SMYTH—SMAILL

The wedding was solemnised at St. David’s Memorial Church, Cave, on Thursday, of Richard Barnsley, only son of Mr and Mrs R. B. Smyth, Albury, late of Donaghadee, Ireland, to Janet Charlotte, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs A. Smaill, Albury, and granddaughter of the late Rev. and Mrs A. R. D. Tosswill. The Rev. W. Marshall officiated, while Miss Muriel Smith presided at the organ. Messrs Ken Harrow and Arthur Smaill were best man and groomsman respectively. While the register was being signed, Miss Adelaide Allchurch sang “O Perfect Love.” The bride, who entered the church with her father, wore a frock of dainty crepe de chene with a corsage of white lace. A plaited band finished the frock at the neck and the soft folds of the skirt fell into a train. A plaited girdle encircled her waist, and the veil was held in place by a coronet of orange blossom. She carried a spray of white and cream stock and ferns. The bridesmaids, Misses Heather and Barbara Smaill (sisters of the bride) were dressed in frocks of blue floral georgette. A frilled cape hung from the yoke and the ankle-length skirts were flared with a V-shaped line of double frills from knee to hem. They wore large-brimmed blue straw hats and carried bouquets of carnations and cornflowers. The flower girl, Muriel Smaill, whose frock was a miniature of the bridesmaids, more a bandeau of pink rosebuds and carried a posy of buds. After the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride’s parents, where the bride’s mother received the guests wearing a black ensemble relieved with touches of white, and a fine black straw hat. She carried a bouquet of lavender tinted flowers. When the bridal couple left for a tour of the Southern Lakes, the bride wore a blue ensemble with accessories to tone.
