WEDDING BELLS HANLEY— MILLS.

A quiet but very pretty wedding was solemnised at St. Joseph’s Cathedral, Dunedin, on October 27, when Caroline Lily, only daughter of Mrs. M. Williams and the late Mr. George Mills, of Queensberry, Otago Central, was married to Albert Edward, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Hanley, of Hastings Street, Kaikorai. The Rev. Father Tylee officiated and celebrated Nuptial Mass. Mr. Vallis presided at the organ. The bride, who was led to the altar by Mr. G. Small, wore a dainty frock of ivory broche Africane. A gathered apron front was attached to the low waistline and finished at the left side with a cluster of silver leaves. A narrow stole of the material falling from a tiny cluster of silver leaves on the left shoulder, down behind the left arm, was caught at the waist and hung in a wide end at the bottom of the apron front. A beautifully hand-embroider-ed tulle veil was mounted on a pearl-trimmed coronet finished at the sides with tiny sprays of orange blossom. The bride carried a bouquet of deep cream roses, white sweet peas and maidenhair fern. The bridesmaids were Misses N. Ryan and J. Barclay. The former wore a pretty frock (apricot crepe-de-Chine trimmed with small pearl buttons) with white hat, and carried a lavender bouquet with lavender streamers. The latter wore a simple frock (ivory crepe-de-Chine trimmed with lace), and a pale blue hat. She carried a bouquet of blue and white flowers with blue streamers. A little flower girl, Daphne Small, was daintily frocked in ivory crepe-de-Chine, piped with deep pink and trimmed around the waist with tiny pink rosettes and streamers. Her hat of pink georgette was trimmed with a small cluster of blue roses and she carried a basket of white flowers with pink streamers. The bridegroom was attended by his cousin, Mr. J. P. McCluskey. A reception was held at Kroon’s Hall, Moray Place. The Rev. Father Tylee presided, and the usual toasts were duly honored. Later, the newly-wedded couple left for the north, where the honeymoon was spent. The bride looked neat in a navy twill costume with hat to match. The young couple were the recipients of many useful and costly presents, including several cheques.
