WEDDINGS
Kitching—Richards At St. Alban’s Church, Eastbourne, recently, Annie Wainwright (Wayne), elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. G. W. Richards, Eastbourne, was married to William David Poynton, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Kitching, Wellington. The bride, who was escorted by her father, wore a charming gown of white satin and silver lame, closely fitting, with long sleeves falling in points over the hands. Her veil of white embroidered tulle was held in place with a coronet of orange blossom, falling in graceful folds over her train, and she carried a shower bouquet of white carnations and maidenhair fern with trails of asparagus fern and hoyea. The attendant bridesmaids, Miss Ainsley Richards, sister of the bride, Miss Molly Duncan, niece of the bridegroom, and Miss Joan Withel, wore frocks of pink moss crepe, cut on straight lines and slightly trained, and their headdresses were half-wreaths of velvet leaves to tone, caught at nape of the neck with a tulle bow. Their bouquets were of pink carnations and
’ maidenhair fern, and each wore a silver armlet, the gift of the bridegroom. Mr. Gregory was best man and , Messrs. Carr and Millington were the groomsmen. The service was fully choral, and was led by a choir under the conductorship of Mr. Probert, with Mr. Wade at the organ. The church decorations of pink and blue hydrangeas were carried out by friends of the bride. A white satin cushion was placed at the chancel steps, and overhead hung a beautiful wedding bell of white and pink hydrangeas. After the ceremony the guests were received by Mr. and Mrs. Richards at the Masonic Hall, the latter wearing a dress of midnight blue crepe and hat to match and carrying a bouquet of au-tumn-tinted flowers. Mr. and Mrs. W. D> P. Kitching left for a motor tour, the latter wearing a beige moss crepe and lace frock, with hat to match and a brown fur coat. ■ FIRESIDE PARTIES Family Needlework The almost forgotten fashion of “family” needlework, some large piece to which each woman member of the family contributes, is being revived by home-loving modern women, says an English exchange, Recent needlework exhibitions have given an impetus to this group embroidery vogue. A notable example is the set of chair seats worked in tapestry stitch by the Queen and her ladies-in-waiting. I Lady Chichester, Lady Wimborue, Lady Maureen Stanley and Lady Redesdale were among the well-known women who attended an unusual exhibition of t'amllv needlewor® in London last month. Pieces worked by three generations of one family include Elizabethan, Georgian and Victorian embroideries. They were shown bv the Hon. Mrs. Owen Edwardes, Lord Kensington’s daughter-in-law, and were done bv her mother, grandmother, and great-grand-mother. Some of the pieces were done jointly j and many of them were done at fam- • ily needlework parties by the fireside or in the garden. Florentine embroideries by Mrs, Edwardes’s great-grandmother, Mr«. Newall, Elizabethan black and white work by her grandmother. Mrs. Norman Cookson, and an embroidered gold satin hanging that took her mother, Mrs. Shearman, six years to do, and was copied from an altar frontal, were among the exhibits
