 The Congregational church was tn

 wedding on Wednesday afternoon at
 o'clock, when Miss Grace Mary, only
 daughter of Mir and Mrs I. B. Goodsell
 was welded to Fred E. Hubbell, former
 ly of Newtown, but now of Poquonnock
 lt was a beautiful June day, and "What
 is so rare as a day in June" especially
 when Dame Nature and "Old Sol" arc
 at their posts of duty and in harmony
 with the wedding march. Inside the church loving frierds, under the direction of l.. c. Morris, had transformed bare church furnishings into bower of beau y. Banked m front of the organ was a solid mass of the laurel blossom In all its glory, while over where the bridal party stood was an arch of laurel, from which was suspended mammoth wedding bell made of white peones.
 The church was filled to overn flowing with Invited guests and friends of the happy pair from far and near. Prompt ly at the hour the bridal party arrived at the church, and while the sweet strains of Lohengrn's wedding march pealed forth from the organ under the skllfu touch of Mrs F. $. Andrews, the doors were thrown open to the expeCtant guests and the bridal party moved up the aisle to the altar. Miss Mabel Fay Tor and Master Paul Beardsley preceded the ushers, Messrs Hervey W. Wheeler, Emory Sanford of Bedding, Benjamin Falrchld of New York and Arthur J. Smith, strewing the pathway with roses. Following the ushers came the brides maids, Miss Mamie Hubbell and Miss Fannie c. Scudder, the maid of honor, Miss Nellie Hubbell, and the bride and groom. The bride was beautiful in a gown of white satin, cut entrain, trimmed with lace and ribbon, and the bridal veil was caught in her hair with roses and lace. She carried large bouquet of brides roses. The maid of honor was charming in a dress of pink silk, trimmed with ribbon and the blossoms of the sweet pea, large bouquet of which she carried in her hand, as were also the bridesmaids in dresses of nile green silk, trimmed with white chiffon, and each car rled bouquet of the lilies of the valley. The maid of honor and bridesmaids each wore white leghorn hats, the maid of honor's being trimmed with chiffon and pink roses and the bridesmaids with chiffon and mignonette.
 The bridal party were met at the altar by Rev Otis W. Barker, pastor of the Congregational church, who performed the marriage ceremony, assisted by Rev James r. Hoyt, former pastor of the Newtown church, but now of Cheshire. To the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march the bridal party receded from the church to carriages in waiting, which conveyed them to the home of the bride, where a reception was held from 4 until o'clock. The home had been prettily decked with flowers, and standing in the | front parlor Mir and Mrs Fred B. Hub | bell received the best wishes and con- gratulations. A bridal supper followed the reception, which was thoroughly en- joyable. As mark of the respect and | esteem In which these popular young peo- are held by their many friends were a very large number of elegant and pretty | wedding gifts. Mir and Mrs Hubbell de- parted on the G 5S train for New Haven | for wedding trip that will include many points of interest, but they did not get | away until large enough quantities of | rice and old shoes had been showered | upon them to guarantee them the sue cessful and happy journey through life which they rightly deserve. A host of | friends were at the depot tU see them safely started. On the return from the l wedding journey they will make their | home at Poquonnock.
