HERE are two weddings on the
social calendar for today-one in
town and one in Paris. There is
more than usual interest in both
events The marriage of Miss Florence
breckenridge and Thomas Hesketh will
take place at the English Episcopal
church in Paris and will be attended
with simplicity, according to the re-
ports received by the friends of the
bride elect in this city. Only members
of the two families and a small number
of intimate friends will be present.
There will be a wedding breakfast
later at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
erick Sharon. 1t will be some time
probably before the young couple will
visit here, but Mr.. and Mrs. Sharon are
expected home in the latter part of
next month.

Lucie King and Lawrence Harris. The
ceremony Will be performed at o'clock
at the home of the brides parents. Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph L. King, in Washing
ton street. and the officiating clergy
man will be Rev Father McQuaide. The

Simpson as maid of honor, and Miss
Ethel Dean as bridesmaid, while Joseph

Pike There will be an elaborate re-
ception and wedding supper after the
ceremony.
Mr.. and Mrs. Burke Corbet have an
nounced the engagement of their eldest
daughter. Miss Mary Corbet, to Lewis
Edward Hanchett, and the news will be
of more than local interest, since the
bride elect has many friends and her
fiance is one of the we'll known rail-
road owners in the southern part of the
state. The date for the wedding is not
announced, but 1t viii take place some
time this season.
Mr. and Mrs. Peter Martin, who have
been at Newport since their return this
summer after an extended residence in
Paris, will remain in the east for this
month or probably until later in the
season. 1t is said they will return to

dinners that will precede the dance
