 While memory was still fresh with re- spect to the joyful company that assem- bled at the home of MT and Mrs Oliver Perry on October II, 1890, when the a ir was rendered resonant with congratula- tions on the celebration of their 25th wedding anniversary, another happy company, on Thursday, September 5. 1895, filled their home, this time to wit ness the nuptials of their second daugh- ter, Miss Elsie Lois, to H. Frank Wheeler, son of MT and Mrs Henry B. Wheeler. About 75 invitations had been circulated among their young friends and about 50 responded. The parlors were most beauti- fully adorned with flowers, displaying great skill and taste in their arrange ment. The mantel was covered with festoonings of nasturtium, and an arch of ground pine, filled in with peerless white French phlox, was erected in one corner of the parlor, in the center of which was set horseshoe, heath which was suspended a marriage bell, all made of white phlox. In the corner of the archway was s'what-not" equally dec- orated with ground pine and white phlox. Miss Nellie Merwin presided at the organ and played the wedding march. At pre- cisely ? 30 P. m., the bridesmaid, Miss Nettie Merwin, ,sentered, leaning upon the arm of the best man, Charles o. Perry, brother of the bride, followed by the bride leaning upon the arm of the groom, and took their places meath the bell of the arch, where they were met by the officiating clergyman, Rev J. F. Duin- kerke of kensington, who united them in holy wedlock in accordance with the usages of the Methodist Episcopal church. When the hearty greetings and an, tt1fa fafi haI sJ tI,
 happy pair, the parents invited the friends to partake of sumptuous sup per. The walls of the dining room were fragrant odor by being festooned with branches of grapevines from which hung clusters of grapes, reminding one of the fruits from the Valley of Eshcol, while the table was laden with delicacies of all kinds, and fruits, tropical and domestic.
