MISS BURSEY IS BRIDE OF
 JOHN AVERY

Mir. and Mrs. Edward E. Bursey of Wood avenue announce the marriage of their daughter, Miss Gertrude IdeIle to John Firing Avery of Devon, which took place yesterday noon at Christ church on Courtland street. Rev. John G. Sadtler omciated at the ceremony.
 The bride wore a charming gown of silver cloth draped with a net overskirt and an overblouse of em- broidered taffeta. She wore a large picture hat to match her gown and carried a shower bouquet of Ameri- can Beauties. The pride and groom were unattended and only the i'm mediate families and very close friends were present. A reception was held following the ceremony after which the couple left for their wedding trip. They will return in about ten days and make their homo in Devon. The wedding ring given by the groom to the bride was for merly worn by his grandmother and great-grandmother and is one of the oldest Avery jewels. The bride was also presented with an attractive law elier by the groom's family which was also at one time worn by his grandmother.
 Mrs. Avery was a member of the Bridgeport High school and had charge of MT. Bursey's office at AT John street. MT. Avery is a graduate of Trinity College in England and is connected with the Singer Manufac- turing Company. He has recently been discharged from the army where sens.

If one were to define an evening gown, she would no doubt say, "Oh, I don't know. It's not any definite pattern, but it is the prettiest part of a girls wardrobe" And that about describes it. Sometimes it is drapery alone that makes it. Some times it is the material alone. At any rate, whatever the means, the re- suit rarely fails to be beautiful. In this evening dress we have first the tight bodice and underslip, with a fairly full, gathered skirt. Georgette, banded with brocaded ribbon, works most of the charm. It comes col lar wise from the back, then crosses In front, revealing a bit of the bodice beneath. At the right it finds itself securely placed by a cluster of tiny rosebUds. At the left it continues to form a panel at the front, weight ed by huge tinseI tasseIs. An irregu- lar heightened overskirt of georgette completes the frock. Somehow one sees it in cloth-of-silver and midnight blue. Of course, the under bodice and slip are of the former. Velvet brocaded ribbon, in gorgeous coloring would enhance the beauty of georg- cite in the wonderful blue known as midnight blue. It seems to have a certain enrichening effect upon ones complexion. The overszirt and panel would be made more attractive by picoting in silver, silver tasseIs add the final touch.

ETIQUETTE

Golffng-It is a gross breach of etiquette for one golfer to speak or move while in the immediate vicinity of a friend or stranger, who is about to tee off or deliver any other stroke. Strangers have no right to leave their balls and, strOlling near to a fellow golfer, take critical note of his or her manner of dealing with a stroke. A nervous player is often seriously dis turbed and put off his form by such methods.

which Vermont seems destined to play
an important part, although the move

from the larger centers of population,
having beautiful ponds and lakes, fine
scenery, splendid water supplies, invig-

to mental and physical health, Already
the shores Of the lakes and ponds are be.

boys and girls, while the hills are also
being chosen as acceptable places for the
young people to come to for their vaca-

to be encouraged in every way possible,
for it brings into the state a large mum.

percentage of these people will become
steady visitors during the summer
months and a few may take UP their
permanent residence in the state, after
finding out the advantages to accrue
from such residence. The state will well
come these people, not merely from a
sense of appreciation of the impetus to
business which they bring but because of
the pleasant relationship which their
presence affords. It is a trend Of activ.
ity which the state would do well to en-.

FAIRNESS IN HANDLING LIQUOR
LICENSE MONEY.

lnasmuch as the state is receiving the
money from liquor license fees the cities

thing for the state of Vermont to make
good the refunds on licenses which may
be made by city or town under orders
from the boards Of license commission.
ers, who are named by the state and are
accountable to the state. The city or
town municipality acts merely as an
agent between liquor licensees and the
commonwealth of Vermont and should
not be compelled to stand losses through
failure Of the state to make good on re-
funded money to licensees. There is a
case at hand in Barre, where the board
of license commissioners last year or.
dered the city to pay back to a lieensee
a pro rata amount of the annual license
fee, the license having been cancelled;
the city paid the money in good faith
and then went to the state for reimburse.
