WOODSTOCK

proof that between the two churches l of which Rev. +. B. Harrison is pastor
 there is very hearty and cordial tei' | lewship. After the plans for this eV- l ening together had been made, a chance remark of the pastor that the l tenth anniversary of their marriage oc cured last week, set the ball rolling
 which resulted i'll collection of house
 hold articles appropriate to the "tin
 anniversary being provided for th'
 parsonage pantry. A brides loaf ano
 brides bouquet were presented 10 MT
 and Mrs. Harrison by two little boys
 Willie Hughes and Harry Rutishaus
 CT. A huge stocking borne aloft by
 one stalwart man from each parish, ,
 Sampson and a sheriff, contained tn,
 gift. Both MT. and Mrs. Harrison
 most pleasantly expressed their grati
 tude and appreciation. The following
 poem was written and read by Mrs
 Bingham:
 1 To MR. AND MRS. HARRISON
 Atmospheric conditions quite ofter | exist,
 ] N hich convey to the elements power
 When a warmth and chill into clos,
 contact come
 To condense and result in shower In the heart of old Woodstock wher
 King Winter reigns
 The warmth of affection has power, l When touched by the chill of crisT :! New Years night, To precipitate, too, in shower. l And the shower is of hail stones. Il each one had voice, "All hail,u it would cry with & will, l "May the joys and the comforts that | greet you tonight, Increasingly gladden. you still" | May the lamp shed clear light on the problems you meet, | And the eofiee-pot percolate cheer; l May the flavor of wedding cake bring back afresh The fruits of romance, still held dear May the tea kettle sing of the com- forts of home, And the dish-pan of purity sweet, May the bread-mixer hint of distribat- ed force,-
 Strength gained from the product of wheat.
 And blent with utensils for every day use,
 Bright glimpses of flowers may you find,
 That, however prosaic the task of the hour
 Some fragrance may finger behind l May the gIitteriRg tint of the shower long reflect
 | The decade of blessing untold | Which has followed the tying of kno | 1twixt two hearts, 1 One Decemb Der, so frosty and cold.
 Here's a health to our triplet alliance
 tonight.
 Our cups let us heartily fill
 To the couple we honor, the Nortl l Woodstock church, It's grandmother-the church on "th' | Hill.u

 Jan. 31, Selling the birthright. Woodstock, 10. 50 a. m., North Wood 1 stock l 30 p. m. The home of Dr. and Mrs. Joseph | Spalding was the scene of very pretty home wedding, attended by about seventy guests, at o'clock in the af' | ternoon of Dec. 3lst. The occasion | was the marriage of their youngest daughter, Miss Ida Lucille, and John | Robbins Masters of Utica, N. Y. The 1 bride entered the parlor on the arm of her father who gave her away. Miss Ethel Spalding was maid of honor and | the bridegroom was attended by his | brother.in-law, Mr. Arthur Rathbon of Utica. The brides gown was of white satin with veil and she carried a large bouquet of brides roses. The nuptial knot was tied by Rev. F. E.. Harrison, pastor of the ch hurch of which the bride is a member and the double ring ceremony was used. Music ] was furnished by Morse's orchestra Of Putnam. The house was elaborately but tastefully decorated with evergreen arches and wreaths and bouquets or roses, carnations and smilax. It was a pleasing and interesting fact that the dining room decorations came from Indiana, the old home of the brides mother.
 The bountiful refreshments were a feast of good things and were served by the girl friends of the bride, to whom she threw her bouquet as she went away. The brides cake was a pyramid loaf made by Mrs. Spalding and cut by the bride with her fathers sword which had cut two other brides loaves in the Spalding family during the past three months.
 Woodstock has been the home of Miss Spalding since her birth. She was graduated from Woodstock Acad- emy in 1913 and has given much at- tention to music and art. The best wishes of large circle of friends fol- low her to her new home. The wed ding gifts were both useful and beauti- ful.
