EIGHT GOOD MONTHS.

The year 1894 deserves to have a very
good word said for the length and comfort
of its open season, especially in the early
spring and late fall. The early March
weather was much like April. In a sunny
border in the north part of this village big
yellow crocuseS peeped through the sod
and blossomed March 10, almost month
in advance of their common time. April
was unusually warm and by May l vegeta-
ton was far advanced. The second week
of the month brought the inevitable May
"cold spell" and on the night of the 18th
the night following the dreadful accident to
the Mortified teachers-there was a biting
white frost. In the country districts, a
little way back from the river fruit trees
were Just in their full bloom, and next day
many of them looked as If a scorching
flame had suddenly passed over them.
Ruin of the apple crop was feared, but rs
usually happens the damage was in
"streaks, and the crop as a whole proved
abundant. July and August brought long
continued drought, but aside from this the
summer weather was delightful, and the
September rains made the fields as green
as June. As late as the 18th of October
tender vines had not been touched by frost,
and, in the sunny border where the early
crocuses bloomed, geraniums, marigolds,
alyssum, petunias, and other moderately
hardy flowers were gathered last Sunday
as fresh and bright as in midsummer. 1t
is a homely illustration, but up to Tuesday
there was growing by the side of the fence
around the little park in the rear of the
Brooks House, lusty young potato vine,
one of the most sensitive of plants, abso-
lutely untouched by frost. Mondays mail
brought to this office from Bellows Falls a
bunch of sweet peas picked that morning
in a garden in that village. Tuesday fore
noon, Nov. 6, there came the first freezing
temperature of the fall, and Wednesday
morning for the first time the surface of
the ground was slightly frozen, while the
lawns were lightly covered with snow and
the distant hills were white like winter. 1t
has been an open season a good eight
months long, filled with outdoor delights
and possibilities, and Indian summer DAYS
are yet to come. Let us set it all down on
the credit side of the account of our New
England climate, which brings SO many
pleasant surprises to compensate for its
ofttimes stubborn capriciousness.

RBBD---FARR.
A ChrysRnthemum wedding In the
Presence Of 900 Guests.

A chrysanthemum wedding, strikingly
pretty i'm its decorative effect and ceremo-
NAL performance, and charming in It's so
cial side, was that of Fred w. Reed and
Miss Alice NJ. Farr, elder daughter OF MI.
and Mrs. Frank Farr, at the home OF the
brides parents in Crosby block Wednesday
evening, in the presence of about 2OO
guests.
The corridor was transformed into a
spacious drawing room, with draperies al
the several doors, rugs and mats upon the
floor, and divans and other articles OF tur-
niture at the sides. Evergreen ropes were
festooned from the ceiling to the sides,
and large arch of evergreen separated the
main apartment from the refreshment
room, where the table with the brides CAKE
was trimmed with smilax, with mass OF
chrysanthemums in the centre. The STAR
rails leading to the second floor were
mass of green. Chrysanthemums were
used effectively i'm the decorations, and at
the intersection of the green masses cleo
trio lights shone brilliantly. In the parlor,
where the ceremony was performed, was
an artisticaly constructed bower, formed
of ferns, evergreen, laurel, and sweet alys-
| sum, with white chrysanthemums in the
centre overhead. The other decorations
of the room were of evergreen, laurel and
! bitter sweet, and, in addition to the chrys-
| anthemums, many roses were used
The bridal march from Lohengrin was
| played upon the piano in the hall by Miss
Izetta Stewart, as the bridal party appeared
from the doors at one side, and proceeded
to the parlor on the opposite side. The
ushers came first-George Foster, Frank
Putnam, Fred Cressy and Walter 5. Pratt
the best man, Herbert L. Elmer; Miss
| Florence Farr, one of the brdemaids, a
cousin of the bride; the bride and last the
other bridemaid, Miss Edith Farr sister OF
the bride. The bride and groom met at
the bower and the others took their posi-
tions at the sides. A simple service, with
ring, was used.
The brides gown was of white satin, en-
traine, trimmed with ice crepe Other
trimming was lace made by hand at Els
enach, Germany, in the castle Wartburg
where Martin Luther was imprisoned
The bride and the bridesmaids carried chrys
anthemums. Miss Edith Farr was attiret
in Nile green silk and Miss Florence FAR
in white Irish point.
Following the ceremony the guests were
presented to Mr. and Mrs. Reed, to whom
congratulations and good wishes were eX
tended by all. Refreshments were served
and an hour or more spent socially. The
ring in the brides cake fell to Miss Elizi
Kenney. Mr., and Mrs. Reed left on thu
1920 train north, and were closely watched
so that they might not escape the farewell
which other recent bridal couples have en-
ioyed (0.
After the train had left the station
party of the young people returned t.
Crosby block to join in dancing for al
hour.
Among the guests were Mr.. and Mrs
Murdoch Clark and Miss Mary Clark o
Winchendon, Mass.
There were wedding gifts, including sill
verware, china, pictures, many chairs, an
other articles of use and elegance.

touchdowns in the first half and three in the last
half, McDougald kicking goal five times. Mt
Hermon completely outclassed her opponents.
To begin with there was the advantage of weight,
which was an important consideration on a slip

ference being phenomenal. Aided by 1t Weston,
McDougald PETIT, jefferson. Hyde aud Robinson
made runs of 30 to 80 yards The ball was never

praise, even though defeated. Mt Hermon sent
a large delegation of students, who cheered lusti
