A very pretty wedding took place
last Wednesday evening at eight
o'clock at the home Of Mrs. Angus
tus Williams, when her younger
daughter, Ethel Hazel, was united
in marriage to Fenton Stevens
Morse. The bridal party entered the
parlor to the strains of Lohengrin's
wedding march, which was played by
Miss Ethel Bagby. The ceremony
was performed beneath a bower of
evergreen by Rev. j. f. Schneider.
The bride was very daintily gowned
/ in white satin messaline with an
over-dress of embroidered net trim
med with Swallowed lace and silk
! fringe and roses. She wore a veil,
which was caught with a bandeau of
pearls and carried a bouquet of
brides roses. The dining room was
trimmed in asparagus With red ber-
ries and the gift room was done in
autumn leaves. Mrs. Asa Wesson
and Miss Ethel Bagby served ice
cream and cake from the dining
room and the wedding cake which
was tied with ribbon was passed by
Miss Vie Dole. There were many
/ beautiful gifts including silver, cut
glass, linen, china and sums of mon
ey. Mrs. Morse's going away suit
was of dark blue diagonal cloth with
white hat. Mr.. and Mrs. Morse left
on their wedding trip Immediately
after the ceremony for Boston and
Waltham, Mass, and will be at home
after Nov. 18th Those from out of
town to attend the wedding were
NTr L IF Tnh
bury and Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Morse
of Lyndon.
The treasurer's report at the an
nual meeting of the Village I'm
provement Association was not an
encouraging one; a balance of only
/ $46 remains, including the member
ship dues of $28. The balance would
have been next to nothing were it not
/ for gifts of $40 made last fall. This
is the lowest record of the Associa-
| ton. In order to do the work pro-
posed the membership must be in
creased and money raised by enter
tainments. The president read list
of receipts from entertainments dur
| ing the first ten years, which
amounted to $1,000, while the dues
were nearly double what they are
now. 1t is hoped that new interest
will be reused, especially among the
young people of the village in whose
interest the association hopes to
work.
