The Hastings home had been beautifully decorated, a color .scheme of red and white being carried out with bells, American beauty roses, ribbons, etc. hung artistically about, presenting an entrancing scene. The bride and her maid of honor were beautifully yet simply dressed in soft, white creations, while the bridegroom and best man wore conventional evening full dress. The bride was attended by Miss Nettie Milliard, a sister of the bridegroom, as maid of honor, while Heath Hastings, a brother of the bride, was beat man. Rachel Milliard, Sarah and Laura Hastings and Helen Voight, prettily arrayed, were ribbon bearers. Continued on Page Two.

The donor not wishing to bring: until himself any undue publicity  made himself known only to the directors of the old Institution. One of the most pleasing and  ful features of the first mentioned d» nation is that it comes unsolicited, and although the fact has only been known a very few days, it has caused the friends and well wishers of the Academy to take new heart, and bestir themselves for a good, hearty, strenuous and systematic endeavor to restore Eldersridge to her old time vigor and prestige, and there is now noi much doubt that at least by the beginning of the next school year these efforts will have accomplished a large and abundant measure ot success.In addition to this a well known and wealthy alumnus has definitely promised that as soon as the judgments are paid he will make a liberal contribution to a permanent endowment.Other friends of the school have not been idle in its hour of need and trouble, and a very considerable amount of money has been subscribed which. will be available for refurnishment and equipment, so it seems possible that in a short time Eldersridge may be put into a larger and better position of usefulness than ever before. The gentleman who has done this Is a man of large wealth, and wide Influence, but has never in any way before been identified with the school, and he proposes to make his generous contribution purely out of regard for the former name and prestige of the old academy, not only in its local neighborhood, but also because of the Impress It put on thousands of widely scattered alumnae. It will be a gratification to the many friends -of old Klderaridge Academy to know that at the last moment when the school property was ready to go under the sheriff's hammer to satisfy judgment* against it, a friend and benefactor has arisen who has offered a donation of sufficient amount to practically satisfy all claims against the institution, provided it is again opened and -operated.
