She wore her mother’s veil, which was arranged with a coronet of orange blossom. The train, which hung from the shoulders, was lined with palesf pink georgette, and she carried a shower bouquet of choice cream and pink hothouse flowers. Alisses Hazel and Jean Evans attended their sister as bridesmaids, the former wearing a dainty frock of rosepink georgette and silver lace, and the latter mauve georgette made on similar lines. Pretty little caps of tissue to match their frocks, outlined with pearls, were worn, and each carried a shower bouquet.
