 MISS BENNETF-MR WHALEY. ..
 The marriage of lMlss Lillie May Bennett, daughter of MT and Mrs w. 3. Bennett, of Maple Avenue, and Clarence l. Whaley, of Danbury, took place, Wednesday, September 29, in Albany, N. Y., soon after the couples arrival in that city. Rev Lewis Mar shall LounsDury, a former pastor of the Methodist EpiscOpal church of Bethel, ofliciated. The young people are well known and popular among large circle of friends, both in Bethel and Danbury, and their hearty congratulations Will De extended for their future happiness. despite the
 fact that they tried to keep their marriage a secret even from those
 most intimate with them. Their plans were well laid, but, "the best
 laid plans O mice and men, gang oft a gley," and so it pluved in this case, as the story well shows While the
 friends of the couple knew that the
 wedding day was near, they could
 elicit no information from either the
 bride or groom to be as to their plans.
 The air of mystery thrown about the
 affair was most tantalizlna, .: u Lf,
 friends determined to watch and
 await and be even with them in the
 end. Wednesday morning it was
 learned that the bride had left her
 home and it was at once surmised
 that they would take a morning
 train; accordingly a small party of their friends which " Id have ben considerably increased had the facts been known, waited at the Danbury station during the morning hours, but no bride ana groom appeared and it seemed as if they had indeed eluded them, but by lucky chance just before the 1v.45 Pittsfield ex- press pulled out, the party learned that an automobile had conveyed the missing ones to Brookfiel- Junction where they would take the train which was just about to leave the White street station. On learning this, they hastily boarded the train and went to meet them. The utter surprise of the couple when the train stopped at the Junction and the merryr akers cohf 'nnte lhenl. can be imagined. After most thoroughly showering the couple with confetti, they were allowed to continue their tourney in peace, but their friends are stil laug ling at their sucress in their plans. The young people on their return will reside with the grooms parents on the Brushy Hill road until Lleir new house, which is now being built, is in readiness for them. They will be at nome after October 15. Mrs Wha- eey has for some time been employed as stenographer in the insurance office of George c. Stevens & Son, in Danbury. MT Wnaley is an employe of Norman & Rice, plumbers, in Danbury.
