WEDDING BELLS
LEEDS - LEFROY.
A largely attended wedding was celebrated in St. George's Church, Carnarvon, on Tuesday, 22nd inst, the happy couple being Miss Rosa Elizabeth Lefroy, eldest daughter of Mr. W. G. Lefroy, of Towera and Yanyeareddy stations, and Mr. Harry Patterson Leeds , second son of Mr. A. G. Leeds, of Fremantle.
The church was tastefully decorated by the girl friends of the bride. The ceremonv was performed by the Rev. W. Sharp, the church choir rendering appropriate music. Miss Daisy Foss presided at the organ. The choir sang "The Voice that breathed O'er Eden" as the bridal party proceeded up the aisle to the altar.
The bride, who was given away bv her father, looked extremely sweet and dainty in a dress of whits erepe-de Chine over eharmeuse satin with trim mings of orange blossom and lace, the veil being of Maltese lace, with wreath of orange blossom. She wore the family diamonds.
The bride was attended by four bridesmaids, Misses Lucile and Ethel Lefroy, sisters, Miss Leeds, sister of the bridegroom, and Miss Bessie Lefroy, cousin of the bride, each of whom wore a dress of mar quisite over silk trimmed with piar quisite lace, and a dainty Juliet cap. They carried prayer books, the gifts of the bridegroom. Mr. Frank Leeds acted as best man, Mr. Colin Craig being groomsman.
After the ceremony a reception was held at the Gascoyne Hotel, and a large number of guests were present at the wedding breakfast in the commodious dining room. The tables were laid with dainty refreshments, and were taste fully decorated with a wealth of pink and white flowers.
The Rev. W. Sharp in felicitous terms proposed the health of the bride and bridegroom, and in the course of his remarks stated that though the drought had effected the district badly in some respects, it might be said to have its good points as well as its bad ones, as only for this drought probably they should not have had the wedding they were attending that day celebrated in Carnarvon, since it was the drought that brought Mr. Lefroy and his family to reside in the district.
Mr. Leeds suitably responded on behalf of himself and his wife, and also proposed the health of the brides maids, to which Mr. F. Leeds responded. Mr. Whitlock, in a few happy words, proposed the health of the father and mother of the bride. . Mr. Lefroy suitably responded, and proposed the health of the officiating clergyman (Kev. Mr. Sharp) and his wife.
Mr. Sharp, in responding, paid a tribute to the many good qualities of the pastoralists in the district, and said he regretted that he had not been able to get about among them as much as he would have liked. Now, however, as they were all going in for motor cars, he hoped he would have more opportunities of visiting the outlying portions o£ his parish in the future.
The happy couple left by motor, the bride's travelling dress being a gray tweed tailor made costume with hat of saxe blue trimmed with roses.
