A "ROSE" WEDDING

Preparations for tho rose wedding ol the Earl of Warwick and Miss Rose Bingham occupied almost every resident in tho tiny village of Glyndo, which nestles below tbc Sussex Downs. White roses and tall pillars of crimson ramblers decorated the tiny church, which is a copy of one of Wren’s old London churches, and the high oak pews barely accommodated the one hundred and fifty guests invited to tho ceremony (states tho ‘Daily Telegraph’). Lord Warwick arranged for a special train to convey his tenants and guests from Warwick, and school children lined Hie GOft long pathway from lych-gate to porch. With her dress of rose-petal_ satin, tinted faintly pink. Miss Rose Bingham wore the pearl necklace which was her gift from the bridegroom. Her long train had insets of fine lace made into a triangular pattern, and its border was a rounded flounce of tulle. On this the tnllo veil vested to make a gossamer effect.

Miss Patricia "Brand awaited the bride 1 at the lych-gate, to hold her train while she walked up the long path, and her seven bridesmaids greeted her in the wide belfry porch carrying the red cottage roses which are the bride’s name flower. One member of the family was missing at this wedding. The Dowager Countess of Rosslyn, who is greatgrandmother to both the bride and bridegroom, regretted that she “ couldn’t see her dear great-grand-children married.” But she is ninetyfour, and not able to travel from her homo near Regent’s Park. Sybil Lady Eden, grandmother of the bridegroom on his mother’s side, is ninety-five.

The honeymoon was spent motoring in Switzerland. Italy, and the South of Franco. Lord Warwick and his bride returned early in August in order to give a garden parly to the tenantry at Warwick Castle before they left for shooting parties in Yorkshire and Scotland.

One very novel wedding present was a floating mattress for the sea, from Ladv Angela St. Clair Frskine. Willi Ladv Bingham, General S'V Coeil Bingham gave her granddaughter a silver fox fur; Lady Milbanko’s gift was a white handbag.
