DAINTY frocking was a feature of the wedding of Miss Mary CHATFIELD, third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. CHATFIELD, of Tam- min, and Mr. Thomas McDonald, third son of Mr. and Mrs. T. McDonald, of Perth, at St. Mark's Church, Tammin. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Gardner, and the bride was given away by her father.
The bride's gown was of white embossed satin, designed with a high neckline held with two diamente clasps, the corsage being slightly gathered into an uplift waistline and buttons adorning the back from neck to waist. The sleeves were long and tight-fitting, and the fitting skirt extended to form a long grace- ful train. A cut tulle veil was held with a coronet of orange blossom, and she carried a sheaf of arum lilies and roses.
The bridesmaids were Misses Jessie Chatfield and Gwen Marks, with little Bunny Frearson as flower-girl. The bridesmaids were dressed in lilac chiffon, with firefly skirts and three bands of deep violet velvet ribbon on the corsage. Silver headdresses with lilac net held in place with a spray of lilac were worn, and they carried artistic bou- quets of lilac and silver. The flower girl was dressed in lilac net made similarly to that of the bridesmaids, and carried a basket of lilac flowers.
Mr. Keith Watt was best man, and Mr. J. Chatfield groomsman, and dur- ing the signing of the register a solo was rendered by Miss H. Walther.
A reception was held at the home of the bride's parents, where Mrs. Chatfield was assisted by Mrs. T. McDonald in receiving the guests. The former chose a frock of black lace, and carried a bouquet of red roses. Mrs. McDonald wearing black and white sheer and carrying a gold posy.
Following the reception the bride and bridegroom left by car for Perth, the bride wearing a smart ensemble of burnt sienna roubaix with navy accessories. Mr. and Mrs. McDonald are making their home in Southern Cross.
