The wedding took place on Wednesday,
July 81, 1909, at the home of the brides
parents, Mr.. and Mr.. and Mrs. G. W..

mony was performed by Rev. R. A.
Folke.
The bride was attired in a travelling
suit of blue with hat and gloves to match
and carried a-bouquet of lilies of the
valley and bride roses. The maid Of
honor was Miss Gussie Parrott, q sister
of the bride.
The best man was F. K. Carbon, of Nor
folk. Miss Louise Carbon, acted as ring
bearer and the wedding march was rend-
cred by Miss Elizabeth Carbon, both cous-
ms of the bride. The bride received
several beautiful and costly presents.
Rev. and Mrs. Rutherford left at once
for Washington whence they came to
Philadelphia, thence to PENIS Grove.

CHRISTMAS GIFT

Mrs. VIM. X. Vanderbilt
KNOWS that 1t is more blessed
to give than to receive at Christ
mas time.
On last Christmas morning this
woman opened an envelope which
she found under her plate at the
breakfast table. It contained
check for $1,000. 900 signed by
her husband-Vanderb is one
of the richest men in the world.
and giving a million is to him
what giving hundred is to the
average salaried man.
He did not suggest what use his
wife should make of the money.
She Immediately decided. at the
breakfast table, 1t is said. to turn
her gift over to a number of less
fortunate people. She got into
communication with DR.. Henry
M. Shively. tuberculosis expert.
and during the year they have de-
signed what is known as sanitary
apartments for consumptives.
These buildings are now being
|erected with the $1,00O.O0O
Christmas money. The idea is to
build in New York tenements
provided with balconies and roof
gardens where victims of the
great white plague may breathe In
the fresh air.
