broidered with delicate pink, blue and green miniature sprays of flowers in at tractive promiscuous fashion as though lightly sprinkled on, over white satin. The cross-over corsage had small short puff sleeves and a belt of intriguing little pink organza leaves encircled the waist, The skirt fell in soft full folds to the floor and was finished at the back with a long slender train composed of narrow frills of the delicately patterned organza. Her misty white tulle veil was worn off the face and held in place on her head with a semi-circlet of tiny pale pink organza leaves with a small spray of orange blossom in the centre, and fell in filmy folds down the back. Her only ornament was a beautiful brooch of diamonds set in platinum in the form of an aviator's badge, the gift of the bridegroom. In lieu of the conventional sheaf or posy she carried a muff of blue delphiniums, hydrangeas and Cecil Brunner roses mounted on and edged with fluffy frills of tulle with long trails of the same flowers, which lent a charming finishing note to her bridal toilet which suited the petite figure to perfection. There were two bridesmaids, Misses Josephine Dobson (sister of the bride) and Joan Salom. Both wore dainty frocks of turquoise blue organza over blue satin, fashioned on simple Edwardian lines, the corsages sleeveless and pin-tucked, the front of the low neck and the belt finished with small bows of the organza, and the long full skirts falling in soft flutey folds to the ground. On their heads they wore turquoise blue tulle veils falling to just below the waist line and held in place with fascinating topnots of Cecil Brunner roses. Large posies of pink frangapani, Cecil Brunner roses, gerberras and maiden hair fern edged with a blue tulle frill and silver holders completed their attractive toilets. Mr. Donald Dobson (brother of the bride) was best man, and Mr. R. O. Giles was groomsman, andMessrs. Peter Conner and Graeme Cameron were the ushers at the church. *Mrs. Dobson (mother of the bride) wore a trained frock of Nile green French faille patterned with a miniature gold leaf design, the corsage fashioned with Empire effect with shoulder straps and belt of plaited gold lame, and a matching coatee finished at the waist with a gold frog. Instead of a hat she wore an artistic twisted bandeau of pale green and gold lame finished at the back with a small bow and she carried an exquisite bouquet of gold roses and maiden hair fern. Mrs. G. H. Bostock (grandmother of' the bride) wore a graceful gown of beautiful black lace, and a black hat. After the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Dobson held a reception at the Oddfellows Hall in St. George's-terrace, where the wedding breakfast was served, during which the customary toasts were honoured and afterwards dancing was enjoyed for some hours. During the evening the bride and bridegroom left by motor car for their honeymoon midst showers of good wishes from their many friends. The bride travelled in a frock of navy blue French crepe de chine with white pin spots, with white collar and belt, and white buttons down the front from the neck to the hem of the skirt, and a navy blue tailored wool-de-chine."
