WINSLOW
Pleasant Affair at Pooler Home

One of the largest and most en-
PERTAINING social events of Winslow
season occurred Monday evening at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. r. W.
Pooler of the Cushman road, when
they entertained about 70 friends In
honor of their daughter and nus
band, Mr.. and Mrs. Harold f. Gatcn-
ell of Albany, N. Y, who are pass
ing few months here.
The beautiful home was ablaze
with pretty lights, and the pink and
green decorations were in beautiful
contrast to the heavy and beautifully
colored furnishings of the home.
The sole floral ornament of the din
ing room was most wonderful bo-
quet of chrysanthemums presented
for the evenings entertainment by
Mrs. Susan Cushman. The guests
who came from Waterville, Winslow.
Oakland, North and East Vassalboro,
brought many gifts to the young
couple.
Following the informal reception
a light collation. consisting of fancy
cookies, assorted cake and delicious
punch was served. The Misses Mar
guerite, Louise Cushman and Doris
Rainey presided over the punch
bowl and assisted in serving. Dur
ing refreshment time, a most pleas
ant social hour was held, and Mr..
and Mrs. Gatchell still further en-
chanted their guests with their
pleasing personalities.
The program which was given
about $50 was one perfect round
of enjoyment for all who heard it.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gatchell made as
earnest efforts in the pretty back
ground of their splendid home, as
they would have had they been play
ing to an audience of several hun
dred which they have done many
times, and their sketches were of the
greatest enjoyment to all. They are
royal entertainers and this is their
vocation in life, besides being
thoroughly wide awake and agree
able and happy young Americans
They were married in New Hamp-
shire several months ago, and their
romance eliminated from several
| months association in stage work
This program closed with the. rem
dition of a church response by Mr.
Gatchell, of his own composition
This was rendered by special re-
| quest, and it is a very beautiful sell
ection indeed.
Group singing was enjoyed, and
the company gathered about the
piano. and to the pleasant accom-
paniment played by Mr.. Gatchell,
I the guests, young and old reminisced
to their hearts content in the singing
of the good old songs so familiar to
all.
The beautiful gifts to the young
couple included choice pictures,
china, linen, beautiful hand work,
silver. cut glass, and a most gener-
GUS check from Mrs. Gatchelps par
ents.
! Mrs. Gatchell is the only daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Pooler, and al

exception of vacation now and
then when she visited home, she is
well known and liked by all Win
slows people.
