THE MONTH OF LOVE AND FLOWERS, Marriages Which Brought Out the Leaders of the Beau Monde — A Picnic at Ruser's Park— Move- ments and Whereabouts. LOST IN THE CLOVER. Sumuel G. King, 4 maiden was sighing all the day tong, Like the waves on a restiess sea, And sho sang a sad and sorrowful song— My love, he is falso to me. ©, whore is my love, and whore is he gone? I have hunted the grass and the clover; He has fled from his true love and loft mo alone, Like u fickle, inconstant lover. $3he sang with an air of melody ‘That was heard in the fields far over, When sho heard a sweot voice in the fleld below, Just coming from ont of the clover. "Tis 1, my love, I will ever be true, And we'll wander the wide world over, And DIl never forget the song that you sung The day wo were lost in the clover. Yes; it is tho month of roses, And the month of weddings, too, for some- how they go together, not only in poetry, but in real life. Why there should be a super- stition against gotting married in May is hard to explain, but all who can like to mate 1 June. How June would be missed from the cal- endar if it should be dropped out, and what a great deal of the beautiful in life would te st if there wero no roses. It would beal- most like baving no weddings. Life is not all made up of money-getting and the Property Owners’ association and the political arena and the struggle for exist- ance, The pursuit of beauty is as keen in this intense, bartering, busy age as when the world was younger and more easy-going and whether it be to view them in the fields, to deck the bonnet or carry them in a bridal bouquet, it is the roses that mankiod, and perhaps even more so womankind, are after. A verse of poetry, a pretty picture, a dainty flower, a strain of music appeals even more perhaps today to a child, to the busy man or the mature woman than it ever did before. (ently, but irresistibly, 1n suminer nature reminds man that business is not the only thing in this world. By this means he is in- duced to pause in his work and then, after reflection; he is delighted with the glorious vista which appears before him. Plant life of all varieties, animallife in all its forms, aro in summer seen at their best. Then it is that the atmosphere becomes musical with the busy insects, which, in the pursuit of their daily toil or pleasure, peer into the n. most recesses of the domostic arrangement -, 80 to speak, of the flower ana carry off tau contents of its larder. Then it is that gaudy colors appear on the wing, enlivening and” beautifying the sur- roundings where butterflies are found. ‘Chen itls that joyous notes, emitted by number- less aorial songsters, fill the air with natural music, and irresistibly make one long to spend an hour or more beneath the shaae of some spreading oak to listen to their enchant- 1ng strains. Then it is that admiration, even by the most insensate, is openly expressed at tho generous display of naturé's handiwork in the rich combination of color seen in the flower-bearing plauts. How delightful upon a hot and sultry day is the delicate aroma of strawberries—straw- berries which are tinted with a color that is pre-cminently their own, like that of sweet sixteen, blushing, as it were, in their ripe- ness and unequalled in their power of quench- ing summier thirst. Summer, even with this queen of fruits alone, would pe valuable as a source of happiness, for in taste, color and smell nothing can compare with strawberries. “Doubtless,” sald Dr. Boteler, quoted by I. ‘Walton, “God could have made a better berry (strawberry), but doubtless, also, God never did.” Had it not been for two very protty wed- dings, with their accompaniments of batch- elor dinuers and bridesmaids’ luncheons and the races, the past week would have been voted deucedly dull. But thanks to the wed- dings, society has had something very pleas- ant to tulk about and the fair girl friends of the brides have had no end of excitement in arranging dainty things for a proper celebra- tion of Cupid’s’ victory. Tho races have called out the haut monde in lavge numbers and the grand stand and the quarterstretch have been gay with _color. So taken alto- gother tho week has _been interesting if not exciting. But there is litue in store for the future and that is what is troubling the leadcrs of fashionable life. The Stry] 3laas-Lust Olub. Oanana, June 13.—o the Editor of TrE Bek: It cannot be that in your article of last Sunday’s Beg, “Music in Omaha,” you could have purposely omitted to mention the oxistenco and the laudable efforts of the Stryk-en-Blaas-Lust club, of which Iam the founder and director. Our object is to pro- mote orchestral playlwg. Its members are all young, ardent enthusiastic lovers of their instruments, faithful to their duties by at- tendiug necessary practice, no matter the season or weather, striving to attain indi- vidual excellence so necessary for a good re- sult in ensemble playing. You mention every ingand defunct Organization, only not the ono that in duo time is bound to give greot pleasure to Omaha’s musio lovers, one that has not only given already solid proof of ability on several occasions, but promises fu- ture excellenco, for they are 1a earnest. Omaha has no orchestraat present. Our club's motto is: “Love for String and Wind Instruments:” and the beautiful delicate of- fects produced by string instruments when properly trained ought to be appreciated by all dovotees of the art. It is deligently cul- tivated by our club. Truly yours, Dit. CHARLES BAETENS. Honoring a Bride Elect. Tuesday aftornoon Miss Yost gave one of the most charming luncheons of the season 10 honor of Miss Mary Ludington, and the young ladies who had been chosen brides- maids for the Ludington-Hull marriage, It ‘was a final meeting of congenial friends, and the girls enjoyed the day to the utmost. It was o last opportunity to exchange those lit- tlo confidences dear to every girl's heart, and they wondered who would be tho next o fol- “ea]ow and thus diminish the rapidiy loosening circlo of socioty favorites. They even bal- loted for the next favored sister, but the unanimous chioce of the girls did not take kindly to the election, and for that rewson the event is only referred to in & general way. In addition to Miss Lud- ington there were present: Miss Yates, Miss Bessio Yates, Miss Hoagland, Miss Laura Hoagland, Miss Mabel Baloombe, Miss Brown. . A Pretty Lunche, Friday aftornoon Mrs. Horace Ludington, 1n honor of Mr. Charles Hull's visiting rela- tives, who had come on to attend the Luding- ton-Hull wedding, gave pretty lunchoon at her rosidence, 2003 Burt stroet.

A beautiful, gracious ana very happy home wedding was that of Mary Taylor Lu ington, daughter of Dr. and Mrs, Horace Ludington, and Charles Watson Hull at the residence of the former, 2008 Burt street, Wednesday evening at 6. For months this wedding has been the subject of much dis- cussion 1n the exclusive circles of so- ciety,” and at one time it was thought the ceremony would tako piaco in May but the day, out of deference to the wishes of the bride's parents, was post- poned, until Mr. Hull finally sucoeeded in having June 10 named. Miss Ludington is & beautiful young wotwan and for soveral seasons has figured in the aoings of the beau monde which she has graced by qualities of mind and heart, mak- ing her a prouounced favorite in her set and for that matter in all the sets which make up, jvhat the world calls, fashionable soclety o, All day Weanesday the girl friends of the bride-eléct, whow skio had honored with an invitation to participate in the ceremonies as bridesmaids, labored with gentle hands and willing hearts to make the Ludington mansion a bower of beauty in keeping with the loyeablo character of their favored friend. Whilo the conventional floral decorations were in charge of a decorator, the dainty touches and protty effocta were given the rooms y the young ladies who showed in all the arrangements of flowers, ferns and palms, an adaptability quite out of the common, and it is very much yuestioned if a bride ever received the benediction in so beautifully appointed a room as the front par- lor of the Ludington house on Wednesday evening, Not until nearly 5 o'clock were the ar rangoment of the rooms completed to tho satisfaction of the young ladles, but thoir ef- forts were more than compensated for in _the exclamations of the guests as they gazed in wrapt wondermentat the beautiful effects arranged for the occasion. The front parlor, in_which the ceremony was porformed, was decorated in white and groen, ropes of smilax being festooned around the room, depending from the chan- aelier and fastened to the sides of the wide doorway.. Palms and ferns stood in the cor- ners, a very happy effect being mado the white cloth which covered the But it was the deep bay window which attracted most attention. From topto bottom soft, sheer cloth was hung completely shutting out the light, and around the half circle garlands of white peonies wero suspended, which, toning in with the curtain of smilex deponding from the ceiling made a never to bo forgotton pic- ture. Atthe base of the improvised altar, pals, ferns and white roses were arranged, space being left just large enough in which the oMciating clergyman ocould stand. In front of the altar stood the priedieu, the back being made high and posts placed at either end, in_which tall waxen ‘tapers burned. The priedieu was also in white ana trimmed with White roses, o wreath of roses being hung on the side upon which the bride kneeled, broad, white ribbons being placed on the opposite side for the groom. i The back parlor was decorated in pink, ferns ond palms being placed in the corners whilo ropes of smilax were festooned from the chandelier. The dining room was a gem in its floral arrange- ment, @ small table being placed in- the cen- ter. broad ribbons of white silk being fastened 10 the chundelier and _pinned to the ends of the table. A white sili cloth was the only covering in use, a rose bowl of white roses occupying the center while candelabra and pink shades gavea touch of tight tothe place. ‘The sideboard was banked with ferns, and peeping through the green were pink peonies, which made a very dainty effect. The man- tel in the room'was banked with pink and white roses, the wholo affect being as pretty as could be possible. Promptly at 6 o'clock the wedding march from *‘Loliengrin,” played by the mandolin club, announced tho approach of the bridal party. Rev. William Justin Harsha, the officiating clergyman, had previously taken his position in the deep bay window, bobind the priedieu. Tho processional was led by Mr. W. J. Latta of Chicago, the groom’s best man, Mr. Charles Wilson, Mr. Robert Patrici and Mr. Charles How, who entered from the hallway carrylng broad sillc ribbons which they suspended from the doorway to the altar, making an aisle through which the party passed. Iol- lowing the ushers came Mr. Hull, the groom, and Mrs. Horace Ludington, the bride's mother, Then came eight bridesmaids, all intimate friends of the bride, in the following order: Miss Bessio Yates and Miss Mc- Kenna, Miss Yost and Miss Hoagland, Miss Brown and Miss Balcombe, Miss Yates and Miss Laura Hoagland, The fair attendants formed an immer line on tho aisle four on, either side, and through this group of pretty - girls the bride, leaning on _the arm of her father, Dr. Horace Ludington, passed. The bride presented a charming pieturo in her gown of white faillo which was relieved by an over- dress of chiffon, the skirt and waist being trimmed with duchess lace. The tulle veil was fastoned with a_marguerite of pearis and diamonds, while at her throat sho wore a four-leaved clover of white enamel, the points being accentuated by emeralds and diamonds, a gift of the groom. In her hand she carried a beautiful bougquet of lilies of the valley. 'Miss Bossio Yatos was costumod In & white flowered silk gauze, trimmed with ostricn feathers about theneck and wore an airgrette of feathers in the hair.

After the wedding, refreshments were served, the bride cutting the cake, and the ring, which was concealed in its filmy depths was captured by Miss Clara Brown, who, if the logend be true, will bo the mext, on the list, “The thimble and piece of mouney which ~were also concealed In'the cake were bastlly hidden from 'sight and the pames of tho reciplents could not bo loarned. At 8 o'clock the bride left the room to change ber wedding gown for her ‘igo away" costume, which was of & dark ollio camel's hair, the toquo correspending fn color to the gown. Her bouquet, which she throw from the stairway, was received by Miss Hoagland. When the bride and groom left for their train they were compalled to pass through a lino of guests reaching to thelr oarriago and handfuls of rice and old shoes followed them until the door of the carriage shut them from tho friendly fusillade. They left on the 9:3. train for Fortress Monroo, where a portion of the honeymoon will be passed aud later they particularly pink tulle carried & “day ovening last, where a very happy even- L served lo hooor of Mr. Hull, who has beeu & will be tho guosts of Colonel and MM, M..1.
