A Brilliant Silver Wedding.

The silver wedding of Judge and Mrs. H. B.
Moulton was celebrated Oh Tuesday evening
under circumstances and with ceremonies at
once most appropriate, significant and pleas
ing. The event occurred at tine Fredonia-a
beautiful four-story building No. 1921 H street
northwest. soon to be opened as a hotel under
management Of Mrs. De La Fetra. The floral
decorators In preparation for the reunion had
displayed exceptional good taste. The banquet
| tables, at which nearly three hundred guests
were served were in their burdens exceedingly
rich and tempting. 1t was, indeed, to employ
figure In description, as though our great So
cal and literary argand burner had been sud
denly turned upon scene of mingled artistic
beauty and tropical splendor to test the effect,
and that the experiment had proved most
gratifying to all concerned
The appropriateness and significance of this
celebration were strongly expressed in the
place and the personnel. The name ''Fredo-
MIA Washington lrving's choice for the name
of our country, the home of the free'-signi-
hes IN this Instance the home Of the free from
all need Of beverages that intoXicate and
speaks of field OF labor i'll which Judge Moul-
ton, as champion of the Wet. L., as advocate
on the rostrum, as pleader before the courts
as president of the Dashaways. has won the
brightest laurels. Its Significance was further
emphasized IN the personnel of the guests who
gathered to do him honor, and bespeak contin-
ued prosperity, health and happiness. The
have achieved distinction as co-workers in the
sphere already mentioned, comrades who had
shared with Judge Moulton the dangers, the
struggles and triumphs of the tented held. The
memories OF camp, of court and of the field of
reform were recalled under circumstances
which seemed to throw a new and brighter halo
about them. The names of many prominent
advocates OF reform whose absence was a keen
| regret were frequently heard. Among these
the name Of Miss Frances L. Willard president
OF the National Womans Christian temperance
union, dropped most frequently
The family circle which received this oya-
| ton and these congratulations from the hands
and hearts of hosts of friends included father
| and mother, sons Irwin and wife, Fred and Ray
mond and daughter Virginia 1t was broken
ington territory.
Expressions OF esteem and goodwill took
form also in pictures of silver. in which Gull
nary use and beauty were combined-presents
which fairly loaded down the extension table
| in the private dining hall. Most notable among
these was large banquet lamp presented by
| the executive committee of the W.C.TU. 1t
might appropriately have been intended in Its
| use to symbolic tie bright and clear light
which Advocate Moulton has frequently thrown
upon legal documents drawn by him in the in
| terests of the W.C.TU.
