There was a very pretty home wedding at the residence of Moses W. Brown, Beach Road, Hampton, Wednesday afternoon, November 30, when his elder daughter, Mildred, was married to Orla Anson Stowe of White Oak, Michigan, in the presence of the family and a few intimate friends. Rev. Edgar Warren officiated, and the bride and groom sealed their vows each to the other with rings. During the ceremony the sun, which had been hidden for days, flooded the room with its glory and rested upon the bridal party like a benediction.

The bride looked very lovely in her dress of Spanish guipure lace over ivory satin, with pearl ornamentations, and caught together at the throat with a diamond sunburst. She wore a tulle veil with a garland of lilies of the valley, and carried a shower bouquet of white bridal roses. She was attended by Miss Annie Conant of Roslindale, Mass., as maid of honor, and by her sister, Pauline (Mrs. Verne J. Wright) as matron of honor. Mr. Wright acted as best man for the groom.

After the ceremony refreshments were served, and the guests viewed the presents which were many and beautiful. Among them was a victory bond for $100, the gift of the bride's uncle, Thomas Albert Brown. The diamond brooch which the bride wore was the gift if Miss Caroline Cutler.

Among the guests was one who deserves particular mention, Mrs. Richard Haughton Shelton, a neighbor who was married on the same day of the month and the same day of the week, fifty-one years ago. Her gift to the bride was a centerpiece fashioned by her own hands.

The groom is a native and resident of Michigan, and is engaged in farming in that state on an extensive scale, and is a substantial and successful citizen. His family came originally from Vermont. He met his prospective bride in Florida two years ago, where they were both spending the winter. Certainly he is a man of good judgment for he takes back to his native state one of Hampton's most charming and popular young ladies.
