Kelly, at No. 1383 Fulton street, in this borough, was the scene of a "linen wedding" last Wednesday evening, commerating twelve years of a happy and properous matrimonial life. The young couple received profuse congratulations from their many friends and numerous tasteful gifts of their esteem were much in evidence. The evening was passed very pleasantly, an enjoyable feature being the singing of Molly's famous ballad, "Love's Old Sweet Song," pathetically and charmingly rendered by Mrs. B.F. Leavitt, of Providence, RI, a sister of the hostess. Mr. George B. Boomer, a well-known mandolinist, gave several selections, while Mr. Harry G. Blazier presided at the piano. Miss Hettick an Miss Wright, both excellent pianist, contributed in a large measure to the affair. The event of the evening was a speech by the host, Mr. Kelly, affectionately known to his friends as the "Camera King", and given in his characteristically modest fashion, briefly thanking his friends for their great consideration and esteem. An impromptu progressive euchre was arranged late in the evening and enjoyed by all who participated. Among for many invited and present were George H. Boomer, Harry G. Blazier, Edwin T. Dunham, Miss Annie E. Hettick, Miss Josie E. Wakeley, Louis H. Bunker, Miss Josephine A. Price, J.S. Wright, Mr. and Mrs. Grill, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick J. Harrison, Alfred Lawton, and Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Luther, Mrs. B. F. Leavitt, Miss Nina Leavitt, Master Harold Leavitt, of Providence, RI.
