The living room, where the guests were received and also the dining room, were prettily decor- ated with pink and white streamers and white bells. Flowers were in profusion. Miss Hilda Betts, a niece, frocked in pink taffeta, attended the door. Mrs. Levi Duckett (nee Mae Binnington), who was maid of honor •26 years age, attired in the same dress she wore on that occasion, re- ceived with Mr. and Mrs. Newell. Mrs. Newell looked lovely, wearing a dress of maize triple sheer. The only ornament she wore was a beau- tiful sunburst of pearls that her hus- band had given her on her wedding day. Their marriage was performed on the Betts homestead (now occupied by Frank Betts), by Rev. R. C. Kerr, who was killed in the Great War. Mrs. Newell is a daughter of Mr. Thos. Betts and the late Mrs. Betts and the groom, who was bom in Ben- tinck, is a son of Mrs. Geo. Newell and the late Mr. Newell. About 7.30 o'clock an appetizing lunch was served on the spacious lawn to about 80 invited guests, who all sang "For they are jolly good fellows," when the bride and groom joined them. The bride's cake was delicious, consisting of five storeys. Friends were present from Durham, Varney. Priceville, Eugenia. Maxwell and Flfsherton. Later in the evening there were about 150 people present, as many friends and neighbors called to bestow best wishes and congratula- tions to the honored couple. K very enjoyable time was spent in music, dancing and social chat. The bride and groom of 25 years received many lovely gifts, among which was a beautiful electric floor li^mp in bronze and gold from Mr. Ncwell's brothers and sisters of Dur- ham. The groom's gift to the bride was a handsome three-piece Chester- field suite. Many letters of congrat- ulations were received from distant friends, who were unable te be pre- sent. Mr. Newell's cousin broade.istod a message of best wishes and con- gratulations to them in the evening. They also received many pretty bou- quets of flowers. We all join in ex- tending our best wishes that Mr. and Mrs. NpwcH will be spared to enjoy their golden anniversary. Completeness of cquinment ha.'n't ever\-f*ing to do with pnjo\-niont.
