Madison, Me-, June 8. = Mr.. and
Mrs. George Weston celebrated the
50th anniversary of their wedding
Monday afternoon at their residence
on the Norridgewock road about four
miles below this village by keeping
open house to their many friends.
The guests began to arrive soon after
the noon hour and after beings cord
tally greeted were invited to tables
spread on the lawn beneath splendid
elm trees and sandwiches, cake, cof-
fee and ice cream were served.
At Q o'clock when the company

it reminded one of an old settlers re-
union. Bert Taylor of Berkeley, CAL
ifornia acted as master of ceremon-
les, being an old time neighbor of
Mr.. and Mrs. Weston. First came
the marriage ceremony conducted by
Rev. E. Lewis Wall. Mr.. Wall ques-
toned Mr.. Weston as to whether his
wife had always been obedient. Mr..
Weston replied that she had not but
nevertheless he was well satisfied
with his choice and perfectly willing
to enter into another contract. After
questioning Mrs. Weston in a sim
liar vein he proceeded with the cere-
mony. An unusual feature of the
occasion was the presence of Mrs.
Arzilla Nichols Smith and Mrs. An
ME Weston who witnessed the first
marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. Weston
by Rev. T. G.. Mitchell at the home
of the bride fifty years ago. Follow
ing the ceremony Mr.. Taylor gave
brief account of the neighbors as he
remembered them in the old days.
The next speaker was Prof. c. P.
Weston ,of the University of Maine,
and who spoke for the Weston fam
lily. Mr.. Weston read a short orig
inal poem the closing line of which
was George asked Lizzie Wood if
she Would and she did,. At this
time came duet by Mr.. Taylor and
Mrs. Mae Spear Randall who sang
"Juanita"; Mr.. Taylor then called on
Charles Hopkins Of Bangor. Mr..
Hopkins responded by giving most
interesting "reminiscences of the
neighborhood as he remembered it
when a boy, recalling number of
almost forgotten incidents and giving
character pictures Of well known old
time residents. 1t this time Mrs.
Alice Weston Todd sang 1.-THE Sun
shine of Your Smile" Next came a
Mrs. Bert Taylor of Buffalo. New
York. Mr.. Taylor then called on
Orlando Walker who spoke briefly
and was followed by Mark Gray. The
exercises closed with the company
joining in singing in Days of Old
Lang Syne".
This was followed by an informal
social hour when old time friendships
were renewed and many incidents of
the old days discussed. Refreshments
were again served after which the
company began to break up after
wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Weston many
more years of married happiness.
Among those present from out of
town were Mrs. Viola Johnson of In
dustry, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Will
liams of Pennington, Mr.. and Mrs.

BObbed Hair Slowly
Adopted i'm Philippines

Manila, May ga. P. by MaiD-
While Filipino girls, in small num-
bers, have for some time shown a
tendency to adopt European dress, it
is only recently that they have ven
tured into the field of bobbed hair.
Only few so far have yielded to the
temptation to clip their long black
locks, but many predictions are made
that the custom will grow because of
the comfort afforded by short hair in
this tropical climate.
, Parental objection is strong against
the innovation, as the Filipino woman
takes the greatest pride in her long
thick hair which in many cases
reaches to her ankles
