J. Duncan, Monck’s Spur, Redcliffs. The Rev. T. M. Curnow performed the ceremony, and Miss Jean Smith, of Clarkville, was organist. The bride, who was escorted by her father, wore a marina blue tailored frock, with shirred bodice and buttons on the sleeves, front, and centre back. Her halo hat, relieved with gold, matched her accessories, and she carried a shower bouquet of cream roses, chrysanthemums, and freesias. Miss Margery Duncan, the bridegroom’s sister, attended the bride. She wore a henna tailored frock and hat to match, and carried a bouquet in shades to tone. Mr Gordon Duncan attended his brother as best man. The bride, on leaving the church, was presented with a lucky horseshoe by Miss Julia Tozer. . The reception was afterwards held in the Clarkville Peace Hall where the bride’s mother received the guests.
