son, Esq, conveyed the clubs good wishes
to Mr.. and Mrs. Tewksbury and welcomed
the bride 10 the club circle. Rev. Homer
White discoursed on "LOve," which
a a -. L. . a.
casion. Hon. V. /. Spear gave "A Bene-
diets Reflection and spoke feelingly Of
the trials OF the club in the past to con-
vince Mr.. TewKsbury Of the ACCESSIBILITY
Of the step he has now taken. As an
irresistible inducement for him 10 forsake
bachelorhood, the clerical members Of the
club had offered him their services, to be
freely rendered at any time. Mr.. Spear
also referred to the friendly coercion of
his own bachelor days, when the state
senate, OF which he was a member, took
his case in hand and passed law that he
should be married within year. Like a
good, law abiding citizen, he was mar
ried within the year; though, as a matter
of fact, legislative enactment was not
really needed. Hints on Housekeeping
from l.. B. johnson contained many a tip
for the skillful trimming Of sails to meet
any threatened ruffiing OF the matrimo-
nial sea. He urged the groom to acquaint
himself early with the uses OF the dish
cloth and wiping towel and to refrain
from too frequent reference to "Mother's
cooking he advised him to eat what
was set before him, ''asking no questions
for conscience sake, or, il he couldn't eat
il, TO slide IL into his pocket, ratt er than |
leave it, like an accusing witness, behind |
him.
In behalf OF the club, President Wilson |
presented to Mr.. and Mrs. Tewksbury
handsome solid siker, gold-hned loving |
cup, eight inches high and on an ebony |
standard. II has two handles and bears /
this inscription -"Presented to Mr.. and /
Mrs. T.. w. Tewksbury by the University |
club Of Randolph, October twenty-first,
nineteen hundred and FOUR
Mr.. Tewksbury, in his reply, admitted /
hat for five years he had been the only /
bachelor in the club and had, so 10 speak, |
gloried in his shame. Like the puppy /
hat chewed and tore to pieces its mistress
sunday bonnet. he must be excused on the /
ground that he didn't know any better.
The bride, who bore herself with charm
ing grace and dignity, wore her wedding /
gown of white muslin, and at this initial
won for herself place in the re-
gard Of her husbands friends.
