She was attended by Miss Minnie Kennedy as bridesmaid. The bridegroom, Mr. P. J. Fitzgerald, was supported by his brother, Mr. T. Fitzgerald,' as best man. The bride was attired in satin : charmeuse, trimmed with lace and pearl trimming. She wore the usual wreath and veil, and a lovely bangle with diamond and emerald settings, the gift of the bridegroom. The bridesmaid wore a pretty cream frock with lace coatee, black tagel hat with blue flowers and foliage. The bridegroom’s present was a pretty brooch. Both the bride and bridesmaid carried each’ a lovely bouquet, the gift of Miss Baybutt. The bride’s present to the bridegroom was a gold chain.
