One cannot but admire the noble spirit

A DOUBLE WEDDING.

There was a quiet but very pretty
double wedding Wednesday afternoon
at No. I Main Street, South Paris. The
contracting parties were Mr.. Charles IL.
Howard and Miss Alice b. Greene, and
Mr.. Edward l.. Greene and Miss Ruth
Gertrude Jones. Mr.. Greene and Miss
Greene are the two children of Mrs.
Dora b. Greene. The ceremony took
place in the parlors occupied by the
Haskell family, in the same house where
Mrs. Greene resides.
The rooms were simply but hand
somely decorated. The bridal couples
stood before bank of ferns covering
the fireplace in front of which was
large bouquet of bridal wreath. Ferns,
palms, begonias, and bouquets of white
flowers were effectively arranged about
the rooms, the only variation from the
general color scheme of green and
white being few punches of pansies.
There were present only relatives of the
parties, including Mr.. and Mrs. Rideout
of New Gloucester and Miss Mary Ride
out of Auburn, and three or four par
ticularly intimate friends. The brides
were attired in white muslin, each car
rying a bouquet of white roses and
wearing a single white rose in her hair.
The opening strains of the wedding
march from Lohengrin were played by
Mrs. w. W. Walker, as the bridal party
approached from the rooms above. The
ring service was used, and was impress
| ively rendered by Rev. WE. Brooks,
lD. D., pastor of the Congregational
church, of which the four young people
are members.
All of the parties are well known in
South Paris. Mr.. Howard is the junior
member of the firm of +. A. Shurtleff q
Co. Miss Greene was for several years in
the dry goods store of &. w. Bowker q
| Co., remaining there after the store
passed into the hands of l.. b. Andrews.

of Mr.. and Mrs. A. e. Jones, has been

Der of handsome presents testified to the
esteem of friends. 1t would be difficult
to select four young people who would
receive more hearty congratulations. ant
good wishes from everybody, or who
stand higher in the estimation of tn
community.
i The bridal couples left On the after
noon train, amid a shower of at least
double allowance of rice, to spend few
DAYS about Casco Bay. Mr.. and Mrs
Greene will make their home with MI
lGreene's mother on Main Street. MI
and Mrs. Howard will make their HON
with Mr.. Towards mother on Pleasan
Street. They will be at home to the
friends after July LIST.

COMPLIMENTARY CONCERT.

The announcement that W. X. Chap
man of the Maine Festival fame will
visit Bethel June II with some celebrat-
ed artists from New York, needs only
the statement of the facts to insure a
crowded house for this evening of music.
Miss Louise Truax, the marvellous bird
warbler and whistler, is acknowledged
to be the best in the world. She is a
most attractive and pleasing young girl
and completely captivates her audience.
She was such success in the spring
tour that Mr.. Chapman has engaged her
for these concerts by special request.
Gwilym Miles, the favorite of the
festivals, needs no introduction to
Names music lovers. He is host in
himself and most successful everywhere
in song recitals as we'll as the master
parts of the great oratorios. He is be-
yond question the greatest baritone on
the concert stage to-day, and it is a
great treat to have him visit our town.
It is only through the personal friend
ship of Mr.. Chapman that we can have
this wonderful opportunity. Every one
should hear him at this time, for he
goes to Europe at the close OF this sea-
son, and it may be long ere we have an
other such singer. \
Hans Kronold, the talented violOncel-'
list, has also been heard in Maine, where
he has won many laurels and added to
reputation which has made him world
renowned as solo cellist. He has
made tours all over the United States
this past season with enormous success
upon every appearance. He is favorite
everywhere, and always wins his au-
dience by his soulful expression and
wonderful production of tone on this
instrument of such great capabilities
and possibilities under master hand.
Mr.. Kronold ranks among the greatest
cello artists of the day. The fact that
Mr.. Chapman will play the accompani-
ments is of itself an added attraction as
his magnetic personality and rare must
cal ability increases the pleasure OF each
number on the programme. The price
of admission for this great musical treat
has been made very low in the hope that
all may attend and enjoy this evening OF
song. No one can afford to miss it.
The above concert is complimentary
to Prof. w. S. Wight who is well known
throughout our county and state, and he
has been of great assistance to Prof.
Chapman in drilling choruses for the
Festival. Owing to illness in Mr..
Wight's family he was obliged to give
up his musical work for some time and
his own health has been much impaired
by the nervous strain. We are pleased
that he has been able to take up the
work again and Bethel people and those
in the vicinity will gladly give express
sion of appreciation and sympathy by
making this rare concert success by
filling Odeon Hall. 1t is very kind
thought of Prof. Chapman to give this
testimonial to Prof. Wight, also to
afford Bethel people the opportunity of
listening to the very best talent. As an
expression of sympathy for Prof. Wight
and courtesy to Prof. Chapman. the
presence of an appreciative audience
will be the truest index. Z.
