FARNswoRrH- PHILLIPS.

A wedding that was rather unique In
the manner OF its arrangement was cele-
brated at the home OF Guilford NJ. Farms
| day afternoon. 1t was altogether fitting
that the decorations should be 90 suggest
| i've of the Pine Tree State. The bride was
Miss Alice B. Farnsworth, and the groom
was DR.. George A. Phillips, formerly Of
Hancock, but now having his main Office
in West Sullivan, where he is practising
dentist.
The parlor, hall, sitting and dining
rooms were prettily decorated. From the
centre OF each room hung q cluster OF pine
cones, and reaching from these were fes-
toons to the corners Of the room made up
Of pine spills, while over the windows and
doors the green was massed very effec-
lively. Golden-glow made the hall Q
veritable bower OF green and gold. Gold
en-rod predominated in the dining-room,
and the sitting-room and parlor were
beautiful with profusion OF sweet peas
upon the pines which made background
that was all that could be desired. The
doorway between the rooms last men,
toned was transformed into an arch by
a skillful massing of green, and under
this arch the couple took their places dur
ing the marriage service. The decorations
were suggested and executed by Clarence
w. Wiley, OF Cherryfield, assisted by
David Bruce and Bernard Small.
The hour for the ceremony was o'clock,
and at that time the bridal possession
moved into the parlor to the familiar
strains Of Mendelsohn's wedding march,
finely rendered by Miss Louise Hawkins.
Four OF the six bridesmaids were cousins
OF the bride-Misses Sarah, Ruth, Frances
and Florence Mitchell, of Cherryfeid, and
two near friends-Misses Maud Colby and
Henrietta Simpson. The BRIDES sister,
Miss Ada Farnsworth, was the maid Of
honor, while DR.. Harvard Crabtree, Of
Hancock, did the honors as best man.
The bride was attractively gowned in
dress OF cream satin with lace bolero and
| bridal veil, and carried shower bouquet
OF bride roses. She was escorted by her
father, who gave her away. The cere-
| mony was solemnized by Rev. p. A. A.
Kiilam, OF Ellsworth, using the single
ring service. Congratulations were next
| in order, after which delicious refresh
ments were served by the bridesmaids.
A feature of the occasion was the divid-
| ing OF the bride cake among the brides
| maids. Miss Farnsworth got the piece in
| which was the thimble, Miss Simpson the
| ring, and Miss Florence Mitchell the piece
of money, after which they were showered
with the brides bouquet.
| There were many gifts, some OF them
| costly, all of them useful and pretty, in
| dicating the high esteem and best wishes
Of host of friends. That the happy
l SOdpiC was SHlltlcu 10 Luo UCst VI SOOu
things was indicated by the fact that
! there were only Ave cream ladies among
| the presents.
Mrs. Phillips is graduate OF the Uni
| versity Of Maine, and taught last year in
| the Brewer high school. DR.. Phillips
| graduated from the University OF Mary
land. Both are deservedly popular. Their
departure for a wedding trip was strictly
| up to date, gaily decorated automobile
with cabbage and confetti generously
added, figuring in the hilarious farewell.
