Knitting Industdously for the Stars and
Stripes Fighting Men.

Out at the Home for Aged Women,
Gilpin avenue and Harrison street, the
inmates are doing their bit for the soldiers
of the nation by knitting garments.
One woman can boast Of having made
twenty-five sweaters alone, along with
other knit garments. Another has made
seventeen sweaters, with several helmets
and scarfs. To the credit of another can
be. given the knitting Of twcnty-sevcn
pairs of stockings. Much rivalry has
existed at times to see whose needles
could really fly the fastest and who could
finish her garment first.

BELFAST
CorIiss- Simmons

The wedding Of Miss Alice Estelle.
only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Valor-
us A. Simmons of Belfast, formerly
of Searsmont and DR.. Edward Miller
Corliss of Plymouth, N. H., took place
at 8 o'clock on Sunday evening, at
the Simmons residence in Franklin
and Cedar streets. About 80 guests
were present and the ceremony which
took place in the bay window Of the
south parlor was performed by Rev.
Arthur E. Wilson of the First Parish
(Unitariani church, the single ring
being used. Miss Simmons entered
the parlors on the arm of her father,
to the strains Of the Bridal Chorus
from Lohengrin played by Miss Amy
f. Stoddard, an intimate friend Of the
bride. She was unattended and wore
very handsome gown of white silk
and lace with veil falling to the hem
of the skirt and carried a shower of
brides roses. The house decorations
were a happy combination of green
and white. The bridal couple left
soon after for Rockland where they
passed the night and on Monday mo-
tored to their new home in Plymouth.
The bride wore for going away, a coat
dress of rose and blue serge and a fur
coat. Her gifts to the young ladies'
who assisted and to Miss Stoddard
were friendship circles Of gold with
pearl setting. Mrs. Corliss was gra-
duated from kent's Hill and from the
Emerson college Of Oratory. She has
been a most successful public reader
and has taken part in many chari-
table affairs. coached great many
plays, etc. She is worthy matron of

The Board of Health reported on
Monday morning that while there are
few cases of influenza there are also
many who are recovering every day
so that numerically there is no in
crease in the disease in Belfast. One
death occurred on Sunday, Frank
King, (colored) who married one of
Andrew Johnsons daughters. The
entire family were found suffering
with influenza a few days ago, one
Robert Johnson a boy of 1G having
died. Mr.. and Mrs. King and William
Johnson were taken to the Waldo !
County hospital but Mr.. King was too 7,
far gone to save and succumbed. |
Mrs. King is better and soils William
Johnson or Wee as he is better |
known. The case is a most pathetic |
one. Before anyone knew it the fam |
lily had been i'll for several days with |
out medical help and with no one but |
an 11-year- old girl to look after them. |
The children have been looked after |
now and nourishing food sent to !
them. 1t is urged that the doctors Of
the city will report cases where fami- |
lies are i'll and have no one to look |
after them and cooked food will be |
sent. In some cases where the moth |
er OF large families is i'll there is no |
one to cook for the children and it is |
feared that some such have already !
suffered in silence. Mrs. Cecil Clay if |
notified will see that such are looked |
after for a number of Belfast women !,
have volunteered to send food for the |
sick and other members of such fami- |
lies
