-HE wedding OF Miss Phyllis Moul-
ton and Charles Merrill will take
place at $3.50 Thursday evening in
the First Unitarian church, the
ceremony being performed by Rev.
Bradford Leavitt. The bride will wear
a gown of white satin, elaborately
trimmed with duchesse lace, and the
customary tulle veil. Her bridal bou-
quet will be a shower of white orchids
and lilies of the valley. The maid of
fhonor, Miss Alysse Warner, will wear
pink satin with a wreath of gold leaves
in her hair and will carry pink roses
Two matrons of honor, Mrs. Louis
Pierce and Mrs. Leonard Hammond, will
take the place of the usual bridesmaids.
Their dresses will be of pale yellow
satin, and they also will wear gold
wreaths in their hair. Mr.. MerrilFs
little niece, Miss Frances Merrill, will
be the ring bearer. Ralph Merrill
will be the best man, and the ushers
will be Leonard Hammond. Arthur
Hooper, Roger Topp and Carl Wolff.
The church decorations will consist
of masses of pink and white tiger
lilies. 1t is a matter of great regret
to members of both families that the
wedding is to be so very quiet-only
relatives and a very few friends hav-
ing been hidden to the church-and also
that there will be no reception as was
originally planned. But. owing to the
severe illness of Mrs. MerrilFs mother.
Mrs. Sroufe, it has been decided to ceie-
brate with as little ceremony as pos
sible. The destination of the honey
moon is. being kept secret, and 1t will
probably extend over month.
Ansel M. Easton will leave shortly
for the east, where he will combine
business and pleasure on a trip which
will last until after the first of the
new year.

two of the most attractive girls in the

morrow for New York, where they will
