She carried a bouquet of pink sweet peas and stock. The bridegroom was attended by his brother, Mr. H. C. R. Reeve, of the First Echelon of tire Special Force. To receive the guests, Mrs. Dicker wore a frock of multi-coloured silk under a model coat of navy faille, with a navy hat. Mrs. Reeve was in au ensemble of navy cloque with hat to tone.

A usual method method for whitening discoloured lace is the following; Soak in thick whiting-water, a thin paste made with whiting (or whitening that is to say). Hang out to dry. Then wash quickly with soap and warm water and some of the whitening effect will remain. Iron on the wrong side when almost dry.
