WOOD—RIGG.

The wedding of France Joan, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Eigg, Naseby Street, Merivale, to William Dcrislcy, youngor son of Mr. and Mrs. Derisley Wood, Cashmere Hills, took place at St. Mary's Church, Merivale, which was decorated with white flowers and silver leaves interspersed with maples for the ceremony, which was performed by the Rev. A. K. Warren. Mr.1 Alfred W^orsley was the organist. Mado on effectively s.implo lines suitablo to the rich, material, the bride's lovely gown of silver lame sheathed the figure to the knees, a triangular gpdet at the back widening out to form the- train. The "bodice fitted snugly at tho round neckline to the base of fhA throat, and the .long sleeves were fitted down their entire length. From a high rounded waistline the skirt swept in unbroken .lines falling in front just short of, the ground. The folds of a full Veil of unh'emmed tulle falling into a long tiain, softened the severity of tho frock. A circlet of silver leaves held the veil to her head with a little flaro of tulle forming an eye veil. A bridal sheaf of white orchids, begonias, and longiflorum lilies completed the effect . Tho five maids, Miss Yvetto Eigg, and Misses Jill and Judith Barker, Theresa Ward, and Eoso Hutton (Bangor), carried loose little posies of white begonias and rosebuds entwined with silver leaves toning in charmingly with their silver lame gowns. These were also characterised by extreme simplicity, the high necklines being slightly cowled and clasped at each side with a crystal clip. Dolman sleeves were a feature of the bodices. Tho skirts were slightly trained at the back. They wore tiny hats of silver lame perched at an attractive' angle on one side of their heads. .
