Banbury, son of Mr. and ,Mrs. E. A, Ban'bur'y, of Wol- seley, Saskatchewan. The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, entered the church to the strains of the wedding march from 'Lohengrin, played by the organist, Charles How- ey. She was lovely in her gown of deep eggshell satin, fashioned on long princess lines. The only trimmings,. seed pearls and iridescent beads, which. had adorned the wedd4ng ,gown df the bride's' mother. Her train was outlined with iridescent trimming and her bridal veil, bluish white tulle, was caught to her head with orange blos- soms. She carried 'a bouquet of But- terfly ,roses and lily of the valley. ' The Lelong gowns of her three at- tendants were of chiffon, fashioned alike,. with fitted .bodices and long, shirred skirts. They wore Victorian jackets of taffeta, moire pumps and wide picture hats of French rustic straw, banded with velvet in =Ach- ing shades.'

Rivers, from the Continent, and Edinburgh and the following is another letter received by Mrs. Albert Rivers, of Seaforth, this week. Mr. and 'Rivers will sail for home on July 11th. 82 Marchioont:Crescent, Edinburgh, May 24, 1931. Dear Folks,- UJe have had some mice week -end trips this spring. Mr. Pitcairn has a motor -cycle and a side -car, so that the three of us went to Ayr and Allo- way liy way of Glasgow, Paisley, and back again- 175 miles. The west coast around Ayr is beautiful, and the two mile ride to Alloway is lovely, with the trees meeting overhead. Here we visited ,Burns' cottage, still furn- ished with their things, and in the beautiful gardens is a museum con- taining all his manuscripts, pictures, busts, his father's Bible, ,manly of their possessions, and all kinds of souvenirs. From there . we drove down the road 'for a little, to see the Auld Kirk, the large monument, and the Auld Brig o' 'Donn,, old curved, and made of stones. Standing on it and looking up the Doon we could see up the stream under two arched bridges, Along the bank and around the m'onu'ment were green lawns, beds of flowers of all kinds, and shap- ed and trimmed trees of all heights. The trees were of every shade of green. No wonder that Burns wrote poetry in that country. Last week -end Miss Borland of Moray House took four of us with her in her can for a 500 mile trip, starting Saturday morning. We went by Stirling, Callander, through the lake district among the Highlands west to. Oban on the coast. From there we could see out in the sea to the isle of Mull. That night we spent in a hotel in the mountains, by a lake. Next. day we came east through mare high- lands, with their horned sheep and long-haired cattle, and past more lochs. Lich Tay was the longest and most beautiful, with the lovely reflec- tions in the .water. The roads were perfect, but winding and twisting. Such wonderful scenery we had never seen anywhere. A glen called Glen Lyon, 30 miles Tong, had thea road winding above a stream, with moun- tains full of waterfalls on either side all the way. Here had been Druids, Jesuits, and Highland battles of the clans. At Killiecrankie we saw the Soldiers Leap, a wide jump over the river taken by a soldier- after the battle there. Sunday night we had tea at an old white inn in a valley called Spittal Inn. Movie folk from England were there filming a new picture. called The ,Bells. In Feb- ruary, they took some scenes there in eight feet of snow. From there we went on north up steep roads. One with sharp turns in it as it goes up 2.000 feet is called the Devil's Elbow. From the top we looked out across tivou'ntaitts that were snow-capped for i e were in a colder art. We reach- ed p ed Braemar that night, railed the royal town. Here we saw the Prin- cess Royal Park (she was buried there at Mar lodge this week) where the ,Highland games take place each year, attended by the King and Queen. In the morning we took the lovely drive down the Dee river past four castles, in lovely settings bly the river, among the huge mountains cov- ered with pine, spruce, and caps of snow. First 13raemar castle, farther on Invercauld, then the "white tolwers of Balmoral where the King lives each fall and then to Abergeldy, the castle of the Princes, now sometimes' used by the Prince of Wales. We went. into Crathie church where they at- tend service. Their pew is reached by a private entrance and is covered in purple. A bust of Queen Victoria is over a stone laid by her when it was built. Across from the royal pew are the pews roped off for the clans. The scenery around there is more beautiful even than the lake district. "Scotland for scenery." Our American friends' are leaving in two weeks. This week they went to the Trossachs, a trip of 200 mi'le's altogether. And they went to Ayr another clay.' We Naive the Scott country trip •yet, to the Abbeys, and to his home at Abbotsford, all south nt us. Friends ask us every week to sup- per- or tea, and so many ask us to play at their private golf -courses. On Friday we went with two 1'adies to Libert'on course. It was once a beau- tifulwinding estate. We rode , in a w g road through trees to a stately house, now the club -house. The course runs between groups of trees, down pretty slopes, over stream's, and back to the club -house ---an enjoyable walk even without the game. 'Next week we are to play with some folks at a course called .Dalmahby, add on the Braids with two others, the public one we like so much, with its vielw of the city. There are dozens of courses here, all crowded. This has been assembly week in Edinburgh. It opened on Tuesday with a gre'at procession, lead by the Lord High Commissioner, who re- presents the King. He is Mr. Brown, M,P., for Ayrshire, and who with his wife, lives in a two room old cottage there: { For the Assembly of the 7 s 311 NEW CHINA 1 at Spocial, Low Prices Wehave been fortunate in securing a few special China Sets at prices thatare very much reduced.
