Mendelssohn wedding march,
played by Miss Helen Sturgess.'sound
ed through the rooms and down the
broad stair the bride came, the lovely
f bride, an attractive picture" in her
white crepe de chine bridal gown,
her arms full of fragrant pink roses.
She was met in the bower of
flowersTy the bridegroom and his
best man, Mr. George Pratt. Dr.
Titus Lowe read the marriage lines.
Following the ceremony an infor
mal reception was held, fifty guests
extending their good wishes to the
couple.
Mr. and Mrs. Held will take a west
ern wedding trip, going to Wyoming
for a short time, later returning to
Omaha.
. Plattsmouth-Omaha Romances.
Once more the interest of Omaha
society is taken to Plattsmouth for
the consummation of two interesting
romances, in which the June bride
principals are former Omaha school
teachers, the Misses Blanche and
Marie Robertson, daughters of Mr.
and Mrs. James M. Robertson.
-. - Tuesday at 2 o'clock the elder sis
ter, Miss Blanche, who taught for
several years in South Lincoln school,
became the bride of Harvey L. Gamer
of Omaha, electrical inspector of the
Union Pacific. Wednesday at 4
o'clock Miss Marie was wedded to Dr.
Raymond P. Westover of Clarkson
hospital, son of Judge W. H. West
over of Rushville, Neb. Rev. H. G.
McClusky.of the Presbyterian church
officiated at both ceremonies.
Miss Marie attended her sister as
maid of honor, after which Mr. and
Mrs. Gamer left for a trip to Wash
ington, where the bridegroom's par
ents reside, but she herself was un
attended, as the other couple had al
ready departed.
The romance of Dr. Westover and
his bride began at the University of
Nebraska, from which institution the
" bride is a Tri-Delt and the doctor a
member of the Delta Upsilon and Phi
Rho Sigma fraternities. He has three
brothers in the service, Lt. B. G., in
the aviation; Lt. Joseph, at Camp
Custer; W. A. Westover, a musician
wjth the navy, somewhere on the Pa
cific. This couple will go to the Black
Hills on their honeymoon. The bride
formerly taught in Long school, but
more recently in Kearney Normal.
Licensed to Wed.
Miss Marie Massey and John J.
Woodrough obtained a marriage li
cense in Chicago today.
Scottish Entertainment
For Parish Benefit
John McTaggart, a boyhood friend
of the famous Scotch comedian, Har
ry Lauder, will sing Scottish songs
at the entertainment to be given by
members of St. Vincent de Paul's for
the benefit of St. Michael's parish on
Wednesday evening at Creighton
auditorium.
Mrs. McTaggart, also a native of
the land of heather, will sing with her
husband. The program will be
opened by a tableau of young girls
dressed to represent the four allied
nations. Each one will sing one verse
of the national anthem of the land.
Uncle Sam will then appear and the
audience will join in singing "The
Star Spangled Banner." Special vau
deville features will complete the pro
gram. The money raised will go to start
a fund for the erection of a parsonage
near St Michael's church, which has
been recently built in East Omaha.
The parishioners, while numerous, are
among the poorest people of the city.
Rev. H. N. Nosbisch is their pastor.

Spanish Guests Entertained.

Nicolas and Senor Molino of Nicara

Central American public life some
years ago and is now professor of

the Spanish club at Miller park next
Monday evening.
Anyone from the Spanish-speaking
countries, or interested in Central or
South America, Cuba or Mexico, is
invited to be at the picnic and attend
the Monday evening meetings. One
object of the club is to co-operate
with the University of Nebraska in
having the high schools adopt Span

schools. By doing so many will be
prepared for commercial life with the
countries to the south when the war
