FOR WINTER AMUSEMENT
An Unexcelled Program is in
Preparation al Present.

Some time ago the REPORTER pub
lished an article regarding the an
amusement offered the public for the
coming winter. AT that time the an
nouncement of the program for the
long months of cold, snowy evenings
had not been completed, but it is
known now, that there will be no
lick of entertainment.
Manager James Hamilton, of the
Grand, has arranged for a series of
excellent entertainments, in the
nature of lecturers and musica reats
that are said TO be equal to. if not
superior to, the ones put on by the
Methodist church last winter. They
are all Lyceum numbers and are the
very best that could be selected. In
addition to these Mr.. Hamilton has
booked some excellent theatrical en-
gagements which will be well received
by the theatre going public.
For those who love musical enter
tainments, Prof. Bliss has arranged a
series of five concerts to be given by
the Grand Rapids city band, during
the winter months. These entertain
ments promise to be well patronized,
and cheerfully received by the musical
people OF this city.
Already the dance numbers are be-
ginning to be advertised. Thursday
the first one of the season took
place at the Grand, and on Oct. 18th,
the First Annual Ball of the Grand
Rapids Letter Carriers will take place
This promises to be one of the most
enjoyable dances of the season, and
every effort is being made to make it
a success

Mr.. and Mrs. w. S. Beaupre. and

at the residence of the brides parents
in South Lincoln avenue
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. William A. Colledge in the pres
ence of one hundred and fifty rela-
tiyeS and friends.
The Beaupre home lends itself well
to decoration and the green and
white was effective. Quantities OF
white roses were used with masses of
asparagus fern. the blossoms having
every appearance OF growing from the
background of green. The service
was said beneath pretty canopy of
the roses, the background in the
feathery fern.
An interesting feature connected
with the wedding was the fact that
the bride was surrounded by many
relatives, number of her own age.
that her bridesmaids were all college
mates at Smith college, that. her own
sister was matron Of honor, and that
her wedding day was her fathers
birthday.
The ribbons were stretched by Mrs.
Frank Belden of Chicago, cousin,
and Mrs. John Harre of Fort Dodge,
Iowa. Mrs. Belden, who was former
ly Miss Hazel Haring, and Mrs.
Harre, remembered as Miss Margaret
Mason, were also Smith college
friends, were both recently married
and both wore their wedding gowns.
Miss Georgina Kellogg of Helena,
Montana, and Miss Gertrude Comey
of Worcester, Mass, i'm handsome
gowns OF pink and white, pompadour
silk batisti, and carrying large bou-
quetS of pink roses walked first,
after whom came the matron of hon
or, Mrs. Chas, Powell, also wearing
picturesque gown of pink and
white.
The bride in an exquisite gown of
white satin, trimmed with filmy lace,
and carrying a shower banquet of
lilies OF the valley, was met beneath
the canopy by the groom, with his
best man, George Booth of Chicago.
Both the professional and recessional
marches were played by Miss Alice
Doty.
Later wedding supper was served
in the dining room, also charming in
green and white, Morse of Chicago
having catered.
Music was furnished throughout
the evening by Denney's orchestra,
and later in the evening when the

The Compulsory Educational
Law Now More Rifid.

1t may not be generally known to
the people of Grand Rapids that by
action of the last session of the legis-
lature, the compulsory educational
| law was made more effective. The
disposition on the part of many par
ents to keep children out of school
| for trivial reasons, and the unrighte-
Gus desire of some to make money
out of little children caused the legis-
| lature to strengthen the law. By the
provisions of sections 446 any parent

ages of and IA or one between the
ages of IA and Is not legally employed,

Imprisonment in the county jail for
not more than three months for each
such offense.
| The attendance at school must be
regular, and by regular attendance
the statute specifically says twenty
days for each school month unless ah-
sent with legal excuse.
The law makes it obligatory upon
teachers, school officers and officers OF

Failure on the part of said authorities
to enforce the truancy law makes
them liable to fine. Complaint may
be lodged by any citizen and one-halt
of the fine goes to the person making
the complaint.
The truancy law will be enforced
in this city. And any persons having

Immediately and keep them there
Failure to do so will subject them tc
