The bride, given in marriage  by her father, was lovely in her two piece suit ofAirforce blue with  smart brown fur felt hat trimmed with veiling. She wore brown accessories with a corsage of sweet peas and roses.

Mrs Jack Skitch, the bride’s only attendant, was gowned in a frock of Queen’s blue crepe, with matching hat, and wearing a corsage of roses.
