WILMETTE L'IFE June 29, 1928 I Church News and Announcements Indians Come Back Dinner Celebrates Silver Wedding of Edwin B. Knudtsons (Contributed) "No thank you," said Edwin B. Knudtson, of 1141 Chestnut avenue, when invited by a friend to come and spend the evening of Sat~rday, J un~ 23 at his home. "My Wife tells me w~ have a date with John Brashear tonight." Mr. Knudtson, who is president of the First National bank of Wilmette, is a trusting fellow, (borrowers please note) and evidently suspected nQ hidden 'motive behind the invitation. which was for dinner at the Riverside Inn at Wheeling, but when he and Mrs. Knudtson entered the room, to be greeted by the music of the "Wedding March from Lohengrin," and escorted to their places at the head of a table laid for twelve, under a running fire of confetti, (not the Irish va~iety), their faces showed very plainly that they felt their trust. had Qeen rotsplaced. The occa sion of the party, which was tendered them by a group of their friend5, was the celebratio11 of their silver wedding anniversary, and as 1 they took their places under a bower of roses, the bride bearing a sumptuous bouquet, the gift of the company, their expressions of complete bewilderment were sufficient evidence that the entire proceeding was a perfeet surprise to them. After dt'ntler, following some of the toast.; peculiar to the anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. Knudtson were advised that the ceremony of matrimony, like vaccinat'ion, should be renewed at intervals of not over twenty-five years, in order to avoid the danger of affinities or companionate marriage, and accordingly they were remarried and sentenced to a further term of twcnty-five yea rs, and then, as a reward for past performance, presented \Yith the a!)propriate number of s ilver clolIars.
