Aug p, at the home OF Mr.. and Mrs. w.
b. Gould of South Royalton, their only

OF white geraniums and fell in graceful
folds TO the bottom Of her dress, which
lay in soft folds upon the carpet. In her
left hand, which was incased in white
silk glove, she carried white fan which
hung from her belt by a string of white
pearls. About her neck was clasped a
string OF gold beads, souvenir from her
grandmother. The bridegroom was neat
ly dressed in dark plaid suit.
The parlor, hall and dining room were
handsomely decorated with evergreen and
golden rod.

OF evergreen and golden rod which hung
from the center of the parlor, while the
Rev. Sherman Goodwin performed the
marriage ceremony and the ring was
placed upon the hand of the bride. 81 -

witches, cake, coffee and ice cream, the
brides cake being first cut by the hand OF

by all. -ga

presents in silver, linen, etc. "
