Shaw-Mayne. A pretty wedding was solemnized In St. Augustine's church on Tuesday morning, September 10, when Rev. F. Connolly united in marriage Winnifred Mae, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mayne, and Mr. Alfred Sidney Shaw, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Shaw. The bride, who entered the church on the arm of her father to the strains of the wedding march, played by the church organist, Miss Teresa Holmes, wore a wedding gown of Ivory georgette over white satin, fashioned along simple lines, the skirt of uneven hemline dipping to the heels of her white kid slippers. Her filmy net veil was fashioned in Juliet cap effect and held in place with a wreath of orange blossoms, and her shower bouquet was composed of Ophelia roses, lily of the valley, and white carnations. Miss Rose Coughlan. as bridesmaid, wore a dress of Jade green cut velvet, made with a tight-fitting, sleeveless bodice and full skirt with uneven hemline. She wore a large picture hat trimmed to match with long velvet streamer, and her arm bouquet was composed of orange-yellow gladioli and pale pink carnations. Mr. Wilfrid Mayne, brother of the bride, supported the groom, while acting as ushers were Mr. wuiiara[illegible] and Mr. Frank Read. During the signing of the register Miss Delia McDonald sang "Ave Maria." After the ceremony, a wedding breakfast was served at the home of the bride's parents. The rooms were prettily decorated in pink and white, and the bride's table was centered with a three-tier wedding cake embedded In white tulle, with tall pink tapers In sweet peas in alter vases. The bridal party stood under a large white wedding bell to receive the guests. After, Mr. and Mrs. Shaw left by motor for Seattle and Portland, where they will spend their honeymoon. The bride donned for traveling a sports model of cocoa brown a la crepe with brown felt hat and brown shoes and stockings. On their return, they will make their home in the city.
