The marriage at Trinity church, 
Boston, last Saturday noon, of Miss 
Edith Wendell, the youngest daugh- 
ter of Prof. and Mrs. Barrett Wen- 
dell, and Charles Devens Osborne, of 
Auburn, N. Y., was a very pretty af- 
fair. The centre aisle of the church 
only was used, the rest screened off by 
rows of fir trees. The beautiful 
Christmas decorations were still in 
place and made the only ornamenta- 
tion on the altar. The pew ends of 
the entire aisle were tipped with 
clusters of pink carnations tied with 
white ribbon. The guests were con- 
fined to the relatives, there being a 
large family connection, and a few 
intimate friends, because of mourning 
in the Wendell family. Both bride 
and groom have been frequent visitors 
on the North Shore, the former being 
a sister of Barrett Wendell, Jr., who 
married Barbara Higginson, and who 
summer at Beverly Farms.

Herbert Warren Mason of Heart- 
break Road, Ipswich, has announced 
his candidacy for the board of select- 
men of the town, and he is strongly 
indorsed by former Senator Schofield, 
who is retiring from the board this 
year after many years of service. Says 
the /pswich Chronicle: ‘He has been 
warmly indorsed by a large number of 
citizens and his candidacy meets with 
general approval. Mr. Mason has re- 
sided in Ipswich about two years but 
in that short time he has taken a deep 
interest in all matters relating to town 
government and has made a host of 
friends who are pleased that he is will- 
ing to become a candidate for select- 
man and to serve the town in an offh- 
cial capacity, for they realize that a 
man of his standing will make a val- - 
uable official. During the past year 
he has been a member of the Finance 
Committee and he is also a member of 
the Republican Town Committee.”

The excellent weather since New 
Year’s has induced many people to 
visit the North’ Shore for walking 
hikes, and for a day’s outing. 
Tiny TEACUPS 
The teacups and pots used in Swa- 
tow, a province of China, are no larg- 
er than those in the sets of dishes 
given to children for their doll houses 
here. Each cup contains about three 
sips of tea and is scarcely deeper than 
a thimble. It is a ridiculous sight to 
see fully grown men and women 
gravely touching these diminutive 
vessels to their lips. The teacups 
used in the province of Canton, which 
are about two inches deep ,are small 
enough, but those in Swatow are 
probably the most lilliputian in the 
world.
