Jeweu-Clark.

Guests to the number of eighty or
river towns of Madison, Skowhegan
and Fairfield, assembled at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. J. P. Clark on
Madison avenue, Thursday evening
of last week, to participate in the
wedding festivities and to witness
the ceremony joining Ralph Albert
this place in the bonds of matrimony.
Master Emery Dyer, the ten year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. F. Dyer, met
the guests at the doorway, and they
were received by Miss Mollie Mars
ton, Mrs. Alice Gledhill and Mrs.
Helen Wing, the latter sister of the
bride. The house had been elabor-
ately decorated for the event. Ever
green twined the stair rail and deco
rated the walls of the hall, and smi
lax, chrysanthemums and roses
adorned the parloi where the cere-
mony was performed.
The wedding march was played by
Miss Edith Lewis and at few min
utes past seven the bride entered the
parlor, escorted by her father and
attended by Miss Edna Page, as
bridesmaid. The bride was attired
in white crepe de chene over white
silk and carried bouquet of lilies of
the valley. Miss Page wore blue silk
and carried bouquet of pink chrys
anthemums. They were met under a
wedding bell of white pinks by the
groom and his best man, Mr.. Carl
Piper of Fairfield, and the ceremony,
the single ring service, was perform
ed by Rev. B. B. Merrill of the Island
Avenue Congregational church. Miss
Lucille Wing, the six year old niece
of the bride, attended the wedding
party as ring bearer.
After a period of congratulations
the company were invited to the din
ing room where dainty refreshments
were served by E. K. Delano, the pop
ular caterer. While the guests were
thus engaged the newly welded
couple were making preparations for
departure, much speculation being
INDUCED in, but very little being
known about their method of con-
veyance or their point of destination.
The guests were not disposed to allow
them to escape unnoticed and when
they finally made their appearance,
ready for travelling, they compelled
them to enter an automobile, which
had Just come to take some of the
wedding company home, and they
were given brief ride about the
northern part of the town which was
not down on the program. Afterwards
they were allowed to take their de-
parture by car bound northward on
the Somerset Traction line. 1t was
subsequently learned that they went
to Indian Pond Camps for their hon
eymoon and that they will return to
occupy their home on Western ave
nue. in Fairfield early next week.
The bride is one of Skowhegan's
popular young ladies', the youngest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John P.
Clark. Until recently she has been
employed at the Skowhegan ex
change of the Maine telephone com
pany. The groom Is native of Fair
field, graduate of Coburn Classical
