The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a dress of ivory satin Duchesse trimmed with old Limerick lace and sprays of orange blossom, and carried a bouquet of lilies of the valley, gardenias, orange blossom, and white lilac; her veil was fastened with orange blossom and a diamond star, one of the numerous wedding gifts. Two little children, Miss Betty Birkbeck and Miss Ruth Haggard, attended as trainbearers, dressed in ivory Liberty velveteen, each wearing a small gold bracelet presented by the bridegroom. Capt. Lysons acted as best man. The reception was held at Bailey's Hotel, the bride and bridegroom leaving before five o'clock for Oxford. The bride's travelling dress of cloth, of a delicate shade of beaver, had a pale blue cloth waistcoat, and with it was worn a long black Thibet boa, the hat being one of the new black beavers simply trimmed to harmonise with the dress.^[4]
