The marriage of Miss Margaret Tor
ry to Mr. John Benton Fassett at the
Hotel Jermyn on Wednesday was an
event which attracted much interest.
1t was an unusually beautiful wedding
with an especially attractive bride.
Miss Julia Pettigrew was maid of
honor.
A feature of the affair was the pres
ence of the Spinster club of which the
bride is member, which organization
long existed with the avowed purpose of
social enjoyment but with the actual
result of doing much in a quiet way for
charity and making the world brighter.
This is the fifth marriage among the
Spinsters. Simply to be married does
not destroy ones usefulness as a
Spinster in this delightful club. One
of their pretty customs is to give each
bride n set of lovely and costly spoons
Of a special design, made to order in
the meadow pattern.
