Recent Events and Some Futare Ones —Lawn Parties and Teas— Personals. Evidently the old superstition against May weddings hes no force or meaning in leap year or in these days of the new woman. It is very well it is so, too, for ten to one that most important desidera- tum—pleasant weather—is more likely to smile upon May than June festivities, for the effect of the latter is often marred by the extreme heat. Whether any or all of these considerations have entered into the plans of the young ccuples whose wedding days have just beep announced, or whether it is si!mply a case of “can’t walt any longer,” Is of itself unimportant, when such interesting facts and dates are the topics of pleasant gossip. It may be that the current notion that the social world scat- ters to new addresses, and can scarcel, depended upon as a Washington audie: after Junz 1, may have a little to do with these May-day move: fate has other loving couples for matri- inenial combinations listed for the month of roses, so no matter how aciive the season in this regard may seem next month, we chall by no means be entirely defrauded of our June weddings. The wedding day for Miss Julla Steven- son and Rev. Mr. Hardin has been set for Thursday, May 25, as already announced in The Star. The emony will take place jock that evening, at the New York nue Church, and will be followed ued K pall tion at the Normandie.
