VICKERS—HALL.

The wedding of Mr. Herbert Theodore Vickers, son of Mr. Isaac Vickers, of Rosebourne, Bendigo, and Miss Hannah Amelia Hall, fourth daughter of the late Rev. G. T. Hall, of Ebenezer, Napier-street, Fitzroy, took place at the Primitive Methodist Church, Carlton, on Friday, November 9, the Rev. Henry Heathershaw officiating. The bride was given away by her uncle, and was attended by Miss Minnie Hall (her sister), Miss Vickers (sister of the bridegroom), Miss Dulcie Ferguson, and Miss Jessie Ferguson. Mr. W. E. G. Salter was best man, and Mr. Kitson acted with him as groomsman. After the ceremony a reception was held in the schoolroom, and a wealth of floral decorations, arranged with exceptional taste, formed an admirable setting to an interesting ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Vickers, jun., left for Westernport smothered with a shower of rose leaves. The bride's wedding dress was a beautiful costume of Liberty silk, trimmed with insertion and lace, and her veil, which was embroidered, was caught up with sprays of natural orange blossom. She carried a handsome shower bouquet of choice white flowers. Her travelling dress was of fawn. Miss Hall wore pink zephyr, trimmed with insertion and ribbon : Miss Vickers cream delaine, trimmed with lace and heliotrope ribbon; and the Misses Ferguson Liberty silk, trimmed with insertion and ribbon. Each of the latter carried a basket of very pretty pink roses, with maidenhair ferns.
