■WEDDING- SURPRISE AND PICNIC BREAKFAST Dr Adrian--Boult, the eminent conductor and-musical director of the British Broadcasting--Corporation, was married in July in the .village of Ditehling, Sussex. The bride was Mrs Ann Wilson, daughter of Captain F. A. E. Bowles, R.N. The wedding was .intended to be a secret one, and no one could have been more surprised than Dr Boult when ho found that the secret was out. An hour before tho ceremony he was seen in the Old Meeting House, Ditehling, where Free Christians have gathered for over 2000 years, with his great friend, Sir Walford Davies. "This is a terrible shock, ” said Dr Boult smilingly. “I thought, our secret was safe, but it is too much to be annoyed on such a day as this. I have no best man, my bride has no bridesmaids, and there is no reception. "We have a much better idea than that. Our wedding breakfast is to be a sandwich picnic on the Downs. Then we are going abroad, but I absolutely refuse to tell you where.” The ceremony took place in the Olfl Meeting House and lasted only a few minutes. Sir Walford Davies played an aria by Bach on the harmonium, and the couple walked to a table before the pulpit, where Dr Henry Gow, Unitarian minister at Brighton, married them.
