Lewis, of New York, which took place on October 16th at Keeway diu, the summer home of the bride's parents at Meredith, New Hampshire. The bride is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Tufts, owner of Pine hurst, and is always a popular favorite among all who know her. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William E. Lewis, of Great Neck, L. I. He is associate editor of the New York Morn ing Telegraph, of which his father is the publisher, and is a Major on the staff of Governor Smith of New York. The wedding was a quiet home affair and only the intimate friends of the two families were present. The ceremony was performed by the Eev. T. A. Cheat ham, of Pinehurst, and Mr. Waldo Gross, brother-in-law of the groom, acted as best man. Messrs. Richard, James and Albert Tufts, brothers of the bride, were ushers. The bride wore a simple dress of baro net satin with an overskirt of old lace trimmed with pearls, a tulle veil em broidered with orange blossoms, and the white open work silk stockings which were worn by her mother and grandmother on their wedding days. Keewaydin, on high ground overlook ing Lake Squam, was beautifully dec orated with evergreens and autumn leaves. After a honeymoon trip of two weeks on the coast of Long Island, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis will reside at 122 Waverly Place, New York, until their new house at Great Neck is completed. A number of newcomers who have erected new cottages during the summer will be welcomed into the Winter colony at Pinehurst this season. Included in this number is Mr. H. Bradford Lewis, of Andover, Mass., who has erected a handsome cottage adjoin ing the Morganton, overlooking the valley below the orchards on Garran Hill. Mr. J. Ebb Weir, of Jamesport, L. I., who has been a visitor to Pinehurst for a number of years, decided to desert the hotels, and has built a beautiful little cottage of the bungalow type, and with Mrs. Weir will be early arrivals for the winter. After deserting Pinehurst for Cali fornia last winter, Mr. and Mrs. Dickin son Bishop decided they preferred the sunshine of Pinehurst to that of Cali fornia, and have purchased the attractive cottage on Linden Eoad recently built by Mr. S. B. Chapin. They are making some extensive enlargements to the new cottage and in the meantime are residing at the Clover Leaf. Mrs. J. F. Jordan, of Overhills, has purchased Casa Yucca, the former resi dence of Mr. and Mrs. Francis T. Keat ing, and with her daughter will make Pinehurst their winter home. The unusually pretty Indian summer which has prevailed in this section thoughout the entire fall has attracted a large number of the winter cottagers to Pinehurst much earlier than formerly. Mr. and Mrs. P. B. O 'Brien, with their four lovely children, every one a Presi dential prospect, arrived early in October. Between sharpening up on his golf game and building new cottages, Mr. O 'Brien 's time is well occupied. Lieutenant and Mrs. Cassius Hayward Styles, whose recent wedding at Brookline, Mass., was an event of much promin ence, spent very happily the days of their honeymoon at the Eose Cottage. Mrs. Styles will be remembered by her many friends as Miss Eosamond Cummings. Lieutenant Styles is stationed at the United States Naval Base at Arcadia, Florida. Facing Village Green adjacent to Dr. J. S. Brown's bungalow is a beautiful English type house with hewn timbers being constructed by Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Hurd, and upon its completion will be an attractive addition to the already pretty houses on that row. Mr. N. S. Hawkins, Federal Managei of a system of railroads during Govern ment control, with Mrs. Hawkins, came down in their private car for a fort night of golf, and were the delightful guests of Mrs. E. C. Bliss at Pine Lodge. Prior to the opening of the Carolina, Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Priest and Miss Lucy Priest came down early and occupied their cottage after a pleasant summer's sojourn in the Maine woods. It is pleas ing to announce that Miss Lucy's health is much improved. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Tufts arrived .immediately after the wedding. Albert, who is attending school at Brown, and James, who enters his second year at Middlesex, will be missed by the younger set. Eichard has taken upon his shoulders the extensive burden of building new cot tages and experimenting in the peach game. After a pleasant summer's sojourn on the coast of Long Island, Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. Hudson were early arrivals. Since his arrival, Mr. Hudson has been busily engaged in the perplexities of ar ranging the varied golfing carnival for the Tin Whistles. Mr. Stuyvesant LeEoy timed his alarm clock exactly right and arrived for the opening of the Pinecrest Inn. Welcome' home. After officiating at the Tufts-Lewis wedding ceremony, Eev. T. A. Cheatham, with Mrs. Cheatham spent several weeks at Lakeview as the guests of Mrs. Seward before coming to Pinehurst to take up the pastorate for the season. Mr. Nat S. Hurd and Mrs. Hurd were early arrivals. Mr. ' Hurd has strength ened his already formidable racing string and bids fair to hold a strong hand for some of the big purses when racing is resumed on Thanksgiving Day. The matter of looking after his newly acquired peach orchards and remodeling his cottage kept Mr. E. S. Scofield on the grounds pretty much all summer. Hei was joined by Mrs. Scofield and their young son early in October. Mr. Jack Latting, together with his sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dudgeon Jr., remained in this section throughout the summer, and has been busy with plans for the extensive development of their land holdings.

Little House, the attractive home of Mr. J. H. Andrews, has been painted and brightened up and presents a charming appearance. Mr. Andrews and family are expected momentarily. Lured by the mystic and fantastic words that the ghosts and other invisible spirits would walk and meet at the Har vard, a group of young Pinehurstians as sembled and proceeded to make merry and celebrate Hallowe'en at the, kind in vitation of Miss Frances Thomas and Miss Gladys Dunlop. As hostesses they were supreme, and a most pleasant evening was enjoyed in dancing, games and fortune-telling. Much to the delight of their many friends, Dr. and Mrs. Myron W. Marr ,are with us again, and, of course, will reside at the Carolina. Mrs. Spencer Waters and children have leased the cottage of Miss Belle Fitz gerald, and just across the way in the Box cottage Mrs. 0. C. Hoyt will be established for the season.
