march from Mendelssohn added to the
pleasure of the occasion. Appropriate
boquets were carried by all those so
supposed to carry boquets. while the
little ushers dressed up to the mines
acted with as much Importance and
dignity as may be expected of real
ushers at a real wedding.
Following the actual wedding there
was a reception of the guests and in
addition to the refreshments that were
served, several of the little tots sang.
recited, and one little girl played vio-
lin while still another danced the High

Then Manager O'Grady swung a
number of moving pictures on the
screen, one of which THE Story of the
Three Bears" pleased the little folks
immensely. while the other, his spe-
cial Sunday feature "A Million Bid" did
as much for the other folks present
The whole affair was given for the

". W. BECKWITH EXALTED RULER
Elected For Next Term by Norwich Lodge of EkRecord Gain in Membership Under E. R. John H. Carney Plans For Building Addition Going Institution of Wiinantic Lodge by Special Train.

Willimantic would be held on March 30, and A. s. Spalding, L. E. Millea and W. w. Beckwith were named as a committee of three to make the ar rangements for attending the cere- mony. The trip will be made by spe- ciaI train in conjunction with New London lodge and both lodges will take bands of music with them. The trip both ways will be made by the special train.
 The committee appointed to procure plans for a proposed new addition to the Elks' home had three sets on hand for the consideration of the members with one set that they recommended from the three
 The plan that was favored by the committee provided for an addition to be built across the rear of the pres ent building at a probable expense of about S25,000. It would be of brick, and be two stories high above the base ment. Its general dimension would be about 95 feet long by 40 feet deep On the basement floor the land would be excavated behind the present rathskel- lar for the full width of the proposed addition and that floor would provide for room, 41xS0 for social sessions where 250 could be seated. This would open directly into the present rathskel- lar. The buffet would be moved from its present location to a position in the addition on this floor on the west or pOStof1ce side or the building and there would be a kitchen adjoining. On the Park street side of this floor would be a heater room.
 There would be a change in the en- trance to the rathskeller, as this would be moved around to the other side of the building from it's present location,
 On the main floor of the addition IS space for five pool and billiard tables and for two bowling alleys. The room where these are planned for will con- meet by wide openings with the present parlor on one side and the music room on the other.
 The lodge room, 40 by 75, is provided for on the second floor, and this floor of the addition will have no connec- tion with the present second floor of the building except through the guard room, which is at the west end of this floor. Adjacent to the guard room which IS 10x19. are a committee room 14x19, and a candidates room. 10x19. One of the other suggested plans provides for a hall larger than any at present in the city and would cost ! about double what the plan preferred by the committee would cost, it iE estimated.
