A very pretty and unique wedding
was field on Saturday, May 24th, in
the little white church on the Grand
.Bend circuit, when Miss IreneMay
Handford, daughter of the late
Thomas and Mrs. Handford, of Ing
ersoll, formerly, of Exeter,' was unit-
ed in marriage to Mr. James George
Little, of Ingersoll. The church was
beautifully decorated with flowers
and streamers. While the wedding
march was being played by Miss
Madeline Pollock, the bride entered
the church escorted by her brothei-
in-law, Mr. Lorne Finn, of London.
She was most becomingly attired in
a handsome French suit of beige
poiret twill, and a beaded crepe de
chine French blouse with pretty leg-
horn hat to match. She wore a cor-
sage bouquet of Ophelia roses and
mauve sheet peas. Miss Bessie Lit-
tle, ,sister of the groom, acted as
bridesmaid, while Mr. Lawrence
Waite assisted the groom. The cere-
mony was performed at two o'clock.!
by Rey. L. W. Hill, of Parkhill, a
former pastor of the' bride, assisted
by Rev. W. J. Maines: It' was in this
same church that the bride's parents
were married and two of those who
were present at that wedding, were
also present on Saturday, as were
alga 'inaily` relatives" and friends of
the, family. The wedding party and
guests motored to Mr. E. A. Follicle's
summer cottage; adjoining the sum-
mer cottage of the bride's mother,
where a very dainty buffet lunch
was served to over fifty guests. Amid
a shower of confetti and well wishes
the happy couple left on motor trip
to Kingsville;, the blossom -laden Ni-
agara Peninsula and. Buffalo, and on
their return will take up their resi-
dence in Ingersoll. Guests were
present at the wedding from Inger-
soll, London and Exeter. The Times
joins" with the many friends of Mr.
and Mrs. Little 111 extending the very
best wishes for their future happi-
ness.
Rev. W. E. ' Donnelly and Mr. H.
T. Rowe motored to London Monday
and were accoiipanied home by Mrs.

operation in Victoria Hospital. She
stood the journey fine and her many
friencls-.hope to see her around again

SUCCESSFUL OPERETTA
One of the musical treats of the
season "vas given on Wednesday ev-
ening of Iast week, in the Opera
House, when "Patricia" an operetta
in three acts, was given by the stu-
dents of the Exeter High School un-
der the direction of Mr. W. R.
Goulding. The weather was ideal,
making it possible for a Large audi-
ence, to show thein' appreciation^" of
the dramatic and musical interpreta-
tion, by repeated applause. The
young people who took part did so
with very great credit to themselves,
showing marked ability and talent
and reflected much credit upon the
director. An operetta is not merely
a play, but is set to music requiring
careful interpretation. which makes
it more difficult than drama. It is
a splendid training for those taking
part and we hope to have more of
them in the future. The characters
were as follows: Patricia, Helen
Wethey; Jimmy Levitt, Keith Love;
Margaret Winthrop, Alice Hoffman;
Dick Franklin, Kenneth Stanbury;
Fanny Warrington, Dorothy Welsh;:
Nancy Lee, Wanda Von Wascinslri;
Bobby Neal, Willie MacLean; Percy
