Seasonable refreshments were serv-
ed in abundance, which was in charge
of Mrs. Boyd Lambert, Mrs. James f.
Thompson, ST.. and Mrs. Lewis IA.

Only the immediate families and a
very few close friends were present.
One sincere regret was that one son.
j.. Vernon Aler. Jr., now at the Unit
ed States naval academy at Annapol-
is, Md. was unable to be present II
was also regretted that Mr.. Aler's
mother, now 81 years of age. who
lives in Washington. was unable TO
attend owing to recent attack of the
grip.
Many handsome and appropriate
presents were received, many being
silverware and cut glass Several
congratulatory letters from relatives

received. some of which follows:

die,
The woman who ruled by love
Who don't harangue and who didn't
parade, an
In whose. home it was sweet to
dwell;
Who believed in raising children,
And not in raising
A unique fact about the celebration
was that it occurred only about 100
yards from the home where Mrs. Aler
was born and reared
Mr.. and Mrs. Aler were married in
Winchester on February IS, 1891, by
the Rev. A. G. Loving, who has been
