The bride was given away by her father; her sister, Miss Jessie, attended as bridesmaid ; and Mr N. D. McKenzie, brother.of the bride, acted as groomsman. The bride looked most charming in a plain delaine frock, trimmed, with old English lace and carried a beautiful bouquet of ferns and snowflakes. After the ceremony tho guests were hospitably entertained by their hosts, Mr and Mrs McKenzie.
