gusta and Earl Raymond Chadwick of
Boston were united in marriage at 100

brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. William
B. Fletcher. at 6 Winter street, and al
though the wedding was of a simple
home nature and witnessed only by
the relatives and few immediate
friends of the bride and groom, the
occasion was a very pretty one.
The house was prettily decorated in
honor of the occasion, the color scheme
being green ana white and the young
couple stood under an arch of the
same colors while the officiating
clergyman, Rev Henry E. Dunnack of
the Green street Methodist church,
pronounced the words which made
them man and wife. Miss Carrie NJ.
Bradford presided at the piano and
rendered the wedding march as the
bridal party entered the parlor where
the ceremony occurred.
The bride, who is of the brunette
type, looked very sweet in a gown of
white crepe de chine with lace drap-
cries and pearl trimmings and carried
a bouquet of white bride roses. while
her bridesmaid, Miss Dora Stubbs of
Augusta, wore a becoming gown of
yellow crepe de chine Her bouquet
was of yellow bride roses. The brides
going away costume was of brown
cheviot. Miss Marion Ruth White of
Bowdoinham, a niece of the bride, was
the flower girl. The groom was ac-
companied by Edward L. White Of
Bowdoinham as best man.

friends.

Youthful. Beautiful
Skin Easy to Haze

You may be as healthy as bird in the
air and still have a poor complexion.
Changing seasons and temperatures,
winds, dust and dirt, are apt to injure
any skin, even though the general health
be good When these external influences
spoil the complexion the natural thing
to remove the spoil by external means.
Ordinary mercolized wax will do this. 1t
will actually absorb the weather-beaten
film skin, little each day. In week or
two you'll have brand new complexion.
new skin. The exquisitely beautiful
and youthful complexion thus acquired,
comes so easily, without harm or dis
comfort there's no reason why any wo-
man should not adopt this simple treat
ment. Get an ounce of mercolized wax at
anw drug store, apply nightly like cold
cream, washing 1t off mornings. This
viii not fail in any case.
To quickly remove wrinkles, signs of
care and age, battle the face occasionally

The steamer Islander of the Angus
ia, Gardiner & Boothbay Steamboat
Co. made her last trip of the season
Monday and will not be seen along the
Kennebec river until another spring.
Owing to the heavy fog the steamer
did not leave her berth at the steam
boat wharf until $40 but the fog dis
appeared shortly after that hour and
she had a good run down the river. AS
she passed the mill of the Augusta
Lumber Co. the big whistle at the mill
gave her parting salute, to which she
responded and this exchange Of eour-
tesies constituted the closing feature
of the season. The Islander went di-
rect to Boothbay where the decks will
be painted and the machinery taken
apart and prepared for the winter. aft
er which she will be lowed to Deeker's
cove Southport, where she will lie un-
til another spring. 1t is expected that
the work to be done at Boothbay will
require about two weeks.

HORSE MEAT IN MONTREAL
providence Lonrnal.N


Free meat under the new tariff ma,
not be such good thing for Canada
after all. The discovery has just beer
made in Montreal that horses are be.
ing killed for food and the meat
served in local restaurants. Since our
tariff went into operation the prices
of meats have scared so high that the
poorer classes in Montreal find prices
beyond their reach. Outside abat-
oirs not being under government in
spection, they began to buy old
horses, which they slaughtered and
cut up for food Brought into Mon
treal as plain beef" and sold at SO
much lower prices than other meats,
horse flesh has been freely bought by
the poorer classes. 1t Is said that
even some hotels have been serving
juicy steaks to their customers that
came from the best cuts of old, brok-
en-down Dobbins. When the board
of health was appealed TO to stop the
practice the reply was made that it
was utterly helpless to prevent the
sale of horse meat. 1t is said that
inspectors have been unable to tell
the carcasses of the horses. after the
bone has been extracted from those
of good beef cattle
