A church wedding is always an inter- esting event, but when the bride and groom are popular, the function has ad- ditional charm. Following closely after the Farrally-Scott wedding, many people were especially anxious to witness the marriage of Miss Josie Myrtle, ,daugh- ter of Mir and Mrs Elias G. Hoyt, of Ridgefield, personal friend of Mrs Far rally, to Frank Wright of THE NEwTowN BEE, young man of ability and excel lent prospects. The groom was the son of the late Col Wright, of Newtown.
 Half an hour before the fixed time, Tuesday afternoon, Jesse Lee Memorial Methodist Episcopal church was filled with people, many of whom were out of town friends. These had ample time to enjoy the rich decorations of the church. Artistically arranged were the beauti- fully tinted autumn leaves, the potted plants and the chrysanthemums, the work of genuine friends of the bride.
 Miss Faustina H. Hurlbutt, who had been entertaining the auditors with clas- sical selections for 15 or 20 minutes, final ly impressed the waiting friends with the familiar strains of the bridal chorus from ''Lohengrin'' a signal that the bridal party had entered the church at exactly the appointed hour, 3.45 o'clock. The bride appeared very pretty leaning on the arm of the groom. There was no mo nf ox autumn leaves the Rev Thomas H. Burch D. D., pastor of the church, met the couple and the impressive ceremony wal exemplified, the artistic ring service being adopted. The march which immortal ized Mendelsshon accompanied the brida party from the church, where coaches were entered and the journey was i'm mediately made to the station. Ther, many friends were awaiting the couple The showers of rice, hearty greetings ant loving expressions, was evidence of tn esteem felt for MT and Mrs Wright.
 Miss Hoyt was becomingly attired in travelling dress of new blue covert cloth trimmed with brown velvet and silk She wore chrysanthemums and carried white prayer book.
 Previous to the service the immediat relatives and intimate friends enjoyed collation. at the residence of MT Hoyt.
 Having resided in Newtown during tn past four years, the bride had made last ing friends there. Hence, it is not SUI prising that the presents should be nI merous and valuable. Her long absenc from Ridgefield had not diminished tn friendship of her old companions an acquaintances who did not fail to richl remember her.
 MT and Mrs Wright will immediatel begin housekeeping in Newtown whel the groom has just completed and cosil , furnished very pleasant home, sensibl believing in first securing the cage befol 7 capturing the bird. Is it really necessal to add that all Ridgefield people and I'll Press wish the couple unalloyed hapI ness? We'll, such is the fact, neverth less.
