Cut on simple lines, the bridal gown of ivory needle-run lace was mounted on taffeta. The full skirt fell into a long train and the softly draped bodice had a V neckline and short sleeves gathered up the centre. From a coronet of orange blossom and pearls fell the bride's veil of cut edge tulle, and with it was worn a smaller veil of point lace, the gift of the bridegroom's mother. Her shower bouquet was of white gladioli and begonias. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Peggy Crooks, as bridesmaid. The latter's frock of cy clamen shot taffeta was made with a very full skirt, finished at the waist with a toning sash of ribbon velvet; the high neckline had a pointed collar and the sleeves were short and full; she carried a shower of Autumn hued chrysanthemums and begonias, and wore matching flowers in her hair. Mr. W. D. Boatwright was best man. The wedding breakfast was held at the National Cafe. Mrs. Crooks wore a hip-length fur coat over her frock of Burgundy coloured lace, and her velour hat was in the same shade; she carried a small shower of mixed flowers in the same toning as her frock.
