The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a filmy gown of white marquisette with an off-the-shoulder decolletage and puff sleeves. Tiny white satin true lovers' knots were scattered on the bodice and wide skirt. The white tulle veil, bordered with chantilly lace, was arranged on the hair with a spray of orange blossom. She carried a Victorian posy of white flowers. Mrs. L. G. A. Wilson, sister of the bride, was matron-of-honor and Miss Audrey Cresswell bridesmaid. They were frocked alike in dainty wide-skirted white chiffon, printed with a trailing design of rose pink and blue poppies, with a pointed shirred waist band. Draped white chiffon outlined the armholes and decolletage. A crisp white bow adorned the hair, and they carried loosely arranged delphiniums tied with satin ribbon. Mr. L.
