WEDDING

MORRIS—HILLS The marriage of Miss Winifred Alice Hills to Mr William Irwin Morris was celebrated recently by Canon F. B. Redgrave at St. Barnabas’ Church, Fendalton. Mr M. N. Williams played the wedding music. The bride wore an ankle-length picture frock of pann blue chiffon over blue taffeta, the bodice being swathed at the neckline and honeycombed at the shoulders. The long, full sleeves were caught in at the wrists, and the skirt was suriray pleated. Her hat of navy embroidered crinoline was lightly swathed under the brim with chiffon to match her frock, the ends falling to the waistline at the back. Cyclamen, gladioli, and maidenhair fern composed the sheaf which she carried. Frocks of paon blue georgette, relieved with navy pin spots, and mounted on blue taffeta shot with green, were worn by the two bridesmaids, Misses Mona Trollope and Shirley Shankland. The Grecian bodices of the frocks had short, high puffed sleeves, and navy sashes of georgette extended to the hemlines at the back. Their chenille spotted veils of navy net wore caught high on one side of the head with navy and paon blue flowers, and flowers shading from blue to cyclamen were arranged in their shower bouquets. ■ Miss Helen Macdonald, niece of the bride, who attended as flower girl, wore a long frock of georgette, of the same shade as the bridesmaids’ frocks, patterned with navy pin spots, and finished with a navy sash. Her Victorian posy was of fuchsias and maidenhair fern. Mr R. Morris was best man, and Mr George Parsons was groomsman. At the reception, held in Bcath’s grey room, the guests were received by the bride’s sister, Mrs D. I. Macdonald, who was wearing a storm blue model frock and hat-and accessories to tone. For travelling, the bride wore a navy frock with a navy fur felt hat, and matching accessories. She wore also a musquash fur coat, the gift of the bridegroom.

Possibly the oldest twins on the North American continent are Mrs Mehitable Brenton and Mrs Rhoda Dartt, who are 97 years old. They live near Truro, near Halifax, and have never been out of their native province. The climate of this portion of Canada is conducive to long life, as shown by the number of persons who reach 80 and 90 years, and even reach- the century.
