Hero come iN tho brides! , x Itusinens girl, flapper, gay girl nnd sad girl, modern girl nnd idd fnsh loned girl they are trooping Into the marriage circle in record-breaking numbers. Alrmdy the "Little Churt-h Around tho Corner," capital of Amer ica's mnrringn industry, has "(H moro weddingH than Inst yenr. And so the Itev. J. 1L Handolph liny, reeior if the famous Church of the Trnnsfigurntion, does not "view wil h nhi nn" t he much dinmi ssrd inndern girl. She gops out nnd "gets her man,' even ns the Nirthwest Mounted INdire, nnd she bringH him to the nltnr, even at her mother and grniulmother. She walks into the weddeil stale with a better compre hension of whit ninrrinee involves thnn her grandmother hud. he nays. ''Once at ibe altar." smiles the rec tor, "she has all tho humility nnd in disturbed by Hie same fears rr her mother and gnmdniother. The present mode of life may have changed her viewpoints, but nrrlved nt the bride's nltnr, sho is the unchanged and beau tiful picture of womanhood achiev ing fearfully and devoutly the greatest of her girlhood dreams." Itev. Hny hntHpitN to ndd Hint the "Little Church" in no (iretna (Jreen nnd issues warning lo those youth ful sweelhearls who, in the Juno sea son, plan runaway marriages. About L'5 per cent of the persons I who come to the "Little t hurch to be wedded are given a cordial greet ing, a bit of advice but no ceremony. While 7",000 couples have been wed . since the day,- some 7H years ngo, when the Itev, Ceorge II. Houghton , founded the church with a borrowed room nnd few handmade benches, morft thnn "UMK have u"t met the church requirements. And t hat is where .Miss Mary Ilau lon, the rector's secretary, comes in. She interviews all the applicants. The "Utile Church' will not mnrry divorcees, elopers, those who hnve not been baptized nnd Ihose who have not tho consent of their parents. Youthful runaways are shown the seriousness of the wedding obligation. "On several occasions," recalls Itev. Itay, "they have telegraphed from the church and received tho con sent of parents by return wire nnd on others we have went scores of them buck to their homes, sobered and con trite. '"Yet I fnvor young marriage hut not too young. Young couples build their lives together through the years. The.v come to have a great unity of interest that binds them close in the years to come. Commercial ele ments begin to enter ns marriage Is delnyed and the' people mnlure. Tho romantic psychology enters into June weddings and probnhly pbiys a large pnrt in the Insting quality of marriage rontrncted in Hint month. Our statis tics show that marriages in June nnd weddings in the Little Church du hold, for some reason or other. "The romantic tradition clings long after the ceremony. Thousands of couples return1 to the church for their nnniversnries. K towers come years afterward, commemorat:ng a cere mony. Mothers nnd fathers, married in the church, bring babies to be bap tired. They come ncross the conti nent with daughters or sons who con template weddings. And we nro swamped with letters asking ndvice on every conceivable love prnhlem. "And sometimes I enter the church and see a widow sitting in her girh of black. There are many of thqse. They come hark quietly and alone f recall in the hours of grief the happy memories of the wedding day.' Through the doora of the rectory pnss thousands of varying chapters of a great city's comedies and trage dies. It is the tradition, established by the Itev. Houghton and his nephew who followed him. thnt the doors should never be closed. When the Little Church" was established it was but n few blocks from the morgue and the tenderloin of the old days. To this dny, says the new rector, friendless men and women, looking toward death, bring in a request for the church to bury them. Some leave a little sum for their burial sermon. I although the prospect of death be j years off. Out of the night often f comes a girl with a story of rhame. I A disheartened young woman tempt ed to 'end her life in the river, stops for a benediction and leaves with a picture of a brighter future. A man. nbout to be married, fum bles in hts pocket; drops of perspira- i tion nppear on h's forehead; his fare grows flaming red. He has put the . wedding ring in his vest and hasn't j worn the vest. j A man in army uniform enters. ; He bears the picture of a woman. Hoes the secretary remember having seen this woman? The secretary nods. ! Yes, she was married a few months 1 ago. "f.reat fJod this is my wife! I was ffverwens ; Three lives n re wrecked." The secretary recalls that ! the woman began to weep when t he reremony had ended and had won-' ilered why. Thus pnss through the doorvny of tho "Little Church'' both sunshine ' and tears. j . Hut now. it Jr June nnd sunshine. ! The green vines tin nee with gold in the nfternoon sun. And the rector. I who smiles with nn all-encompassing sympathy upon the varying parade, watches the young couples come tim-iflh- through the gate. "No." hp fays, "brides do not ! change from one generntion to the other. For women do not change at j heart."
