8 THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1908. V M8 WHAT- (aMg-B -I h ' 'lW- CONTRIBUTIONS concerning social happenings, intended for publication in the society depart ment of The Times, must be sub mitted to the editor not later than G o'clock p. m. Friday of each week. Exceptions will bo allowed only In case3 where events occur later than the time mentioned.) ttTP1 l HE SCOPE of the statistical bureau of the government is being extended year by year until there Is hardly anything of gen eral Interest not covered by the bul letins. No longer are these publica tions confined to percentages and commercial statistics, but lighter and more interesting matters are given attention. For instance, it Is learn ed from one of these governmental bulletins that approximately $50,- 000,000 were expended upon wed dings in this country in June last. "Not only this, but details are given: Wedding presents, ?S,7G5, 892; trousseaus, $22,765,021; bridal bouquets; carriages and wedding breakfasts, over $12,000,000. The 345.C75 ministers who officiated at the 643,800 weddings'recelved $497, 3G5 for their services, or an average of $1.43 per minister. An additional $4,567,230 was expended on wedding journeys, tips, rice, souvenir post cards, etc. "It would be more interesting than the figures themselves to learn Just how the government secured these statistics, but it is assumed they are correct, or they would not have ap peared in the bulletin. However, there are possible modifications of the expense. Some parts of the trous seaux may have been handed down from mothers or other relatives, and the wedding presents, which seem large, only average $13.06 per mar riage, and it Is found that only 27 per cent of the presents were actual ly purchased for the occasion. It is As most of the members of this club are from Minnesota and Wisconsin, it was decided to change the name to Minnie-Wisconsin. Old rose and white were chosen for the club colors. Mrs. A. Z.
