Hand--Ball.

A quiet wedding, but an exceedingly
pretty and impressive one, occurred Satur-
day morning, Oct. Is, 1908, at the home OF
DIR. and Mrs. M. M. Ball OF this village
when their daughter, Glendeen Lau-
renee, was united in marriage to Everett
Leroy Rand OF Brockton, Mass.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
s. II. Smith, pastor OF the NJ. e. church,
/ in the presence OF twenty guests, all OF
whom we're relatives with the exception
OF four young ladies, friends OF the bride,
who assisted.
The rooms were tasteiully decorated
with snowdrops, white sweet peas and as
paragus. In the parIor, where the cere-
mony was performed, the color scheme
was green and white, while in the dining
room the effect was frightened by cut
flowers Of other colors.
At o'clock the bridal pair entered the
parlor to the strains Of the wedding
march from Lohengrin, rendered by Miss
Addie swinyer. They were unattended
except for the ring bearer, Beryl Wing, a
little cousin OF the bride, who carried the
rings on the stem Of q BRIDES rose. Mr..
Smith met them beneath the arch OF as
paragus and snowdrops, where he spoke
the solemn words which united these two
lives in the hottest Of estates. The dou-
BILE ring service was used.
The bride wore a princess gown OF
white silk, trimmed with lace and medal
lions. The only sister OF the bride, Mrs.
Hugh Henry OF Maiden, Mass, was una
BILE to be present but all felt that she was
lovingly remembered since large picture
OF herself occupied a conspicuous place
near the bridal arch and was artistically
trimmed with green and white.
After the service and succeeding con-
gratulations, refreshments of ice cream
and cake were served in the dining room.
Above a dainty table in one corner was
suspended pure white bell, from which
we're festooned streamers of green and
white. On the table, which was taste
fully decorated with white sweet peas
and smilax, was the BRIDES cake, beauti-
fully ornamented for the occasion by
Mrs. Alma Ellis, cousin of the bride.
In the hall, where the green and white
decorations were also in evidence, was
another small table from which wedding
cake was dispensed by one OF the
mattresses just before the departure OF the
guests. Inc many ubelul huu Deautiiul
gifts, including china, linen and silver,
attested the high esteem in which the
young couple are held, especially those
given by the NJ. r. church. where for a
number OF years the bride has sung in the
choir and for the past two years rendered
valuable assistance with her violin. The
gifts from this source, which came as
such a pleasant surprise, were a large
rug, a silver butter knife, a half dozen
silver knives and forks and a half dozen
solid silver teaspoons engraved with her
initial
Not only will Mrs. Rand be missed in
her church and society but also among a
large circle OF friends, for her unusually
happy disposition has made her fsvorite
with all who knew her.

lege, Maine, and is now principal of the
high school in Kennebunkport, Me.
