CHICAGO, May 27 Tho open sea
Bon on orange blossoms Impends.
Hut, according to Judge Harry V.
McEwen, of (lie Chicago marriage
court, there is a dls'inct bear move
ment In the love market and many
little orange blossoms that might
decorate.- weddings this Juno will
stay on 'the trees and grow up to
be nice ripe oranges.
Not that impassioned lovers slm-.
ply took It out In thinking this
spring. There will be nearly as manj
marriages tills year, according to
the figures of the first half of tho
fiscal y,ear, us in 1320.
The big -'Ideas is that In marriage,
as well as in Wall street, women's
skirts and Upper Silesia are back
to well known normalcy.
This Is . the year of the $5 wed
dings. "Ordinarily our marriage court is
not the scene of many 'society wed
dings,'" ho said. "It is above all a
place for young folks of limited
means to slart married life.
"But this year we have been sur
prised at tho class of young folks
who are coming here for our cere
inouy. Many of them are well able
to afford big society or church wed
dings. "They are saving money. Many or
them tell me that it is belter to
have a ?! wedding and mnke a pay
ment on a bungalow than to spend
It all on a trosseau elaborate break
fasts, and excess fares to Niagaiu
Falls. Father and mother who often
have to pay for their children's
weddings are all smiles as they step
in here and see the deed done eco
nomically." The interview was brought to a
hurried close, for the anteroom was
filling up .with young couples who
had obtained their licenses across
the hall and were waiting for the
"love, honor and cherish, in sick
ness and health, etc-r-" ritual Urn?
Judge McEwen repeats from 20 to
50 times a day. Hlg diamonds flash
ed on many third- fingers, benedicts-to-be
were dressed as nattily as
they us-jally are at more preten
tious ceremonies. Mothers, fathers,
sisters and brothers of obvious pros
perity accompanied porno of them.
"You can see that they can af
ford more expensive weddings,"
colnmented the judge, "but tho big
splurge is over. Marriage is back to
normalcy." "

richest June bride, Mifs Lollla A.
niour, sole heir to $(',0,0110,000, may lie
a little old fashioned, she says, hut
she won't have any "fuss" at her
wedding' the eighteenth of next
month.
Society hail expected that when she
would marry John J. Mitchell, Jr.. son
of the niulli-niilllonalre Chicago bank
er, uniting two of the biggest fortunes
in the United States, that the cere
mony nt picturesque Melody farm at
Lake Forest would bo the most or
nate In the history of Chicago.
"I think extravagances at weddings
are horrid," the 21-year-old bride-to-be
declared with a smile anil n grim
ace. "My things are going to be very
simple. I'm not going to wear a single
Jewell at the wedding. At least I don't
Intend to. I'll have to talk that oyer
with John."
She Guyly denied n report that her
wedding gown would bo trimmed wllh
$1,000 n yard lace. "Perfectly absuid,
I wouldn't think of it," she said.
"You can say," she added qulcklv,
"that I'm going to wear some lace
faslvJoncd from bits of tho wedding
gown worn by my mother. But it has
no Intrinsic value just a little sen
timent." Although her personal fortune is
estimated at $10,000,000, the "sun
shine heiress" Is planning to wear a
trousseau made of "left overs"'" when
she leaves on her honejnioon. All tint
she desires, she said, is a simple
yes, a school girl wardrobe.
