Sheehan, and Mr. Alfred J. Wilson, son of the late Mr. James Wilson and Mrs. Wilson, of Wellington. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father Hurley, Adm. The bride was given away by her brother-in-law, Mr. Martin Gleeson, and wore a costume of cream serge with lace vest, and panne velvet hat. She was attended by her sister, Miss Evelyn Sheehan, as bridesmaid, who wore a navy blue costume and hat of black velvet. Mr. Harold Jansen was the best man. After the ceremony a reception was held at Godber's rooms, in Courtenay place, where the guests were received by the bride's sister, Mrs. Gleeson. During the afternoon the customary toasts were proposed by Mr. Rodgers, Mr. Durnett, Mr. Jance, Mr. Burke, Mr. Gleeson, Mr. Oakes, and Mr. Wilson, and the bride and bridegroom left later for their honeymoon, the bride wearing a costume of elderberry-colored resilda cloth, with hat to match.

Mr. and Mrs. Wilson received many valuable presents, among them a handsome case of cutlery from the staff of the Vacuum Oil Company. §
