HULL-BRAGG.
St. John's Church of England, Cairns, was the scene, of an interesting and pretty wedding at 3 p.m. on Tues- day, January 17. when Beryl (elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Bragg, of Mulgrave-street Cairns) was united in matrimony to Thomas (youngest son of the late Mr. and Mrs Wm. Hull, New Farm, Brisbane). The charming fair-haired bride entered the church on the arm of her father, to the strains of "The Voice that Breath- ed o'er Eden," delightfully rendered by Miss M. Shepherd. Her beautiful gown and softly falling train of rich parchment satin, modelled on classical lines, with dainty puffed sleeves of exquisite chantilly lace, together with a delicately hand-embroidered tulle veil (kindly lent by Mrs. J. Burns) completed a most charming picture, to which her bridesmaid, Miss Alice Remilton, and two little flower girls, added a gay colorful contrast. Miss Remilton was daintily frocked in pale blue organdi, whilst the little flower girls, Misses Betty Bragg and Shirley Cooke (sister and cousin of the bride) wore sweet and dainty little period frocks of apricot and eau-de-nil or- ganai, respectively. The duties of best man were capably carried out by Mr. G. Hull (brother of the bridegroom). During the signing of the register, "My Prayer" was very sweetly sung by Mrs. S. Wright. After the ceremony a delectable wedding repast was served at the residence of the bride's parents, Mrs. Bragg receiving her guests in a frock of floral mariette richly patterned in autumn tonings, with which she wore a smart leghorn hat. The duties of chairman were in the very capable hands of Mr. F. G. Cooke, the usual toasts being duly proposed and responded to with zest. Mr. and Mrs., Hull were the re- cipients of many valuable and sub- stantial wedding presents. The bride- groom's gift to the bride was a hand some gold wristlet watch, and to her bridegroom Mrs. Hull presented a solid gold signet ring. The brides- maid received a beautiful string of finely cut rock crystals, whilst the two little flower , maids were each de- lighted with a wee gold signet ring. Mr. and Mrs. Hull later left by the Canberra on a honeymoon tour of the Southern States. Mrs. Hull travelling in an exceedingly smart ensemble of cream crinkled Canton with hat and shoes en suite.
