QUIET WEDDING

DORREEN—SINCLAIR BRIDE IN BOLERO SUIT A pretty wedding of considerable interest to a wide circle of friends was quietly solemnised in Holy Trinity Church. Derby Street, last Saturday morning, when Ruth Mildred, only daughter of Mr, and Mrs. W. J. Sinclair. Rawiri street, Gisborne, was married to James Moore, only son ot Mrs. Dorreen and the late Mr. E.
