Berle-Hill

The wedding of Miss Avis Wheeler Hill and Mr. Theodore Pratos Berle, at the home of the bride's parents on Main St., North Woburn, at 6:30 last evening, was one of the prettiest home weddings of the season. The large old fashioned house with its spacious hall and rooms, beautifully decorated with ferns, palms, leaves and roses made a splendid setting for the auspicious event.

The ceremony was performed by Rev. George H. Tilton, pastor of the North Congregational Church. Mr. Charles R. Carter, of this city was best man, and the maid of honor was the younger sister of the bride, Miss Elizabeth Putnam Hill. The members of the Alpha Kappa Chi of Wellesley College of which she was a member, also attended the bride en suite.

The marriage was solemnized in a room banked with young oaks and maples and the library and hall were prettily decorated with crimson and white peonies.

The bride wore a gown of white Japanese crepe, with tulle and old family lace, and carried a shower bouquet of lilies of the valley. Her bridal veil was fastened with a spray of lilies of the valley.

The bridesmaid was attired in organdie muslin and carried a bouquet of pale pink sweet peas tied with a ribbon of the same shade.

The couple were the recipients of an unusually large number of wedding gifts both useful and ornamental.

Following the ceremony a reception was given by the bride and groom assisted by Mr. and Mrs. William W. Hill, parents of the bride, and Mr. Charles R. Carter, the best man. There was a large attendance of relatives and friends including guests from New York, Pittsburg, Manchester, N. H., Boston, Winchester, Somerville, Medford, Woburn and elsewhere.

The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William W. Hill, and one of Woburn's most popular young ladies. She is a graduate of the Woburn high school, '04, and Wellesley college, class of '07.

The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Pratos Berle of St. Louis, Mo., a graduate of Oberlin college, with degrees from Yale, Andover, and Harvard colleges. He was for a time pastor of the North Congregational church in this city and is at present holding a responsible position in the New York office of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company.

After returning from an extended wedding tour, Mr. and Mrs. Berle will reside in New York city.
