years-old cousins of the bride, Joseph

groom at Tufts. The bride was given
IN marriage by her father. The single
ring service was most impressively per-
formed in the presence of about so
guests, relatives and intimate friends.
A lovelier bride is seldom seen than Miss
Havener, tall and fair in her flowing
gown of Duchesse satin, cut with long
court train and trimmed with rare old
Duchesse lace and pearls. Her veil fell
to the edge of the train from lace cap
and was bordered with orange blossoms.

with shower of sweet peas.

dence were alike as could be; in fact,
their best friends could hardly tell them
apart, and yet they were unrelated and
mad only recently met. Miss Dow wore
a pale pink frock and carried pink snap
dragons and Miss johnson was in pale
blue, carrying snapdragons. The flower
girl wore dainty frock of white French
muslin with pink sash and the tiny little
rlbbon-bearers were in white suits and
too cute for words, performing their
part of the ceremony with much solem-
nifty
Immediately following the service the
bride and groom were surrounded and
warmly congratulated and at 7 o'clock,
and until 8, some $50 or more guests
called to pay their respects to the new
ly.weds. The cutting of the brides
cake, always attended by excitement,
was none the less so on this occasion, and
when the ring fell to Miss Emily Ross,
whose engagement was announced last
week to Harold Marshall of Boston, all
were willing to declare that they believ-
ed In signs. The thimble went to little
Miss Lucille Havener, the dime to Miss
MABEL mckinney and the button to Miss
Evelyn jackson of Everett, Mass. Girl
friends of the bride pres ded over the
dining room, where refreshments were
served.
AS early as possible the bride and
groom made getaway, but not until
they had received full quota of rice
and confetti, good wishes and congratu-
iatlons. The bride was stunning in
tailored suit of English covert with
blouse OF pale pink chiffon and fiet over
crepe de chene. She wore a smart hat

they will return to Searsport for few
weeks before leaving for Everett, Mass,
where they will live.
The bride, after graduating from the
Worcester High school spent year at

large circle of friends in Worcester and
Searsport, where she has spent the sum-
mer season from childhood. She is the
granddaughter of the late Capt. Phineas
T. Pendleton, one of the best known of
Searsport's master mariners.
DR.. Curtis is graduate of Tufts Den
tai College, class of 1914, and is in prac-
tice in Everett. For number of years
he has spent the summer with his pa
rents at their cottage here and the we'd
ding is happy elimination of seashore
romance.
The bride gave to her maids and the
pianist, gold friendship circles; to her
flower girl similar one of smaller size,
and to the violinlst, pearl cuff links.
