Ranns was the officiating minister. Miss Ann Mackie, sister of the bride, was bridesmaid, and Mr. J. C. Chalmers, of Macdonalds Consolidated, attended the groom. The bride was becomingly attired in the new and fashionable shade of Marina Blue crepe, with hat and shoes of silver cloth. For traveling, she had a dress of brown crepe.
