From the shou]ders Ml a filmy train of exquisite Limerick lace, tho gift of the Reverend Mother ; and Sisters of the Lewi sham Rospitill, mounted on ivory georgette and folded to form a deep dollar. Her soft tulle veil, edged lightly with silver, was very long and held in position by a half-circlet of orange-blossom buds across the back of the head, and instead of the orthodox bouquet she carried a sheaf of white arum lilies.

Tli© three bridesmaids—Miss Peggy Norton (sister of the bride), Miss Betty Rutherford(cousin of the bridegrooom) and Miss Joyce Gibson —made an attractive group in their frocks of silver tissue, like the bride's, but, unliko hers, a note of colour was introduced in the row of hand-made flowers —in soft shades of lilac, blue and peach-pink round the hem—and a pastel-tinted rose on the right shoulder, held a long scarf of ivory georgette bordered with silver tissue.
