provement Society's Old Home Week recep-
! tiOn was held in Memorial Hall Tuesday
afternoon from to 5 O'Clock. The hall was
| attractvely decorated with small pine trees
and gOldenrod-the State emblem and the
national flower. The color scheme of green
and gold was carefully adhered to, and the
artistic effect unusually good. Masses OF
golden glow and asparagus were used, and
the stage was carpeted with golden rod.
The reception committee consisted of Mayor
John r. Dunton and his sister, Miss Mar
garet A. Dunton; the president of the I'm
provemeut Society, Mrs. Charles Bradbury,
and vice presidents Mrs. H. II. johnson
and Mrs. Freeman NJ. Wood. Mrs. Geo. E.
Bracket and Miss Maude f. Barker acted
as ushers. Ices and cake were served by a
number of young ladies, and there was a
large attendance of toWnspeople and viSi-
tors. Many pleasant acquaintance were
renewed, old friends exchanged cordial
greetings, and new acquaintanceships were
formed. The affair was a complete success
in every respect.
\ DARK iIARBoR WEDDING. The cabin
launch Physalia Of Boston landed a young
lady and gentleman at the Dickey Bros

for Il livery stable to get carriage to take

from the steamboat wharf, and soon after
a carriage arrived and took them and their
baggage, which had been put ashore from
TN O nd
later that the couple had been married at
high noon in the church at Dark Harbor,
and that the young man who accompanied
them, and who returned to Dark Harbor in
the launch, was a brother of the groom.
The Boston journal of Aug. 14th has this
bit of society gossip:
Although they were booked to return
two weeks ago, DR.. and Mrs. George B.
Shattuck of Beacon street did not reach
town until the Republic docked. They are,
however, quite in season to attend the mar
riage of their niece, Miss Elizabeth Shat
tuck of Marlboro street and Islesboro, to
Henry Bigelow of Commonwealth avenue
and Cohasset, which bids fair to be a very
delightful and fashionable event.
