The Duke of Westminster and Miss

THE SECOND WEDDING

Shelagh Cornwallis-West were made one at St. Paul's, Knightsbride, last Saturday and despite the Royal mourning the function was a most brilliant one. With the exception of Royalty all the rank and fashion of England seemed to be present. The bride is dark and very pretty, with beautiful eyes. She likewise wore a wedding gown of the ever popular chiffon, or its rather more substantial sister—mousseliue de solo. It was beautifully embroidered in silver and seed pearls and over it fell a gorgeous pannetrain of ivory worked with sprays of roses and wreaths in silver thread. Her veil of old Brussels lace covered a crown which was composed of orange blossoms and diamond stars and was very effective.
