WEDDING OF ARTISTS

There was a Bohemian touch at the London wedding of Miss Meraud Guinness, the 24-year-old daughter of Mr Benjamin Guinness, the millionaire, and Senor Alvaro Guevara, the young Chilian artist, whom she met a few months ago at a Paris art exhibition. The bride wore a red velvet costume with black lacepierrot collar and cuffs. Sho had bright red shoes and beige stockings. Her black hat was trimmed with a red feather and she wore an ornament of brilliants in her buttonhole. At the last moment, as the ceremony at the Henrietta Street, Covent Garden register office was about to start, the bride suddenly exclaimed, “I want some flowers! Oh, do please get me some flowers/’ she exclaimed, turning to the guests. A woman friend at once rushed out to a neighbouring florist and soon returned with a large bouquet of daffo- , dils and white lilac, This she handed to the bride, and the registrar was then

able to proceed with the ceremony. Mies Guinness was a student at the Slade School, and she has also studied in France. Kecently she gave an exhibition of her work in Paris, and its futuristic tendencies caused a great deal of discussion. Miss Guinness, however, is not altogether indifferent to the claims of society life, for one of the most attractive balls of the season was that given for her by her mother at Carlton House Terrace, when 400 guests attended in masks, which were not removed until midnight.
