In its account of the wedding, Table Talk, a "popular Australian Society journal, says: The tall, handsome bride wore a gown of cream, and silver figured charm- ouse, with a long train of silver lume. A silver head swathe and a side cluster of orange blossoms secured her exquisito old oval Limerick lace veil, lent by Mrs. P. Cooper, of Sydney. A sheaf of cretamen tinted flowers provided

The leading advocate of shorn locks did not depart from the general. opinion in this respect, but he expressed a preference for the healthy girl with a little beauty thrown in, rather than for the admittedly beautiful girl with the long hair of her mother.
