Diamonds 
HE purchase of a diamond is a conservative in- 
vestment. Diamond vaiues are constantly in- 
creasing and are permanent, for diamonds do not 
wear out. 
By reason of large purchases at especially fav- 
orable terms we are able to offer some remarkable 
values, which for brilliancy, cutting, color, perfec- 
tion, and weight will outrank anything that you can 
buy, at our price.

T “Rock Maple Farm,” the attractive residence of Hon. 
and Mrs. George von L. Meyer, on Main street, Hal- 
ilton, Miss Edyth Deacon of Boston was married yester- 
day to Henry Gunther Gray of New York. The bride, 
who, during the past summer, had a cottage at West Man- 
chester, long has been an intimate friend of the hostess of 
yesterday, Mrs. Meyer, and her daughters, hence the offer 
of the Meyer residence for her marriage. The wedding 
is one of widespread interest, because Miss Deacon's 
acquaintance includes many friends in various American 
cities as well as in numerous places abroad. Mr. Gray is 
well known as a New York lawyer and club man. He 
was a Harvard man, class of 1897. 
Only the relatives on both sides and some of the 
more intimate friends were invited to the wedding and 
the breakfast served after the ceremony. The bride was 
given in marriage by her cousin, J. Harleston Parker of

satin combined with tulle and rich lace and with a full 
court train. Her bridal veil was of rare old lace and she 
carried a bridal bouquet of Easter lilies. She had no 
attendant, maid of honor or bridesmaids. 
Mr. Gray had for his best man one of his brothers, 
John Clinton Gray of New York, his classmate at Har- 
vard, ’97. There were no ushers, as the reception was 
‘rade as informal as possible. The officiating clergyman 
who performed the marriage was Rev. John J. McGarry, 
D.C. L., rector of St. Cecilia’s church, Boston. Mr. Gray 
and his bride are to sail at once for Europe for an in- 
definite stay.
