Yesterday was the first wedding ami
versary of Mr. and Mrs. ]. Alfred Cole.
Evidently the date of this important
event had slipped the memory of Mr..
Coles gentlemen friends, but with the
members of the ''Douze Whist club" to
which Mrs. Cole belongs, it was other
wise. For over week the young ladies
| have been busily engaged in the study
of the art of cooking, and being sutti-
| GENTLY experienced at the end of that
novitiate, carefully prepared their favor
tie dishes yesterday morning, and pro-
viding themselves with all the needful
! accessories. wendell their way to the
| home of their friend. Mrs. Cole seemed
! for moment somewhat Supplied when
this body of young people, unlimited and
worse still unexpected, took possession
of her house with the announcement that
they had come to lunch, but the suspi-
cious looking baskets soon set at rest
any anxiety that existed, and she gladly
became the guest in her own house. 1t
need hardly be stated that Mr. Cole was
somewhat taken back to find upon his
arrival that twelve young ladies instead
/ of one eagerly awaited his coming He
submitted to the inevitable graciously,
and at the end Of the elaborate luncheon
rather thought the Mormon style of liv-
ing was not altogether unenviable, at
least for a day. Mr. and Mrs. Cole
were indebted for this memorable
and enjoyable anniversary to Mrs. DIR.
West and the Misses Helen and Fanny
Moon, Franc Littletield, Henrietta
Thompson. Edna Best, Mary Lakin.
Blanche Dunnet, Ollie O'Brien, Arlie
Ewart and Alice Prescott
Mrs. a. Hammatt, Miss Crosby and
Miss 5. D. Crosby rendered a rece ption to
their lady friends Thursday afternoon.
A very pretty wedding ceremony was
the interesting and unusual occurrence
which took place in the gymnasium
room of the college of the Sisters of
Bethany last Thursday evening. Strange
as it may seem the contracting parties
were both prominent students of this
young ladies' seminary. Owing to the
strict rules carried into effect on this oc-
casion only the boarders and faculty of
the college were permitted to be present
at the ceremony, hence the difficulty of
obtaining full particulars. However,
through sources most reliable, it was as
certained that promptly at o'clock, as
Miss Nina Gordon, taking her place at
the piano, began Mendelssohn's "Wed-
ding March," the bridal procession en-
tered the hall and proceeded to some
prettily arranged and imaginary altar,
and here Miss Lillian Horner, the fair
Bartlett by the Rev. Helen Green; the
beautiful Episcopal ring ceremony being
used. The bride and groom are spend
ing their honeymoon at the college.
