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,

white were chosen for the club colors.
