RILEY—GRAHAM. A wedding which created much interest was celebrated last week in Dunedin between Dr. Frederick Radcliff Riley and Miss Susie Graham, fourth daughter of Mr C. C.

The bodice was tucked, and had a yoke, and elbow- sleeves of transparent lace, the decolletage being edged witli rich pearl embroidery. She carried a lovely, shower bouquet, and her veil was of lace, fastened with a cluster of orange blossoms. There were two bridesmaids, Miss Clara Graham (the bride's sister), and Miss Gertrude Rattray, both dressed in white silk, tucked and accordion pleated, the bodices having transparent yokes of ecru lace. They wore picturesque black felt hats strapped with velvet, ami carried shower bouquets of scarlet earnations and maiden-hair ferns. The chief bridesmaid received a gold cable bangle, and the other a gold muff chain, from the bridegroom. Mrs Graham, mother of the bride, wore a handsome black silk dl-ess, elaborately tucked and trimmed with jet, and a long black velvet mantle. Her bonnet was of black with scarlet flowers, and she carried a red and white shower bouquet. Mrs Edward Graham’s costume was dark brown, with a vest of erftimy lace, and a toque of brown velvet.
