Mr.. AND MRS JOSEPH SPEIDEL CELEBRATE
THEIR SILVER ANNIVERSARY.
Large Number Of Guests Escorted to the Park
Where Delightful Programme was Unray-
ellsc-Music, Dancing, Bowling, Prom
tnading and Refreshments Filled
in the Hours.

Matrimonial milestones are not 70 De
passed unnoticed, especially when they
mean long series of years of unbroken
connubial bliss. So concluded Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Spe!del, of Chapline street,
who, twenty-five years ago yesterday,
took the sacred vows that ever after
caused two hearts to beat as one. A
silver anniversary, such as the twenty
fifth, is something that does not so ire
quently occur, and it was indeed lifting
that it should be observed in more than
the usual way.
Mr. and Mrs. Speidel happily con-
ceived the idea Of giving an outing at
the Park, but it developed into some
thing more elaborate than the word
outing usually includes. The invita-
tions OF the affair were particularly
noticeable, being in silver script letters,
emblematic of the occasion. They were
among the handsomest invitations ever
sent out here.
The guests departed for the Park last
evening on the o'clock motor, although
a few delayed until the nine motor.
Quite a number Of guests were gathered
in along the line OF Elm Grove road, per-
sons occupying suburban residences.
As the guests alighted from the motor
they proceeded at once to the dance pa
william where they were gracionsIy re-
ceived by Mr.. and Mrs. Speidel, assisted
by Miss May McIlwaine, of New York,
and Miss Hattie Wheat
Music was furnished by the Opera
House Orchestra, and dancing was en-
loved for several hours. Some rich and
exquisite toilets were seen on the floor.
The joyous assemblage was com
posed Of not only the
married friends of the
host and hostess, but also the younger
associates of Mr.. Hal. Speidel, eldest
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Spedel. The two
extremes, however, blended happily,
and formed most delightful party.
The other members OF the family,
Messrs. Joe and Jesse Speidel, and the
fascinating little daughter, Miss Eliza
Speidel, most dainty attired, were all
on the festive scene, entering heart and
soul into the merriment that prevailed,
and ever assisting their parents IN the
extending Of cOurteSies.
A portion of the party INDUCED in
sport at the bowling alley, and here
also pleasure reigned for quite awhile.
There was also considerable prOmenad-
ing and general sociability. Between
the hours of 10 and 70 refreshments
were served at the Park Cafe, some
twenty tables being arranged, choice
cut flowers ornamenting the centre OF
each. A tempting menu was discussed
at intervals, and altogether it was
well-rounded anniversary. The guests
returned to the city on a special motor
at ? o'clock. Among those present
