She lives there in a tastefully ar

Woodrow Wilson and Mrs. Edith Boil

Galt's residence. early tonight.
While a crowd had congregated
around the residence and it took a
special patrol to keep the treets clear,
the ceremony passed off without in
cident and but a little glimpse did the
large crowd get of the president and
the new first lady of the land"
The president, although it was his
wedding day, spent an unusully busy
day He conferred and really started
work on his second note to Austria
and transacted other government bus

paid visit to Mrs. Gait, remaining at
the Gait residence for about half an
hour. He then returned to the White
House, and after the lunch hour dis
posed of large number of business
matters.
Only Few Present.
At the home of Mrs. Gait all plans

ample to hold them all. Messengers
poured in throughout the day bringing
presents, many of them costly ones.
When the hour approached for the
wedding eager crowds made their way
to the Gait home. The president ar
rived some time before the hour set
for the ceremony, and most of those
who witnessed the wedding dined at
the Gait residence at supper. Besides
the immediate members of the family
there were about half a dozen others
present, and the ceremony was quiet,

Smith, rector of St. Margaret's Prot

HOLIDAY TRADE
On IN EARNEST
SAY MERCHANTS
INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE
CHRISTMAS BUSINESS IN
BRUNSWICK WILL BE UP TO
THE STANDARD THIS YEAR.

Brunswick merchants, or a large
majority of them, were wearing
smile when they closed their places of
business last night.
The Christmas business is up to
the standard" That was about the
opinion of most of the merchants who,
some days ago, believed because of
1.-THE conditions existing recently, that
Christmas business would be away be-
low the usual this year.
The largest crowd of the holiday
season was out yesterday and last
night. In the afternoon the stores
were crowded with ladies and chill
dren, all busy doing their Christmas
shopping, and last night the laboring
ually large amount of money was
turned loose in the city yesterdy aft
ernoon. The Yaryan company paid off
something like eighty men, the city
| tdisbursed upwards of one thousand
dollars to its employees, the payrolls
along the bay were heavy, and conse-
quently there was much cash in cir
culation, which accounts for the state
kment made by merchants that partic
ularly all their business yesterday was
cash.
But the heavy holiday rush has not
/ started. With a full week before
Christmas the slow shoppers realized
Ethat they had plenty of time, conse
quently not until the middle of this
week will the heavy rush be on. To-
morrow, however, it will start in full
force at the express office and post
office
