“Job Hildreth” by Mrs. E. F. Pinsent (Arnold), is a pathetic and interesting study of a man, a carpenter by profession, with an intense love of beauty and a certain taste for art. This appreciation he unluckily confounds with genius, and is encouraged in the idea by Lady Elizabeth Hinton, the chief personage in his village. Lady Elizabeth sends him up to London, introduces him and his pictures to her friends, and helps him on to a certain fictitious success, holding him up as a great example of self-taught genius. When, however, besides patronising him as an artist, she tries to arrange a marriage between him and another of her protegees, he kicks over the traces, returns to his country home, and marries the little village girl who has loved him since the days when they were children together. The rest of the story is simply and pathetically told. How Job no longer gets a sale for his pictures, how his wife Sally works day and night to keep the little home together, until at last by poverty and despair he becomes temporarily insane, is all described forcibly, such allegories, and is well illustrated by Bauerle.

Wedding: Mr. William Annesley Eden to Mabel Pinsent: MANY weddings this week have been celebrated with extreme simplicity on account of the illness of relations. In the case of Mr. Eden and Miss Pinsent, however, although the number of invited guests was much curtailed owing to the serious illness of the Rev. R. R. Rackham, the ceremonial at Bintree Church on the 23rd was not deprived of pretty decorations or a choral service.
The Rev. J. L. Bennett, curate of Bintree, assisted by the Rev. J. N. Spurgeon, rector of Troyford, tied the bridal knot. The Bintree choir rendered the beautiful music introduced into the ceremony with great taste and discretion. Miss Mabel L. H. Pinsent is the daughter of the late Sir Robert Pinsent, D.C.L.., Judge of the Supreme Court of Newfoundland. The bridegroom, Mr. William Annesley Eden, of Foulsham, is the son of the Hon. Robert H. Shaw Eden, of Hillhampton House, Stourport.
The bride was given away by the Rev. Canon Norgate, acting on behalf of her mother, Lady Pinsent. Her dress, which was most becoming, was of ivory white satin with beautiful lace fichu, and Court train. She wore a tulle veil fastened with orange blossoms. Her shower bouquet and pearl bracelet were both gifts from the bridegroom. The two little pages who attended her were Masters Guy Pinsent (her brother) and Rob Hamond, the son of Charles Hamond, Esq., of Troyford Hall. They looked very sweet in white serge suits with pale blue silk sailor collars, and wore silver whistles the bridegroom’s present to them.
The one little bridesmaid was Miss Beatrice Pinsent, the small sister of the bride, who was prettily frocked in white serge, with a pale blue sash, to match the costume of the pages. She wore a big white felt hat, trimmed with blue and white, and carried a huge basket of beautiful pink and white flowers. The handsome double-heart brooch, of gold and pearls, that the little maiden wore, was the bridegroom’s gift. Mr. Baron Brooke acted as best man.
The small wedding party adjourned after the ceremony to the rectory, where the relatives and intimate friends of the contracting parties were hospitably entertained by Mrs. Rackham, the bride’s charming grandmother. By the 4.20 train Mr. and Mrs. Eden left Bintree for London, where the honeymoon is to be spent. The travelling costume worn by the bride was of olive-green habit cloth, braided, and trimmed with dark fur; with hat en suite.
