Mrs. Taylor, presi dent, in the chair. Mrs. A. B. Coffroth was elected assistant secretary. The work of the secretary 'is too laborious, there being bo many inquiries addressed to the society, by women from other cities inquiring the kind and moaire of city improvement. It was thought bes) to have a report of the society's work and history of organization printed. Such a report would make the work of the secretary and assistant secretary easier and extend the society's ipfluonce. - After some discussion in regard to tho proposed change in street nomenclature by tho30 who approved and disapproved the change the eociety adjourned to meet two weeks from date.

There is an ideal Juno wedding, and it does not take place in tho city church, whare it eeeras a mere interlude in the roar and rush of the life outside, The ideal month-of-roses wedding is realized oftener in England than in this country, but the Eno-Graves wedding which occured at Simsbury, Massachu setts, recently, was a living picture of what these affairs may be. The cere mony wbb performed in a picturesque littlo chun.-h, which fairly ran over with flowers. From tho door a long strip of green carpet meandered across tho church-yard, between the rows of century-old tombstones, out at the gate, down tho street for four blocks, and then across the lawu and up the slepBof the Eno house. A'ong this green car pet lane walked the whole bridal proces sion tho brido with her point-lace veil, the maids with short tulle veils and car rying 'muffs" of pink roses, and tho guests who camo following aftor. Thoro wbb an al fresco luncheon served at small tables under the trees, and thus wero tradition and the thermometer both appeased. Bazar. Mrs, J. M.
