Marriage

FLOWERS from the Zinc Corporation gardens and tastefully arranged by Mrs. Darby decorated the Oxide Street Methodist Church for the marriage of Beverley, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Miller, of Chloride Street to Kenneth Edward, only son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Magor, Ryan Street, which took place on Wednesday afternoon at 3.30 p.m. The Rev. O. L. Noske officiated.

The bride, who entered the church on the arm of her father, wore a gown of heavy white crepe made with a long waist and embroidered in a half circle with white flowers and leaves, and centred with gold thread. One shoulder was pintucked, and the sleeves, which were long, were pointed over the hands. There was a graceful train. Her veil, which had been lent by a friend, Mrs. Freckleton, was of fine net, hand embroidered and topped with a coronet of pearls and flowers. She also wore a strand of pearls lent by her mother. She carried a sheaf of tuber roses and Christmas lillies.

On leaving thc church, little Wendy McFeeters placed a lucky horseshoe on the bride's arm.

Blue, pink and hyacinth taffeta was chosen by the bridesmaids. Miss Jean Miller (sister of the bride) was in blue, Miss Heather Magor (sister of the groom) in pink, and auburn haired Miss Betty Williams in hyacinth. All frocks featured long bodices by the bride, and featured long bodices coming from a heart-shaped neckline and buttoned from neck to waistline. They fell into a full skirt. The sleeves were short. Small veils were caught into position with fresh flowers. The veils were made of net matching thc color of the frocks. They each car- ried posies of pink and blue flowers from the Zinc Corporation.

The bride's brother, Mr. Arthur Miller, was best man, and Mr. Reg. Daniels groomsman.

The reception was held at the Grand Hotel,where the guests were received by the bride and groom's mothers. Mrs. Miller was wearing a beige costume, the front of which was appliqued with tan. She had tan accessories. Mrs. Magor wore a blue jacket, suit embroidered in black, with black accessories. Both wore matching shoulder sprays.

Mr. and Mrs. Magor left by Wednesday night's train for Adelaide, and will later go on to Whyalla, where they will make their home.

Mrs. Magor, who was formerly employed by the Zinc Corporation Ltd., before leaving the service was presented with a silver tea service by the members of the staff.
