The bride, who entered the church with her father, was handsomely gowned in ivory crepe de chene and georgettee. The frills of georgette were edged with ribbon and pearls. She wore a court train of ivory georgettee. lined with shell pink charmeuse, and over all fell a soft tulle veil, caught with bandeau of ribbon and sprays of otange blossom. Little Eilee Coulter gracefully acted as train-bearer. prettily dressed in white georgettee, with butterfly bow of shell pink silk in her hair. The bride's other attendants were Miss Violet Gray, sister of the groom, and Miss Marjory Homes, sister of the bride, who both wore pretty frocks of pale green and old gold crcpe le echeue, respectively, with scarves to match. They both wore becoming black hats. The groom was capably supportcd by his cousin, Mr W. Huntingford. Mr F. Holmes, brother of the bride, was groomsman. As the wedding group left the church the organist (Miss M. Coulter) played the Wed-ing March. Mr and Mrs Holmes received their guests at McNamara's Cafe, where the wedding tea was served. After the toasts were duly honored, Mr and Mrs Gray left by the afternoon train for the met-ropolis, en route to spend the honey moon. The bride travelled in an ensemble suit of brown crepe de chen and repp, beautifully beaded, and wore a becoming hat to match.
