WEDDING IN MELBOURNE

DAUGHTER OF GOVERNOR Because of Court mourning, the marriage to-day of the Hon. Sara Carola Vanneck, elder daughter of Their Excellencies the Governor of Victoria, Lord Huntingfield, and Lady Huntingfield, to Mr. David Arthur Peel, only son of the late Rev. the Hon. Maurice Peel, M.C., and Mrs. Peel, of England, was celebrated very quietly, wrote a Melbourne correspondent on April 14. The hour of the ceremony was kept a close secret, and immediately the bridal party and the guests had arrived at St. Paul's Cathedral the doors were closed and guarded. There was ojjly a small crowd at the cathedral when the bells began to peal, but the sound of the bells attracted many other persons and there were nearly 1000 people awaiting the arrival of the bride and her father. The bride wore an exquisite robe of vellum tinted satin, sweeping into, a rivulet train. A magnificent veil of rarp old lace, which had been worn by her grandmother and by her mother, was arranged very simply over her fair hair and fell like a cape over the gleaming gown. A narrow coronet of pearls was worn across .the hair just below the veil, and her charming posy bouquet was of lily of the valley and orange blossom. The ceremony was performed by Archbishop Head, assisted by the Bishop of Geelong, Bishqp Booth, and the sub-dean, Canon Sutton. The bride was- unattended. The best man was Lieutenant A. W. D. Robertson.
