School, where the bride was until recently a teacher, were present. Stately arum lilies decorated the altar and were also beautifully arranged in large bowls which stood oneither side of. the chancel steps. It was a most picturesque wedding.

' The bodice was shirred at the neckline and the puff sleeves were shirred at the shoulder and caught into a shirred band. Her veil, which formed a second and longer train, was a cloud of filmy ivory tulle, and a wreath of imitation orange blossom made of pearl encircled her head and held the veil in place. She carried a lovely bouquet of lily-of-the valley mixed with maidenhair fern, and wore a diamond and pearl brooch, ai gift from the ' bridegroom's mother.' Miss Susan wore a picture frock of ciel bleu chiffon", a band of blue in her hair, and carried a bouquet of shot silk roses. The frock was made with a long full skirt which fell from a high waist line, a round yoke edged with tiny frills, and little puff sleeves. The small page boys wore ceil blue velvet trousers of pin-width corduroy, and satin shirts of the same colour which had narrow frills around the little Peter Pan collars. 1 Mr. Charles Levin was the best man, and Messrs. Robert and Russell Whyte; R. E. Tripe, and Jim Vogel were ushers. A reception was held at the National Club, and the charming rooms with their attractive furnishings were beautifully decorated with flowers. There were large bowls of tall arum lilies and lovely mixed bowls of irises, blue lupins, and thrift.
