"What's so rare as day in Junef" AS
Thursday evenings twilight gently lowered,

to the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry R.

loving hands for the marriage of dearly be-
loved daughter, Miss Anna Janette, to Lewis
Highland Eggleston of Southbridge, Mass.
At eight o'clock the rooms were filled with
couple lending cheer and happiness; silence
followed the notes of the wedding march, an
nouncing the approach of the bridal party to
the position beneath the floral bell. The i'm
pressive marriage service was performed by
Rev. o 8. Davis, assisted by Rev. George
Drake the bride was lovely in white muslin
worn with CHEEKY, happy mien, that aug
mented the evenings pleasure. Congratula
tions were but concluded when refreshments
were served, and time sped on rapid wings.
All eyes we're iealously guarding Mr.. and
Mrs. Eggleston's every move, but quietly she
was the watchword. Within and with
out the guests were waiting; quietly the bride
slipped away, and as all unsuspected she bsde
her friends "good night" from the carriage,
which was believed to contain a departing
guest, cry of disappointment arose. Just

way. The congratulations of all for their
