A select party of invited guests, friends and relatives from Easton, Bedding, Mon roe, Westport, Norwalk, New Canaan, Newtown, Trumbull and New Jersey, numbering l25, on Tuesday evening, May 10, filled to repletion the residence of Mir and Mrs George J. Banks of Rock House, the occasion being the 18th anni- versary of their welded life. The host and charming hostess received, standing in the parlor, the congratulations of their numerous guests as presented by the usher, Orlando Osborne, assisted by Miss Sylvina Banks, who performed their arduous duties with dignity and grace and, as we looked on the happy, smiling faces of the recipients, it seemed as if the ceremony 15 years ago which made them happy man and wife had but just been performed. Music, both vocal and instrumental, of a superior order rendered at intervals by a number of the guests, more noticeable of which were Misses Lulu and Eva Sturges of Vest port, who delighted their hearers with charming melodies and instrumental music such as only accomplished artists can produce. The tables, artistically decorated with native wild flowers, beau- tiful in their simplicity, were most boun- tifully laden with choice viands, fruits and delicacies in profusion, which were, as fast as diminished, immediately re- placed until all present had been made supremely happy.
