Drew. Perry

A charming home wedding took place
on the evening OF October 16, when Miss
Mabelle Louise, daughter OF A. B. Perry,
was married to Herbert Stephen Drew OF
Boston, son of Rev. Stephen F. Drew OF
Waterbury. The fine old colonial home
OF the bride lent itself readily to artistic
decoration, the color scheme being white
and green in the long parlor, frightened
by soft tones of autumn leaves massed IN
the deep alcove beyond and about the
piano. White carnations and knots OF
white ribbon gave the touch OF dellcacy
needed to complete the effect OF the ropes
of green and white with which the room
was hung Red was the prevailing color
10 the dining room; ropes of ground pine
were festooned from the center OF the
ceiling to the corners OF the room while
smilax wound with red ribbons dropped
! to the central table and was caught here
and there with red carnations. Masses
| of these rich hued carnations in contrast
with the delicate green and pure white
added much to the artistic effect.
| The wedding ceremony took place at
eight o'clock. Gowned in ivory-white
satin carrying a boquet of lilies OF the
valley, her veil caught in place by sprays
of the same flowers, the bride entered the
parlor on her fathers arm, to the strains
of the wedding march from Lohengritl
PLAYED bv Miss Isabelle Paddock OF st.
Johnsbury. Preceding the bride came
maid of honor in pink with white carna-
tions, her sister, Miss Virginia Perry. The
bridegroom attended by his brother,
Dwight Drew, met the bride beneath the
high arChway between parlor and alcove
and there the ceremony was performed
The offic ating clergymen were Rev. E.
P. Drew, and his father, Rev. Stephen F.
Drew. During the evening refreshments
