AT The Presbyterian Church, Pitt Town, on Saturday, March 23, was the scene of the wedding of Miss Elsie Maud Smallwood, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Small wood, of Maraylya Post Office, to Mr. Kirth John Moore Mitchell, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. T. Moore Mitchell, of Cattai. The Rev. David Baird officiated. The bride's dress was of crepe de chine, the front having a drape of silver lace caught up with tiny sprays of orange blossom. Her shoulder spray was also of orange blossom, and her bridal veil, embroidered in silver, was kept in place by a wreath of orange blossom. She carried a bouquet of white roses, tied with white streamers, to which were attached tiny rose buds and asparagus fern. The Misses Violet Smallwood and Daphne Mitchell, sisters of the bride and bridegroom respectively, acted as bridesmaids. They wore dresses of shell pink crepe de chine and georgette, with hats to match, and carried bouquets of pink roses tied with pink streamers. The bridegroom was attended by Messrs Milton Mitchell and Janies Smallwood, who gave his sister away. Owing to a recent bereavement only immediate relatives of the contracting parties were. entertained at the wedding breakfast, which was held at the home of the bride's parents. Mrs. Smallwood, who received the guests, was attired in a frock of black, crepe de chine, relieved with pearls, and a black hat. The future home of the newly wedded couple will be at Cattai.
