Women's Institute Notes, A goodly number of ladies assembled at the Town Hall, on Thursday last to listen to the addresses given by Miss Hill, of Toronto, and Miss Miller, of Guelph. The addresses were full of in- struction and practical hints and were listened to with march attention by all present. Miss Hill's subject, "Talks on foods with practical demonstra- tions, was postponed until the evening session, owing to the non -arrival of the baggage containing her "kitchen." In her address on "Practical Hygiene" she took up Disinfectants and Disin- fection, and gave much valuable infor- mation along that line. She spoke on 'some of the most common means of disinfecting and gave directions as to their use. Miss Miller's talk on "Home nursing and emergencies" was ranch appreciated. She illustrated the ar- ranging, of the bed of the 'invalid, and also the use of the roller and triangu- lar bandages. The last she especial- ly recommended, In the evening a larger crowd was present, Mr. Don- ald McInnes, as a representative of the South Huron Farmers' Institute occu- pied the chair. Miss Miller spoke first, her subject being, " Women's Insti- tutes, past, present and future. She showed how in a few years since its organization the Women's Institute had grown from a mere handful of members to a body now numbering about five thousand. The work done had been geeat,but the field was broad find Much greater work was yet to be accomplished. Miss Bill then from a chart pointed out and told the use and vitineof the different cuts of meats. This was very instructive and greatly appreciated by those present. She then gave the receipts and detnetistrat- ed the making of Sweet Omelet, Coca beverages and Fruit Salad.

The residence of Mrs. Elizabeth Har- ney, Main street, was the scene of a very pretty event on Tuesday, it being the marriage of her daughter, Miss Hannah, to Mr. Wm. Statham. At high noon a' silence fell on the large assemblage present, when Miss Mau- rettaH°rney, sister of the bride, carie forward and seating herself at the or- ga,n, played the wedding march, at which the happy couple took their re- spective places and the ceremony pro- ceeded with, which was performed by the Rev. Wm. Godwin. Miss RorneY's wedding robe was a marvel of elegance combined: with rare simplicity, it .be- ing of white taffeta silk, over pale blue, and trimmed with chiffon and pearls, the ,ppleasing and bewitching effect greatly enhanced by a long bridal veil, tastefully arranged and kept in place by a coronet wreath of white daisies, all in perfect harmony with the usual shower bouquet of bridal roses,held in her hand. Miss Ada Homey, sister of the bride, was attired in a handsome gown of white silk over pink, and car- ried pink roses, thus making a charm- ing bridesmaid. Two little maids, very daintily gowned—•Miss Olive McDon- ald, niece of the bride, and Miss Edith Straser', niece of the groom, performed their duties well, being ring bearer and flower girl respectively. The groom. was supported by his brother, Mr. Harry Statham, of Acton. The cere- mony over a d,congratulation extend- ed to the happy couple, the guests re- paired to the dining room, which was very attractive, being decorated with red, white and blue bunting, and it was here the wedding dinner was served, and to say the least, the tables fairly groaned with the weight of good things placed upon them. After all had done justice to the inner man all adjourned to wherethe wedding gifts were spread, and as one stood and gazed at the magnificent array, it be- came evident that the bride numbered her friends as many, among others be- ing a handsome chair from the groom. The bridesmaid, flower girl and ring bearer were also remembered by the. groom, receiving a bracelet, a ring and bracelet respectively. ' The remainder of the afternoon was spent in music, games and social chat. The happy couple left on the evening train for a honeymoon trip to Hamilton, Toronto, Guelpb, Brantford, Niagara Falls and Acton. On their return they will take up housekeeping. in Exeter, residing in the house at present occupied by Mr. Samuel Rowe, Huron street. The. Advocate joins with Mr. and Mrs. Stat- ham's many friends in wishing them. every happiness and prosperity. Masonic "At:Home. " The Masonic "At Houle" under the auspices of Lebanon Forest Lodge No. 133, giyen in the Opera House here, on Friday evening last will go on record as the most enjoyable and successful function- of the kind ever before held in.town. Shortly after eight o'clock the guests began to arrive and were ushered to their seats by attentive members of the fraternity, clothed in ,Masonic regalia, and before nine o',clock nearly two -hundred and fifty were seated in the main part of the hall. The interior of the building was tastefully embellished on all gaily and t y sides with bunting, flags, ever reens, ferns, flowers, etc., all lending a charm and enchanting effect, not only pleas- ing to the eye, but displaying -ingenu- ity and a consumate taste on the part of the decorators. The London Harp- ers were present and opened with a choice selection a program that was highly delightful throughout, which was amply testified to by the liberal applause accorded the various selec- tions. The solo by Mrs. (Rev.) Per- kins wet admirably rendered as was also the selections by Miss. A. Martin and Mr. Senior. A special feature of the program was the Highland bland danc g ing by the little Misses Edith and Amy McLeod, of London, who were loudly applauded on theirevery ap- pearance, Selections by the Harpers were interspersed and were most liber- ally applauded. At about 10:30 the program was concluded when all re- paired to the Town Hall on the oppos- ite pposite side of the street, where a dainty luncheon of the most approved style was served by Bro. J. T. OBrien. About twenty pretty and charming young ladies had charge of the tables and with a nimble activity soon had the wants of the large number satisfi- ed. After the good things had been. partaken of the greater number of the guests returned to the Opera House and either engaged in the dance or took seats in the gallery ova tthe sides below to watch the graceful turning of those in the mazy whirl. With the rhythmic strains of the melodious waltz by the Harpers the floor blos- somed out into a swaying mass of bril- liant colors and the place became vi- brant with the hum of conversation, mingled with the sparkle of silvery laughter, the pulsing of soft, sweet music and the tapping of chanty toes in their rhythmic flight. It was indeed a pretty scene and though it was not to dance it was nice toone s pleasure • be there. It was nearly three o'clock when the last waltz wits played and ars' the strains died away everyone le alit' ,, ed the Masonic "At Horne" was nein. tiered among the things of the pest,: but to be remembered as one of the most brilliant and happy events of the town's history.
