HEATH—COX.

Mr. William Cox's residence, Bocoble, Triangle, was the scene of a very pretty wedding on July 15, when Albert Charles, third son of Mr. T. Heath, of Burwood, late of Crudine, was married to Nellie, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Cox, of Bocoble, Triangle. The bride was given away by her father. She wore a dainty gown of cream crepe de chene, with train adorned with sprigs of orange blossoms. She wore a coronet of orange blossoms and a tulle bridal veil, and carried a bouquet of white blooms, tied with white streamers. Miss Violet Heath, of Burwood (sister of the bridegroom) and Misses Marjorie and Lucy Cox, of Capertee Valley (neices of the bride), attended as bridesmaids and wore becoming gowns of cream silk, with pink ribbons. Their gifts from the bridegroom were gold brooches. Mr. Arthur Heath (brother of the bridegroom) acted as best man. The wedding guests were entertained at breakfast at the residence of the bride's mother at Bocoble. The bridegroom's present to the bride was a gold cable bangle, and the bride's present to the bridegroom was a suit case. The wedding presents were both numerous and costly. Mr. and Mrs. Heath left by motor for Mudgee, thence by train to Sydney and Manly, where the honeymoon will be spent. Mr. and Mrs Heath's new home will be at Crudine.
