WAINE — CHRISTMAS
St. James's Church was prettily decorated on Wednesday afternoon with white and pink blossoms by the girl friends of the bride for the marriage of Miss Florence Christmas, youngest daughter of Mrs. M. Christmas, of Neutral Bay, with Mr. Cecil Scott Waine, third son of Major J. C. Waine, of Rotherwood, Randwlck. The Rev. Wentworth Sheilds officiated, and the service was fully choral. The bride, who was given away by her uncle, Mr. George Fuller, had a graceful gown of white cashmere de sole. The jupe was arranged in loose pleats from the waist line, and opened over a panel of fine French lace flouncings; a high swathed ceinture held the long-sleeved cape corsage of the same soft lace. Orange blossom buds formed a cap bordering to the tulle veil, which fell in long ample folds to form a cloudlike train.
The bridal bouquet, held in a lace frame, was composed of lilies of the valley, white roses, and lilac. A diamond cluster ring was the bridegroom's souvenir. His gifts to the bridesmaids were pearl rings. They were Misses N. Mitchell and Dot Waine, the bride groom's sister. Their dainty frocks of cream net had finishings at their skirts, corsages and sleeves of narrow bands of maize taffetas, and the bunched, pointed-over jupes had similar borderings. The brims of their softly shirred net hats were banded in maize, wreathed in cowslips, and finished with ends of maize velvet. Their bouquets were of cloth of gold roses and orchids. The bride groom was attended by his brother, Dr. Jack Waine, and Mr. Charles Mitchell.
Mrs. Christmas entertained the wedding party at the Hotel Carlton. She received her guests in a handsome gown of black Georgette, veil ing white, and banded in taffetas, and a small black pedal hat encircled in high pleatings of tulle, and carried a bouquet of blush roses and carnations. Mrs. J. C. Waine had a smart costume of mole chiffon taffetas
brightened with touches of nattier blue, which also appeared in hor small paille hat, and she carried a posy of crimson roses.
When Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Scott Waine left for their honeymoon the bride was wearing a tailored suit of black and white summer tweed, and a black and white taffeta hat.
