SOCIETY NOTES 
The wedding of Miss Edith Deacon and Henry G. 
Gray at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. von L. Meyer, 
Hamilton, next Thursday, Nov. 9, will be the last of the 
society weddings on the North Shore this season. Mr. 
Gray and his bride will go to Europe for an 8-week trip. 
Last Sunday evening, as they were returning to West 
Manchester, in Miss Deacon’s car, the machine in some 
manner swerved from the roadway, when opposite the 
Denégre estate, struck a fence and pitched head first into 
a ditch by the side of the road, standing squarely on its 
head. Miss Deacon was driving and it is only this that 
saved her from serious accident. Mr. Gray was thrown 
from his seat against the windshield. His arm was cut 
severely and he was otherwise bruised and _ scratched, 
but most fortunately both escaped without broken bones.

Who said November’s face was grim? 
Who said her voice was harsh and sad? 
I heard her sing in wood-paths dim, 
I met her on the shore, so glad, 
So smiling, I could kiss her feet! 
There never was a month so sweet. 
—Lucy LARCOM.
