Social Events
St. Stephen's Church was yesterday morning the scene of a fashionable wedding, the contracting parties
being Miss Ethel O., youngest daughter of the late Thomas Cumines of Welland,
and Mr. Gordon A. Brown, eldest son of the late P. J. Brown of
Toronto. Rev. A. J. Broughall officiated. Previous to the opening of the
ceremony, Miss Stella Sintzel of Hamilton rendered several appropriate vocal
selections. Promptly at 11 o'clock the bride, looking very pretty and carrying a bouquet
of bridal roses, entered on the arm of her brother-in-law, Mr. C. P. Godden. Her dress
of tucked white chiffon with overdress of peau de sole silk, trimmed with real lace and with veil
and orange blossoms, was decidedly smart. Miss Margaret Rosseaux Brown, the pretty little
sister of the groom, made a charming maid of honor in white tucked organdie, pink sash, white picture
hat and carrying a magnificent bouquet of pink roses. As bridesmaid, Miss Florence Macglashlan,
cousin of the bride, made a pretty picture, attired in white silk, blue sash and hat of white chiffon.
She carried a bouquet of red roses. Mr. Allan Ellis was best man,
and Dr. T. J. Clarke, Mr. W. A. H. Findlay, Mr. Victor A. Hall and Mr. Elgin Myers performed
the duties of ushers. The conclusion of the ceremony was marked by the stirring strains of Mendelssohn's
wedding march played by Mr. G. H. P. Darby, after which guests retired to 425 Euclid avenue, the
residence of the bride's sister-in-law, Mrs. C. P. Godden. The house decorations were in green.
A pleasant hour was spent in congratulations to the young couple and in viewing the many beautiful
presents, when Mr. and Mrs. Brown departed on the 1 o'clock train for an extended trip through
the northern lakes. Among the invited guests were Mr. and Mrs. R. Y. Ellis, Mr. and
