      HICKS - MARWICK.

      A marriage of a popular nature was solemnised at the Roman Catholic Church, York, on the 9th inst, when Lucy, youngest daughter of Mrs. William Marwick, of York, was married to Mr. Percy Hicks, formerly of the local branch of the New South Wales Bank, but now in business in Kalgoorlie. The Very Rev. Dean Walsh, V.F, officiated

      The edifice was largely attended and beautifully decorated in honor of the event. Mr. William Marwick gave his sister away, who made a pretty bride in a lovely gown of ivory morocain, designed with charming simplicity. The draped effects were finished with hand made silver roses. Her graceful train was of georgette, also daintily adorned with silver roses and a soft tulle veil was becomingly arranged
      from a chaplet of silver leaves. A sheaf of roses added beauty to a beautiful toilette.

      The bride was attended by Miss Gertrude Woodruff, who looked dainty in apricot taffeta touched with silver lace. The Early Victorian ef- fect was charmingly carried out. Her black picture hat was smartened with apricot, feathers and drapings of fine black lace. Yellow rosebuds formed her posy.

      The bridegroom was attended by his brother, Mr. Terence Hicks. During the signing of the register Mrs. Way pleasingly rendered "Beloved, it is Morn." whilst the organ was played by Mr. Tomney. At the conclusion of the ceremony a recherche wedding breakfast was served at the Castle Hotel, which was attended by a large number of friends who were received by Mrs. Marwick and Mrs. Hicks.

      The former was handsomely gowned In a richly beaded black charmeuse, softly draped with georgette. Her black picture hat was black lace and tiny French flowerettes. A white ostrich feather fan was carried. Mrs. Hicks also chose a graceful toilette of black charmant enriched with radium lace and jet. Brocaded tissue was an ef- fective touch to her stylish black hat, whilst her posy of crimson roses made a charming contrast.

      The dining room was tastefully decorated and festooned with buttercup flowers. The toast list was a lengthy one and was musically honored. The wedding cake was made by the bridegroom's mother, and was much admired. Later in the evening Mr. and Mrs. Hicks left per car en route to Albany, the bride travelling in a cinnamon georgette revealing fine pleatings and a waistline of floral leaves; her hat was en suite. Many costly presents were received. The remainder of the evening was happily spent in music and song.
