A TIN WEDDING.
Or. and Mrs. Buh Mitchell Celebrate the
Tenth Anniversary Of Their Marriage.

fs ~h0 o'ohe VI bn6 season, was tn0
verdict of all who were so fortunate as
TO attend the tin wedding Of DIR. and
Mrs. Burt Mitchell at their beautiful
homo, "Halehurst," Friday evening,
February Id, 1902. Over one hundred
invitations had been sent out to kinfolks
and friends to participate in the glad
event, but much to the disappointment
of all, when the time arrived keen
northeast wind was blowing, heavily
laden with fast falling snowfakes. Moth
ing daunted over fifty braved the ele-
ments, each one bearing the genial Doc
tor and his charming wife some token of
their affection and good will in the shape
of tin. If they should be 40 fortunate as
to live to celebrate their golden wedding
the Doctor will not be called on to buy
any more tin-they have enough and to
spare.
The hostess, becomingly gowned in
pink albatros with real lace; was looking
her best, as she mixed and mingled
amongst her guests with the ease and
grace characteristic of her. The Doctor
affirmed that he felt just as young and
fine looking as he did ten years ago. AS
we looked on his genial beaming face we
could but agree that time had dealt
kindly with him. A unique feature of
the entertainment was the registering of
all the guests on two large tin hearts,
faced with ruled paper and beautifully
| decorated.
After music and games, all were
ushered into the spacious dining room,
ablaze with light and artstically deco
rated with tinsel, where elegant refresh
ments were served, consisting of crack
ers, salads, pickles, cheese straws, cakes,
fruit and ices.
The presents werepumerous and costly.
Among them we noticed a handsome
solid silver syrup pitcher and plate,
eight pieces of genuine Delft enameled
ware, four aluminium dolly rings, souve-
