SURPRISE D1NCE.
Ten Boys Give f. II. Whittier Send
Off. lie Leaves Monday.


The Knights of Columbus hall was
the scene Of gaiety on Friday evening
when about ninety of the young peo-
pie of Montpelier gathered together
for dance in honor of Fred II. Whit
tier, who will leave on Monday for
Leipsic, Germany, to study violin.
There is an old saying to the effect
that the easiest way to reach mans
heart is through his stomach; this
theory, however has been supplanted
by more modern one embodied in
the expression. 81 would rather dance
, than eat Working upon this latter
theor,, more sentiments and, to say
the least, less subject to comment in
that the old theory might be qualified
| by al adjective made up from the
name of an animal the rendering of
which has made Swift and Armour
famous, the committee of boys whose
idea 1t was chose surprise dance.
II free aud easy atmosphere devoid
Of any inclination bordering on the
opposite of naturalness, good music
and pleasant associations have any
, thing to do with enjoyment, it was
certainly most pleasant occasion and
all were glad to wish the one who has
so often helped to guide the feet
through many dance, by bow and
violin, all possible success, believing
he has promising future in store for
him This idea was prettily por-
trayed in the decorations. On one side
of tie hall was all arrangement of
flags and bunting in which the motto
shone out Success to Fred. " The
entire hall was we'll decorated and
had an exceedingly cosy appearance.
The dance cards contained fifteen
numbers-siX values, five two-steps,
two schottisches. one Portland fancy,
one Newport, and two extras. During
! intermission G.. II. Wilder played
flute solo which was loudly encored.
| The clear tones of his instrument then
rang out the strains of "The Wearing
of the Green" with an improvision
characteristic of him. He again
responded with another verse The
| gathering then repaired to the parlor
where hashlight group picture was
taken by j (. Leland, Enough were
present so that there was little sign of
a background to the arrangements.
They then went back to the hall and
the merry hours fled so rapidly that
the party was 10th to break up about
IL 80 O'Clock, when the strains of the
Dream waltz died away.
The committee which arranged and
gave the dance was made up as fol-
lows: Richard Fitzgerald, f. W.
Bancroft. Harold Pierce, Miles Stand
ish, Lee Whitney, Alanson Shepard,
Claude Fisher, Carroll Pitkin, Roy
Kingsbury and Douglas Barclay.
George Smith made an excellent
presiding judge at the punch bowl.
The punch, which was excellent,
was the production of George Me
grath. The orchestra was made up
of Messrs. g. H. Wilder, Edwin
Bruce, Harry Weber. Lyle Perry,
Bernard Marshall and Karl Forsell.

A Brilliant Marriage.

One of the brilliant marriages of
the year occurred at 10 o'clock yester-
day, June 80, when Miss Mary,
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Barney
Austad, and Mr.. David johnson,
were united in the bonds of matri-
monY. The ceremony took place at
the Whitewood church, the pastor,
Rev. Thorson, of Vienna, performing
the service. The church was filled
with the relatives and friends, all Of
whom afterwards adjourned with the
happy pair to the home of the
brides parents, where preparations
had been made for their reception.
Here they sat down to the wedding
dinner, and did full justice to a re-
past that was tempting and bount-
eous. There were about three hum
dred guests present. A large mum
Der of presents, some of them cost
~, and all telling Of the esteem of
their friends for the happy pair,
were brought by the guests as me-
mentoes of the occasion.
Both of the young people are too
well known to need an introduction
to our readers, being residents in this
locality, and general favorites where
ever known. The bride is a daughter
Of B. Austad, and has lived in this
neighborhood since childhood, aud
has hosts OF friends who wish her
much Joy in her new relations. The
groom is a prosperous and progress
sive young farmer, aud a man who
holds the respect and esteem of all
who know him, and is bound 10
make a success wherever he is. Mr..
and Mrs. Johnson have the best
wishes of all their friends fora long
and very happy union, and in this
wish the writer heartily joins Ar
lington Sun.
