stated a rather interesting fact. Young
Mr.. Lashar, who was coxswain of the
Yale Varsity crew of 1916, is now in
the navy. He went across last Aug
ust and has now attained the rank
Of quartermaster. The ship on which
he is stationed is detailed to periIous
duty as it is the flagship of the mine
sweeping squadron, which is known
among the sailors as the suicide
fleet" In his letter Quartermaster
Lashar says that they have recently
been transferred to another base and
as they are the first American sailors
ever to enter this particular port, the
people are very much excited over
their presence there.
There was a very pretty, though
quiet wedding, this afternoon at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Atwater
of Colorado avenue when their older
daughter, Miss Henrietta Atwater and
Lieutenant Joel Goldthwait of Bos-
ton, Mass, were united in marriage.
Only relatives and members of the
families Of the young couple were
hidden to witness the ceremony
which was performed by the Rev. Ste
phen Fish Sherman, Jr., rector of St
| Johns church, at 4 o'clock. The
house was most effectively decorated
with palms and ferns and the color
scheme was pink and white.
Miss Atwater, who made a very at
tractive bride, was gowned in heavy
white satin made on simple lines and
her tulle veil was caught on her head
with orange blossoms. She carried
a bouquet of gardenias and lily of the
valley. Her only attendant was her
sister, Miss Louise Atwater, who
wore blue silk and carried Ophedia
roses.
Lieutenant Goldthwait was attend
ed by Lieutenant Hoyt Perry, as his
best man. Just a week ago Lieuten-
ant Goldthwait was an usher at the
wedding of Lieutenant Perry and Miss
Charlotte Riker at st. Paurs church
in Fairfield. He is the son of Major
and Mrs. ]. A Goldthwait Of Boston.
Mass. Major GoIdthwatt is at pres
ent in France, the head Of the Ortiz
opedic unit Of the American Expe-
dictionary force.
There was a small reception follow
ing the ceremony and Lieutenant and
Mrs. Goldthwait left on an eight days
wedding trip, after which Lieutenant
GoldthWait is to return to Camp Dew
ems. He expects to be transferred to
Fort Sills, Oklahoma, where Mrs.
Goldthwait will join him and remain
in Oklahoma until he is ordered to
France, after which she will return
to Smith college where she is in her
junior year, to finish her course Miss

in the week previous to her wedding
, by the members Of the Little Sisters,
of which organization she is the sec
ond member to be married.
