Old Cheltenham Families United: Bride’s Lace Train: The wedding of Mr. Robert Symons Burton and Miss Margaret Anne Willoughby at the Parish Church to-day was one of the most interesting that has taken place in Cheltenham for some time. Both Miss Willoughby and Mr. Burton are members of families that have resided in Cheltenham for several generations. Mr. Burton is the son of the late Lieut-Colonel A. R. Burton and Mrs. Burton, of Trevalgar, Cheltenham, and Miss Willoughby is the daughter of the late Captain and Mrs. E. C. Willoughby. Captain Willoughby was editor of the Gloucestershire Echo at the time of his death during the war. The bride has been living with her grandmother, Mrs. Ryland, at Ombersley, Cheltenham. Miss Willoughby and her younger sister, Miss June Willoughby, have many friends throughout Cheltenham and Gloucestershire. Besides being very well known in the social circles of the district, they have made a name for themselves as keen and promising golfers. They also play tennis and squash rackets and are the equal of many men players in these games. Great sympathy is extended to Miss June Willoughby, who, being unwell is unable to be the chief bridesmaid to her sister. Mr. Burton is a lieutenant in the Royal Artillery. The calling of the Army is one that many members of his family have followed: MANY FRIENDS AT CHURCH: There were many friends at the Parish Church, where the Rev. Gordon Sheldon, rector of Cheltenham, officiated. The bride’s gown was of “off white” heavy satin, and it fell in rich folds, forming a train, over which beautiful old Limerick lace hung. The headdress comprised a net cap enriched by pearls and orange blossom. The bride was given away by her cousin, Mr. Roy Pinsent …

Mentally Defective Children: A National Problem: Drastic Measures Needed: Lecture by Dr. Garrett: … … The necessity of the aftercare of those arrived at the age to leave school had been appreciated by persons with experience of the special schools; and something had been done by voluntary effort in Manchester, Birmingham, and London, in which connection he acknowledged the service of Mrs. Hume Pinsent and Dr. Caroline O’ Connor in providing him with particulars of the methods employed by the Birmingham subcommittee. In Birmingham it had been found that the only feasible plan for exercising adequate supervision was by collecting all the worst cases together in a resident colony, for the following reasons: — 1) To enable them to contribute to their own support: (2) to save them from vicious habits; (3) to save them from harsh treatment at home and in the streets; (4) to prevent them becoming drunkards, criminals, and prostitutes: (5) to prevent them giving birth to children who would only further burden the community. He gave statistics of the results of the efforts in Birmingham to find employment for these as free workers and drew the lesson that the business of dealing in a voluntary way with them was hopeless, and that it was absolutely necessary to take all into permanent public charge in industrial establishments or colonies. …

Tasker Divorce Suits: The hearing of the Tasker divorce suite was resumed this morning. Mr. Tasker, cross-examined, said he taunted his wife with being a butcher’s daughter because she wanted to make out that she had so many swell friends. He accompanied his wife to one of the masquerade ball dressed as Mr. McGooseley in Ally Sloper (laughter). Miss Tasker deposed to stopping at hotels with Mrs. Tasker. When Paton was there Mrs. Tasker was always about with one man or the other. Witness never saw any act of familiarity or impropriety either with Mr. Paton or Mr. Lowe. Ellen Pinsent, formerly chambermaid at a Plymouth hotel said that when the parties stayed there Mr. Paton occupied a bedroom opposite Mrs. Tasker’s. Two- or three-nights Paton’s bed was not occupied, and Mrs. Taskers looked as if two had slept there.
