CURED on the evening or lhurS-
day, June 3Oth, at the Metho-
dist Episcopal church. West
Burke; the occasion being one
| of unusual interest to many, as
| it was the first wedding ever sol
emnized in the church during
the fifty years it has stood on
the hill, guarding and protect
ing our little village.
The auditorium was beauti-
fully decorated with evergreen
ferns, daisies and roses, and
looked exactly as a church
should look at June wedding.
The arches over the center
aisle, the altar rail, arms of the
pews, etc, were trimmed with
greens, roses, and DAISIES. A
large wedding bell under which
the party stood, was made Of
yellow and white DAISIES. Small
Ter white bells were suspended
down the aisle, and great bowls
of roses ornamented each Win
dow ledge.
Promptly at 8 o'clock, the
strains Of Lohengrin's wedding
march, played by Mrs. Annie III
Fairbrother, of West Burke,
greeted the ears of the two
hundred expectant guests, and
SIX ribbon girls, the Misses Ruth
Cole, Dorothy Smith, Annie
Gallagher, Grace Richards,
Clara Hill and Gladys Thomp-
son, all graduates Of Montpel-
Ter Seminary, appeared, gown
ed in delicate shades of organ
die, and made the aisle, lead
ing to the altar, through which
the wedding party were to
march to their places. At the
same time, DR.. Hatch, of Mont
peller Seminary, the officiating
clergyman, and his assistant,
Kew. }. e. Angel, of Moulton-
vile, n. H., passed down the
SIDE alsles, meeting just back
OF the altar rail. The bride
groom, and his attendant, Thorn
as Z. Wheaton of Wheaton Col
lege, ILL.,, then came down the
center aisle to the altar, there
awaiting the bridal party, who
came next, escorted by the four
ushers, Messrs. Ernest Winsor,
John Bisby, Jr,, Gordon WeD-
ster and Loren Jenkins.
The four bridesmaids were
the Misses Harriet Davis, sister
of the groom, who wore flesh
colored satin, Evelyn Hill, of
Boston University, dressed in
Turquoise satin, Marjorie Hall
OF Simmons College, gowned in
green satin, and Bertha Silsby
Of St. Johnsbury, who wore a
gown of peach colored satin
They carried immense bouquet
Of sweat peas, and made a most
charming picture.
The maid of honor, Miss Alb
bic Smith of Boston University
then entered, wearing a very
handsome gown of orchid satin
trimmed with silver streamers
caught with satin roses, and
carrying a colonial bouquet of
valley lilies. Everett Abar
and Mahlon Smith, the dear
little ring bearers, then ap-
peared, dressed, in white suits
each carrying a large white
rose, in the heart of which nest

err girls were Pearl and Elaine
Roundy, wearing dainty white
dresses, and carrying baskets
of roses, with which they strew-
ed the path of the lovely young
bride toward whom every eye

ing proper may be done in a number
Of ways and to suit the facilities OF
the builder. If the work is done just
preceding or during the rainy season
it may be left entirely to traffic, with
frequent shaping by the road grader,
or drag, after heavy rains, but this
process is hard on traffic and requires
a long time. The mixing can be done
most efficiently by means Of disk
harrow either during or Immediately
after a rain, or; the water may be
added with a sprinkling cart. The
first. partial mixing may be done dry
but the final mixing must be thorough
and should be done when the entire
road surface, is completely saturated
with water until a plastic mortar-1ike
mixture is secured. This should be
followed by final shaping with the
road machine and connpacttng by
either a roller or by traffic. :

THAT'S THE STORY He TELLS
But Il Certainly Was Unfortunate
that the "Tonic" Should Explode
When It Did.

An Indiana manufacturer recently
enjoyed restful Sunday in the quiet
of his own home, a steady downpour
Of rain giving every assurance of his
not being disturbed. Early in the eve
ming, however, he concluded a little
walk would be beneficial, and remem-
bering his wife having mentioned she
was in need of another bottle of her
favorite springtine remedy, he donned
q raincOat and braved the elements.
Pocketing his purchase, and home
ward bound, he thought to have look
in on the evening service at the church
Of which he was a devoted and valued
member. Standing in the rear Of the
church, as there was an unusually
large congregation. he became much
interested in the sermon, when to his
horror there came a terrific bang, fol-
lowed by deluge Of foam flying in
every direction; all eyes were turned
his way and the sermon temporarily
discontinued while the erstwhile de-
vout church member beat his hasty re-
treat amid the laughter Of the entire
congregation, having no opportunity to
explain that he was carrying home q
harmless bottle of "tonlc" for his wife.

HOW TO PATCH GRAVEL ROAD
Work Should Always BE Done When
Road Is Wet, Preferably When
Water 10 Standing in Ruts.

Patching is usually neglected or
done. in such a way as to cause two
ruts to form where there was but one
before. That is the invariable result
Of filling a rut too full. This work
should always be done when the road
is wet, preferably when the water is
still standing in every little hollow on
the road surface, so that the workmen
can just see where to place the new
gravel and about how much is needed.
Unless the rlit. is very large one,
it is always best to shovel the gravel
from the wagon into 1t, rather than to
raise sideooard and attempt to dump
a p,lrt Of the load. Patching done in
the proper manner When the road IS
wet, followed by as-road- drag will
