K v'irrcct Raiment
ObsCV«* Anniversary
Twenty five , ars ago Mr. and
Mrs. J. M. McDonald were married
in Providence, Rhode Island and last
Friday eveninv a number o f friends
hel|>ed celebrate the anniversary.
The guests did not know the nature
o f the occasion but were nut long
in finding out, once they arrived
upon the scene. Host and hostess
made them thoroughly at home and
then were lost or a time in myster
ious preparation. With Miss Grace
Parker at the piano the wedding
march resounded and attired in the
raiment of twenty five years ago
the joyously youthful couple appear
ed and renewed their vows o f a
quarter o f a century ago. With
his feet firmly planted on the floor
and an aureole o f benevolence plain
ly evident over his classical counte
nance, A. Parker acted as -official
uniter o f the matrimonial cords.
Do you, Janies, he inquired solicit
ously, promise to be cheerful when
the beefsteak is not as well done as
you think it should be; to get up
at three o ’clock in the morning to
take in the washing when a storm
threatens, to allow yourself to be
stuck full o f pins when your wife
is using you as s dress maker’s
model and a few other things to
which Mack cheerfully assented.
After Mrs. McDonald had agreed
to an equally solemn and serious
questionnaire. Mr. Parker announc
ed that the happy couple were en
titled to live together in peace and
harmony for twenty five years more.
Mr. McDonald’s suit consisted o f
a black frock coat, a white waiat-
coat and black trousers. He said
the suit was made by the best tailor
in Providence and as good a suit as
his shop turned out, although the
price, $35 which the suit cost,
seems quite moderate now. Mrs.
McDonald,s dress also reflected the
styles o f twenty five years ago.
A marching column was then
formed for the dining room where
the guests were greeted with large
quantities of ice cream, cake and
fruit juice. All the cakes you have
known since you were a youngster
were there; fruit cake, nut cake,
chocolate cake, layer cake, angel
food cake and all the rest o f them
and the guests samped them all.
A very pleasant evening was spent
made especially so by the glimpses
it enabled the guests to obtain o f
the ideal home life o f their estim
able hosts.
Another Vote on Gym
The delayed gymnasium at the
high school will come up for an
other consideration at the special
school tax budget meeting to be
held in November, according to
present plans. While a direct tax

were voted at a special meeting
Held two years ago, it was found
