A very
pretty home wedding took place on Christmas Day at the home of the
bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Gee of Glenshee when their
daughter, Leathe Georgina Mildred Gee, was married to James Albert
Emerson Earl of Toronto, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Earl
of Blayney.
The ceremony was performed at
high noon by Rev. W. T. Farr, under a beautiful arch of evergreens,
decorated with Christmas balls and holly, the bride being [attired] in
a pretty dress of white voile over lace.
Miss Mildred Freeland of
Glenshee, cousin of the bride, acted as maid of honor, and Owen
Massecar, Wm. Roney and Judson Taylor acted as ushers.
After the ceremony the guests
sat down to two long tables prettily arranged in the dinning room, and
enjoyed a well managed wedding dinner.
The bride and groom left for
their new home in Toronto, the bride travelling in a costume of navy
blue serge with hat to match.
The groom's parents and
members of the family were generous in their gifts of silverware and
china, and the bride's people presented them with a well filled purse.
Among the out-of-town guests
at the wedding were
Mr. and Mrs. Lamplough Winona, Grimsby;
Mrs. Mary Howey and Master Frank, Port Rowan;
Ralph Earl, Delhi; Mr. and Mrs. Albert Earl, Blayney;
Mr. and Mrs. Owen Massecar, Delhi;
Judson Taylor, Saskatchewan; and
Mr. and Mrs. John Gee of Silver Hill.

The Charivari
Failed
On Christmas Day when Mr. and
Mrs. Emerson Earl, who had just been married at the home of the bride in
Glenshee, were leaving for their home in Toronto, a small crowd bent on
a charivari gathered at the big gate in front of the place.
The first of the bridal party to
come down the lane were Mr. and Mrs. Owen Massecar and Miss Mildred
Freeland, in Mr. Massecar's car. They found the gate securely wired
shut.
As they were turning around
Morley Gee, brother of the bride, came along with the newly married
couple.
The horse taking fright at the
auto, jumped the gate, leaving the bridal party on the inside. The
fills and whiffletree were broken and the horse galloped off down the
road.
Finally the gate was opened
and the bride and groom, getting into the automobile, were allowed to
pass out unmolested.
