on Bayview st. was the scene of a very
pretty home wedding last Wednesday
evening. The contracting parties were
Mr.. Arthur Leroy Bean of Barton and
Miss Grace, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Kendrick Richmond of this place. Owing
to the poor health of the brides mother
only the relatives and a few intimate
friends were present. The rooms were
tastetully decorated with evergreen fes-
| toons mingled with asparagus foliage,
frightened with goldenrod and the vivid
red berries of the mountain ash tree.
Shortly after eight O'Clock the wedding
party descended the stairs preceded by a
guard of honor. This consisted of little
Alma Hollen borg and Marjorie Tinkham,
carrying each one end of an evergreen rope,
| while at the other end were Charley
Hollenborg and Paul French. The
children separated little and between
them the wedding party filed: the groom
and his best man, Mr.. Fred Richmond
the bridesmaid, Miss Helen Richmond ;
and the bride, leaning on her fathers
arm. Miss Marjorie Batchelder was at
the piano and played Mendelsohn's We'd
ding March. Rev. A. F. Macgregor per-
form ed the ceremony modified Episcopal
form, including an exchange of rings.

wedding party drove away amid a shower
of confetti and good wishes. Their home
will be in Barton, where Mr.. Bean is
teller in the national bank, and Mrs. Bean
having taught school there several terms,
