GLASS WEDDING CAR.

BRIDE A FAIRY PRINCESS. One of the most fashionable and beautifully arranged weddings seen in London for some time was that ,pf Miss Nancy Beaton and Sir Hugh Smiley. The bride looked like a fairy, princess (states the London Weekly Mail) when she left St. Margaret’s, Westminster, and drove away in her Cinderella coach, an all-glass motor-car which enabled the crowd to see her without rushing to peer in at the narrow door. Her gown was white crepe-de-chine with shoulder puffs above the long slim-fitting sleeves, and her overdress was bordered with ermine. That inevitable “lucky” touch of blue appeared as a bow of blue ribbon tying her bouquet of lilies of the valley and stephanotis. The blue appeared again in the smart sky bxue velvet jackets worn by the three pages. Their blue coats had silver lace cuffs and jabots, and were worn over silver

waistcoats and white satin knee breeches. The bridesmaids, who included two brides-to-be, Miss Margaret Whigham and Lady Anne Wellesley, were eight in number, and were “harnessed” with garlands of flowers. Their frocks were of - chalk-white chiffon and they wore chiffon veils reaching to the shoulders, and held in place by wreaths of flowers. . Mr. Cecil Beaton, the artist (brother of the bride), who was in charge of proceedings, assisted in. the planning of the bridesmaids’ dresses and the floral side of the wedding.
