HULL--FRENCH.

Though the evening of Tuesday, De- cember 3, was stormy and dismal, many relatives and friends gathered at the Methodist church to witness the marri- age of Miss Cora Louise, daughter of MT and Mrs o. H. Hull, to Wilbert Nelson French of Trumbull. In honor of the bride, the church, where she has ever been an earnest worker, was prettily trimmed with evergreens and potted plants by the young people with whom she was favorite. The ushers were El- bert O. Hull of Plymouth, Conn.,, Arthur J. Hull of Worcester, Mass, brothers of the bride; Orville E. Burton and William F. Tait of Trumbull. At the appointed hour, 30 p m, the doors were thrown open and, as Willard $. Plumb, organist of the Congregational church at Trum- bull, who presided at the organ, render ed appropriate music, the bridal party entered, the bride leaning upon the arm of her brother Ebert and preceded by her maids of honor, Misses Carrie May Hull of Stepney and Edith Whitlock of Bethel, cousins of the bride; both were attired in red costumes and carried bou- quets of red and white roses. Up the opposite aisle advanced the groom, at tended by his best man, o. B. Burton and preceded by A. J. Hull and W. F. Tait, meeting the bride at the altar. The cer- emony was performed by the pastor, Rev J. F. Robertson, who used the Episcopal | rF,t, ;,a stylish gown of white, decked with roses and smilax, with bridal veil, and carry ing bouquet of white rose buds. Leav- | ing the church, the bridal party repaired to the residence of Mir and Mrs o. II. Hull, where a reception was held for the near relatives.
