SOCIETY WEDDING 
AT BEVERLY FARMS. 
Miss Leslie McGregor Morison and Clifton 
Long Bremer Married at Summer Home 
of the Morisons, on West Beach Hill, 
Wednesday Noon. 
A beautiful home wedding, which 
brought together a large number of 
the summer residents along the North 
Shore, as well as guests from Boston, 
was that at Beverly Farms Wednes- 
day, when Miss Leslie McGregor Mor- 
ison was united in marriage to Clifton 
Long Bremer, a son of Mrs. Wm. M. 
Bremer, Boston, 
The ceremony was performed by 
the Rev. Paul Revere Frothingham 
of the Arlington street church, Bos- 
ton, at high noon at the attractive 
summer home of Mrs. Frank Mori- 
son, the bride’s mother, at West Beach 
hill. 
Though the wedding was a quiet 
affair, and was attended by only the 
near relatives of the couple, the recep- 
tion which followed brought together 
one of the largest gatherings of the 
smart folk on the shore this season. 
The bride was gowned in white 
satin, trimmed with applique lace, prin- 
cess fashion. Her veil was fastened 
with a fillet of orange blossoms, which 
was particularly becoming. 
She was given away by her uncle, 
George B. Morison. Her sister, Miss 
Isabelle Morison, was the maid of 
honor, and she wore a handsome crea- 
tion of blue crepe de chene and a 
black hat. John L. Bremer of Bos- 
ton and Manchester, a cousin of the 
groom, was the best man. 
A reception, which was purely in- 
formal, followed the ceremony. A 
special train of three coaches con- 
veyed almost 200 guests from Boston, 
arriving at the Farms about 12.35. 
Train barges from Magnolia were 
used to convey the guests from the 
station to the house. There were no 
ushers. Mrs. Morison assisted Mr. 
and Mrs. Bremer in receiving their 
guests. 
The Morisons have been abroad 
all summer, and their place here was 
not opened till last week. The house 
was cosily fixed for the occasion, a 
quantity of palms, autumn leaves, 
yellow and white chrysanthemums, 
constituting the simple scheme of 
decoration, which was furnished by 
Edward MacMulkin of Boston. An 
aisle of palms led up to a bank of 
palms and autumn foliage, amid which 
the bridal party stood. 
The bride will be remembered in 
Vincent club circles as being one of 
the leading characters in the operetta, 
«Tom Boy,” given last season. 
As prelude to the ceremony Gott’s 
orchestra of Boston, which also played 
during the reception, played the 
“ Bridal Chorus,’’ from Lohengrin, 
and at its close played the Mendels- 
sohn ‘f Wedding March. 
Mr. and Mrs. Bremer have taken 
the Dr. Jackson cottage at the Farms 
for the winter. They will occupy it 
about November 1. 
At the ceremony were Mr. and 
Mrs> (Chas: -H >>Dalton, iMrs2 Jil

mer, and also Miss Eleanora Sears, 
Miss Marion Homans, Miss Gretchen

A Pleasing Surprise. 
Many of our Manchester folk who 
are interested in preserving the gene- 
alogies of old families will be inter- 
ested in hearing of the pleasing sur- 
prise which was awarded Dr. George 
O. Tuck of Gloucester, Monday, when 
he received a check of $200 for his 
twin grandsons, children of Dr. and 
Mrs. Albert E. Tuck of Rockport. 
The family is well known hereabouts, 
being one of the earliest settlers in 
this section of New England. The 
surprise was brought about in this 
way: 
In the year 1877 the genealogy of 
the Tuck family, descendants of Rob- 
ert Tuck, one of the settlers of Hamp- 
ton, N.H., in 1638, was published by 
Joseph Dow of Hampton as author, 
and Hon. Amos Tuck of Exeter and 
his son, Edward Tuck, a banker in 
New York and Paris, who paid the 
cost of publication. In 1888 Dr. 
George O. Tuck of Rockport applied 
to the author, and on his direction to 
Edward Tuck of New York for a 
copy. The book was received with 
compliments of Mr. Tuck, who wrote: 
«T have no brothers and no sons 
and only two male cousins of the name 
of Tuck, so that if the name is to be 
perpetuated the rest of you will have 
to attend to it.” 
When the twins were born last 
January, Edward Tuck was informed 
of the fact and reminded of his re- 
marks. No answer was expected and 
none received until Monday, when a 
letter was received, in which he said: 
- ©T was greatly pleased to know 
that the name of Tuck was likely now 
to multiply in the land, and that you 
had not forgotten my remarks on the 
subject in our previous correspond- 
ence. Asan evidence of good faith I 
would like to present to your son $100 
for each of the Tuck boys, to be 
placed in savings bank or otherwise 
invested at your and his discretion, to 
be kept for them till they are 21 and 
then passed over, unless special occa- 
sion should warrant its earlier use.”’ 
War on Moths. 
At the invitation of President Ap- 
pleton of the Essex Institute, Salem, 
a meeting was held in the Institute 
rooms one night this week, at which 
the subject of the brown-tailand gypsy 
moths was discussed. 
Dr. W. W. Eaton of Danvers pre- 
sided, and Salem, Beverly, Peabody, 
Danvers, Topsfield, Rockport and 
other places were represented. 
It was decided to ask the Legisla- 
ture to pass a law requiring cities and 
towns to rid themselves of the pests ; 
permitting the authorities to enter 
private premises to clear trees of 
moths, compelling the owner, if he 
objects, to do the work himself, and, 
if he neglects to do it, making it the 
duty of the authorities to do the work 
at his expense. Another meeting will 
be held next Wednesday. 
This action is somewhat along the 
line being laid out by the North Shore 
Horticultural society at Manchester, 
and deserves the attention of every- 
body. 
Old Planters’ Society. 
Manchester was represented at the 
meeting of the Old Planters society 
in Boston Wednesday by Selectman 
William H. Allen, who represented 
William Allen, father of the Allens 
who settled here in 1624. This unique 
society is composed of descendants of 
the earliest settlers of Massachusetts 
Bay, and the meeting this week was 
to celebrate the 274th anniversary of 
the application to the general court of 
the colony, made by 110 Pilgrims, for 
admission to the ranks of freemen. 
Papers were read regarding the 
achievements of various signers of the 
famous petition, which was presented 
on Oct. 19, 1630. Each speaker rep- 
resented an ancestor. Besides Mr. 
Allen from this section was Henry C. 
Leach of Salem and Manchester, who 
represented Lawrence Leach, a settler 
of 1629, 
WANTED.
