Kinerson-McLean.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Russell
B. Emerson of Peacham was the
scene of an exceedingly pretty we'd
ding, Monday, Sept. 10, when their
second daughter, Ellen Lucy, was
united in marriage to Norman
Campbell Mclean of st. Johnsbury.
Promptly at five o'clock to the strains
of Lohengrin's wedding march play
ed by Miss Anna Blanchard, the we'd
ding party entered the parlor. First
came the little twin cousins Of the
bride, Carleton and Julian Batten,
carrying garlands to form an arch
for the wedding party; next came
the flower girls, Jean EMERSON and
Mary Batten, also cousins of the
bride, carrying white asters, followed
by the groom and his best man, Hen
ry Folsom of ST. Johnsbury, and last
came the bride and bridesmaid, Miss
May Emerson. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. J. K. Williams in
the presence of about so guests.
The bride looked very lovely in her
gown of white China silk over white
taffeta, trimmed with bands of en-
broidered net 1t was made high
girdle effect. She carried a bouquet
of white asters. Her travelling dress
was new salmon, trimmed with
black with hat to match. The
bridesmaid was gowned in light blue
with ecru lace trimmings, made
princess, and her bouquet was pink
asters. It was an aster wedding and
quantities of the beautiful favorites
were extensively used. The house
was beautifully decorated for the
occasion, the dining-room being in
blue wood asters. The sitting room
and room where the presents were
displayed were in sumacs and the
hall and parlor yellow and white.
The parlor was especially pretty,
| the corner where the ceremony took
place being banked with spruce and
golden rod, with a bouquet of yell
low dahlias over head. The re-
mainder of the room was also taste
fully trimmed with the same. After
| the ceremony refreshments were
served in the dining room, the we'd
ding cake was passed and the bride
cake, which was made by the bride
herself. Misses Sue Williams, Maude
Guthrie, Mabel Chandler, Mr.. and
Mrs Charles Stewart, Ray EMERSON
and Harlan Renfrew assisted in the
dining room Minnie EMERSON as
| sisted in the dressing room. The
| bridegroom gift to the bride was
a valuable watch, and to his best
| man a stick pin. The brides gift
| to her bridesmaid was an opal ring.
| The presents were numerous and
costly and included silverware, a
| large part of which was solid, several
cut glass dishes, some beautiful old
| ivory china, other china pieces, linen,
wool bed blankets, pictures, choco-
late set and money. Mrs. Mclean
is one of Peacham's most popular
young people, having a rare musical
10 civ ino he L
| ways been a pleasure to all who
have been privileged to hear it. She
will be much missed from the church,
the Sunday school, the choir and the
social life of the town. She was a
member of the class of 1908, but
! owing to i'll health at that time was
unable to complete the course. Mr..
| Mclean is well known here where
he has a music store. Both bride
| and groom have many friends who
| wish them much happiness. They
departed in. an automobile amid the
usual shower of rice and confetti,
