In honor of the occasion the house

bowl in the south parlor was presided
over by number of the brides in
innate friends and a delectable menu
was dispensed in the dining room.
The Blaesius orchestra, REINFORCED

out the evening.
Perhaps no bride has gone forth
from Watertown in recent years with
more sincere and general we'll wishes
than this one She is the embodi-
ment of all that is good and true, and
by her noble qualities of heart and
mind has made for herself warm
place in the affections of her every
acquaintance. The words of the poet
no doubt best express the general
estimate of her: "None know her
but to love her, none name her but
to praise" The groom is young
man of character and high social
standing, in every way worthy of the
fair companion he has chosen for
life's journey. He is a prosperous
business man. a member of an extern
sive vehicle manufacturing concern
We trusG that the pathways of this
estimable couple may ever be strewn
with earth's choicest blessings.
Mr. and Mrs. Kramer took their
departure early this morning for the
East and South, intending to pass
their honeymoon at Old Point Com
fort and other places of interest
They will be at home after December
l at Brooklyn.
