      WEDDING BELLS
      ROBINS-KEEPING

      The Bapist Church, Albany, was the scene of a very pretty wedding on Wednesday afternoon, September 26 The Church had been beautilfully decorated by the members of the Christian Endeavor.

      The contracting parties were Miss Betty Keeping, elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Keeping, of Claremont, and Mr. John Robins, only son of Mr. and Mrs. G. Robins of Albany.

      The ceremony was performed by the Rev. F. Shiner and Miss I. Furby presided at the organ. The bride, who was given away by Mr. C. Stokes in the absence of her father, looked very sweet in her simple frock of cream sand crepe. The veil( kindly loaned by Mrs. E. Robins) was set well back off the fore head and held in place by a wreath of orange blossom, falling to form a train at the back. A sheath of white arum lilies and fern completed a very charming toilette.

      The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Joan Keeping as brides maid. She wore a frock of wedge wood blue perle de chine with white lace picture hat, and carried a bouquet of blue ageratum and fern.

      Little Miss Nan Martin and Master Ted Stokes acted as train bearers, the former looking very lovely in a long frock of pink rosebud voile and carrying a posy of pink flowers to match. Master Ted Stokes looked very manly in his suit of Assam silk.

      Mr. Walter Ferrell was best man. As the bridal procession left the Church the Boy Scouts, of whom the bridegroom is a Scoutmaster, formed a guard of honor.

      The reception was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. Stokes, Perth Road, where a very pleasant time was spent. Many lovely wedding presents were on view, including one from the A.G.A. and one from the Boy Scouts. Later in the evening the pride and bridegroom left by car for their honeymoon.

      On the Friday evening preceding the wedding a very pleasant social evening was spent in the Oddfellows Hall, when the members of the Baptist Church tendered the couple a kitchen tea and made them the recipients of a collection of useful kitchen articles.

      Items were given by various members of the Christian Endeavour and a dainty supper was served.
