DUNC1AN—YOUNG—NUPTIALS On Monday afternoon last one of those events which always cause a thrill anal much interest, took place at St. Paul's Anglican church at 2.30 p.m., when Mr. Robert Duncan, a prosperous miller, of Harrington West was happily united in marriage to Miss Phyllis Young, youngest daughter Df Mr. and. Mrs. John Young, of the New Commercial -Ho- tel. The ceremony was performed by Rev. H. Naylor in the presence of the immediate relatives of the con- tracting parties The happy couple were unattended and the bride was charmingly attired . in peach satin, beautifully trimmed, and hat to match. After the ceremony the brid- al party motored to the home .of the .bride's parents where a dainty lunch was served, after which they motor- ed to the depot, where amid showers• of confetti and a host of good wishes they took the train for Toronto and ;other points, On their return they will settle at Harrington West.

In the meantime the rest of the par- ty are dining high, wide and hand- some at the Windsor. The evening was spent in quiet rest in a movie and at 11 hells, having spent a rath- er full first day and dropfed a line or two to the folks at home, we said "Good night Ladies," and retired. After the prolonged spell- of cool and backward weather, we were in- deed fortunate to have glorious wea- ther on which to start .on "a journey that no -doubt many of our readers like ourselves, have looked forward to. One could hardly imagine a more perfect day, the sun shone brightly, a cool refreshing breeze was most exhilarating and the party were all in high spirits, realizing that the dream of a lifetime was about to be fulfulled. We boarded the C.P.A. liner "Melita" about 8.30 a.m. Our first concern was to locate our state- rooms and were happy to find that all were comfortably situated and that our baggage had been well look- ed after. Our next interest was a tour of the boat and in this we were not disappointed. Ample accommo- dation is provided for the pleasure and the comfort of the passengers. A• most comfortable and handsome- ly decorated drawing room is situat- ed in the forepart of the boat and in addition there is a beautiful lounge, smoking room and' a card room. The spacious dining saloon will ace commodate the large number of cabin passengers at two sittings. Our party were fortunate in secur- ing a seat at the first sitting. For the first day outwith things more or 1s disorganized the service was everything that might be desired and nothing is left undone to make the traveller comfortable. After a survey of the boat one passed out onto .the promenade decks and there was plenty of, scenery on the St. Lawrence to-.hothe attention of the observer-.
