wednesday evening at the nome OF
the bride on Western avenue, occurred
the marriage of Miss Martha Benson
Thomas of Winthrop and Robert Web

Tie decorations were unusually at
trdctive. The parlor where the cere-
nOny took place was transformed with
a woodland bower by a great profu-
sion of autumn foliage, evergreen and
cut flowers TO carry out the effect
brilliantly coloreG leaves We're strewn
upon the floor and the effect was eX-
Ceedingly beautiful. The stairway, too
was trimmed with autumn foliage, and
in the bay window was formed an arch,
of the same rich-hued materials. Here
Rev. c. F. Sargent, pastor of the Con-
gregationaI church, awaited the we'd
ding party.
At s o'clock were heard the first
strains of 'Lohengrin's Wedding
