WEDDINGS
JEWELL-CANNON


A romance of high school days
was eliminated on Tuesday after
noon at o'clock when Miss Marjorie
Alexine Cannon, only daughter of
Major and Mrs. James w. Cannon,
| became the bride of John G. Jewell,
eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence
| f. Jewell. The wedding took place
IN the living room, of the Cannon
home on Pear street, under bower
of pink and white roses. The beau
tiful ring service of the Episcopal
Church was used by the Rev. Joseph
Kinks, the rector of the bride. An
unusual incident of the ceremony
was the playing of 81 Love You
Truly" and the wedding music on
the zylOphone by MyrOn Boone,
cousin of the bride. At the appoint
ed time the rector, the groom and
his best man, Howard Vreeland, en-
tered one door, while the maid of
honor, Miss Louise Vreeland, pre-
ceded the bride and her father COM
ing in from another door, Major Can
non giving his daughter away. The
men were dressed in the convention
al blue coat and white flannel trous-
ers. The bride, so small in stature,
was a picture in her gown of white
net, white mOire slippers, cap veil
with long train, white lace mitts,
carrying sweetheart roses. Miss
Vreeland chose pink wedding organ
die, with which she wore blue shoes,
blue lace mitts, and a white straw
hat. She carried pink roses and
blue delphinium. The gowns were
both floor length and gave a very
graceful air as the bridal party en-
tered the living room.
After the ceremony the members
of the party were served refresh
ments in the dining room where the
wedding cake formed the centerpiece !
of the table. The guests, the fami
lies and a few. friends, mingled in |
the other part of the house and
were served there After what SEEM
ed a long wait, during which time |
the automobile to be used was dec
grated, the happy couple were off in
q shower of rice and confetti, ac-
by the good wishes of
their friends.
The brides going away suit was of
lark blue crepe, with which she
wore a light blue blouse and dark
blue hat.
They are motoring as far as De-
roit and will be away about two
weeks. Upon their return they will
i've in a bungalow which they have
luilt in BrattOn Heights. Mrs. Jew
I'll for the past few years has been
eaching at Bowers school. Mr..
Jewell is associated in business with
lis father. They are very well and
avOrably known here and have
many friends. The guests from out
# town were Mrs. John Kerr, Mrs.
'allie Warren and James Warren, of
Iaston, Md, Miss Laura SmoOt, of |
Dover, Mrs. Annie Harrington of

FELLOWSHIP CLASS NEWS

taking their annual picnic at Reho-
both, the day being unfavOrable they
did not leave town until $3.50 a. m,
but the dampness did not dampen
their ardOr for they were a happy,
jolly crowd, caring nothing for wind
or weather. Fifteen in number, in
cluding the coffee pot and ice cream
freezer, they being charter members,
On arriving at the resort we were
invited by Commander Kessler to
make ourselves at home in the Smith
cottage. Very kind of him to do so.
He also furnished us with tables and
chairs to use for our lunch. The
commander had lunch with us, and
what a lunch we had-fried chicken,
salads of all kinds, delicious bread,
fruits and ice cream.
After lunch a number of the pep
py' ones went for a stroll around
the lake. The scenery and Sights"
around the lake were beautiful.
Some things" we never saw before,
but ust wondered why nature made
some things" so magnificent. The
stroll ended. Then the shops were
visited. Small purchases made for
home folk for we always think of
Others. Then ice cream and cake
and after putting the house in order
and thanking the Commander for his
kindness, we departed for home, all
voting the very best picnic ever.
We feel so sorry for the "stay
homers", for they missed the times
of their lives by not seeing the
sights" and scenery of Silver Lake.
