The Adams-Twltchell Wedding.

The Adams-Twitchell Wedding.
The hymeneal bells never pealed forth
more sweetly, nor did old Sol ever dart
his benefcent rays more graciously and
lovingly than on Tuesday, Sept a. when
the younger daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Twitchell, Adelaide Amelia. was
united in marriage with Harry Wayland
Adams of Windham. If the old saying
Happy the bride upon whom the sun
shines" is prophetic, surely Mrs Adams
is to be an unusually happy bride The
rooms were very prettily decorated in
separate colors. The hall and banlster
were roped with evergreen and inter-
woven with fine sprays of cut flowers,
and large bouquets and banks of golden
glow gave a very cheerful and pleasing
appearance. The double parlors were in
green and white, asters and maiden hair
being an effective part of the decorations.
Ropes of evergreen were suspended from
the ceiling of the four corners of both
parlors and caught in the centre with
white ribbon and clusters of white asters.
Every corner and nook was filed with
banks and bouquets of white asters. i'm
parting to the whole a very bridal"
effect.
The music room, where the gifts were
displayed, was decorated with ferns and
purple asters and the dining room with
dark pink asters and trailing vines, which
gave to these rooms very artistic APP
pearance.
At exactly 1890 o'clock the bridal party
descended the front staircase to the
strains of the bridal march from Lohen-
| grin, played by Mrs Phillips. The party
was led into the parlor by the ring
