This is a very large sum and, with the constant desire of everyone in the country to reduce costs, appears to offer a legitimate point of attack in the effort to reduce unnecessary expenses.

Holman, the organist, during the time the congregation was assembling, which merged into the singing of the hymn, "Lead us, Heavyâ€" enly Father Lead us," as the procesâ€" sion of Clergy entered, to be closely followed by that of the bride. _ The bridegroom with his best man, Mr. Frank Gosling, cousin of the bride, was already at the altar steps, A gardenia, the first one ever grown at Government House, was most kindâ€" ly sent by His Excellency the Govâ€" ernor to the bridegroom for a button hole and handed to him by the bridesâ€" maids. _ The procession was formed by the Crucifer, Colonel D. Mackenzie, the Rector of Paget, the Rev. G. B. Cooley, the Rev. Dr. F. Reazor and the Rev. Marriott, Canon Residentiary of the Cathedral. _ Six surplicedâ€"choristers walked imâ€" mediately in front of the bridal proâ€" cession which included a charming little flower girl, Miss Mary Ridgeâ€" way, and a page, Master Michael Arâ€" buthnot, son of Captain Arbuthnot, R.N., of H. M. Calcutta. _ The bridesmaids, who were Miss| Madeline Asser, Miss Elsie Gosling} and the Misses Betty and Prudence Appleby, carried bouquets of many‘ shaded nasturtiums, which flower was also indicated in the coloring of the dresses of a charming delicate shade of green georgette with picture hat of cream straw, a spray of orange colâ€" ored flowers on the right side. â€" They made a charming group as they came through the arch of lilies followed by the bride on her father‘s arm, in her dress of white satin made with a slight train and covered by a veil of priceless lace, which was lent by Lady Asser and has been worn by her and her mother and grandmother. It was beautifully arranged under a wreath of orange ‘blossom. _ As the bride stood at the altar surrounded by the bridesmaids ‘it would be difficult to think of a more beautiful or picâ€" turesque wedding group. The bride‘s bouquet was of white iris, rosebuds and carnations. Canon Marriott performed the marâ€" riage ceremony, the bride being given away by her father, Mr. E. H. Gosling.
