KENT,
MISS wAKEMAN-MR PAGE.

At MillertOn, N. Y., under an umbrel- la of quaint design, which was composed of evergreens and white moon flowers, and hung in the northeast corner of the Wakeman parlor, Miss Julia N. Wake man, daughter Uf of Orriu aud Francis Wakeman was married to George Me- Clellan Page Uf North Kent on Wednes- day afternoon, October 7, at 3 o'clock. The umbrella was emblematic of the wishes of the friends of the bride and bridegroom, that they may be safely guarded from all the storms of life. Its composition was in harmony with the entire scheme of decoration, which was designed by Mrs Fred Lyke of P0ugh- keepsic, an intimate friend of the bride. The trimmings u>ed throughout the hou}G were composed almost entirely of autumn leaves, wild flowers and eyer greens, The effect WAS very beautiful without the appearance of elaboration. l Ouin WukcmaU, J:., brother to the l hride, was tue gr0omsmau, and Mi3s | Fannie Mak:m&n WAS her sisters brids- maid Mrs Mary R. Williams of r, ugh 1 kccpsia was maid of honor. Rev II. s. QuilHn performed the ceremony. MT 1 Walter Wakeman, the brides brother, played the wedding music. The brides dress was of cream colored brocade satin, trimmed with thread lace, made with train, and with high cOrsage. She wore @ veil fastened with orange blossoms, and carried bouquet of beautiful white roses. The bridesmaid wore white china silk, trimmed with white lace, and carried Q cluster of carnations. The maid of honor was dressed in blue silk crepe, trimmed with valencienes lace, and car ried a basket of pink carnations h9cked with white bossms. The ceremony W as very simple and pretty, and the group around the officiating minister made a striking picture, the little maid of honor adding q quaiutly charming touch. Al ter the VOWS were made, the bride and groom remained standing under the um- brella and received the congratulations pf their relatives and friends. Refresh meuts were than served and a social time vas enjoyed until the newIy-wedded d couple lett to take the $40 train. They were compelled to submit to the usual phower of rice and old shoes, without which, it would seem, no wedding would be complete. The old house was well filled with guests. Among those from put of town were: Mrs Helen Page, mother of the groom, and Edgar Page, the gro0m's brother of Kent, Conn. Miss Ella Underwood, Miss Georgie Butler, Mrs John LYke, Mrs Fred Lyke and son, all of POughkeepsie; Mrs Eli zabeth ScOyille of North Egremont; Nil and Mrs Eliza Woodworth of Conneaut. Ohio; Miss Harriet Pulver of New. burgh, Mir and Mrs Walter Wakeman Ot Lime Rock. The presents were many and of great value, that of the groom being 8 diamond pin of clover leaf de- sign. Altogether the young couple start out under the best auspices, and that they may be safely sheltered from life's storms is indeed the wish of their many friends. Father Wakeman says: Ut is the fate of parents to see their children go out from their old home leaving it lOnely. - E ACuauge.
