        MARRIAGE AT CHINNOR.
        MR. W. R. EGGLETON & MISS A. H. BRAZELL.
        A wedding of local interest took place in the Congregational Church, Chinnor, on Wednesday after- noon, Sept. 16th, which was crowded. The bridegroom was Mr. William Robert Eggleton, second son of Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Eggleton, of Hill Farm, and the bride Miss Adeline Harvey Brazell, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Joseph Brazell. Both families are well-known in Chinnor and throughout the district, and the respect and esteem in which they are held was manifest in the great interest which was shown by the whole village in the event. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. W. Wilson Hitchins (pastor), who was assisted by the Rev. F. Hainsworth, M.A., of Scarborough, a personal friend of the bride's family. The service opened with a hymn, specially written for the occasion by the bride's father, "Sun-brimming hath the summer been," the other hymn being "O perfect love." Mr. W. Cocks presided at the organ, and at the conclusion of the service played Loben- grin's Bridal March. The bride, who was given away by her father, was charmingly attired in a dress of shell pink Charmeuse satin, trimmed with lace and ninon, draped with fish-tail train; she also wore a tulle veil and wreath of orange blossoms and carried a sheaf of roses. The brides- maids were Miss Olive Eggleton and Miss Marjorie Clarke (nieces of the bridegroom) and Miss Lilian Brazell. Their dresses were of white embroidered muslin with sachets of shell pink silk; leghorn hats trimmed with pink roses and turquoise velvet ribbon. Miss Brazell wore a gold pendant, and the other bridesmaids gold brooches with aqua- marines. The bride's mother was attired in a Nattier blue costume with black tulle hat and feathers, and carried a bouquet of red roses. Mrs. E. W. Clarke's dress consisted of blue silk crepon, trimmed with old rose glace and cream ninon; leghorn hat trimmed with roses. Mr. Frank Eggleton acted as best man.
        At the conclusion of the service an adjournment was made to Hill Farm, where a reception was held on the lawn in. a large marquee. The bridal party and guests were then photographed by Mr. Sweetman, of High Wycombe, and afterwards tea was partaken of. The health of the newly-married couple was then proposed by Mr. W. Hardy, who, in the course of an appropriate speech, said he thought they might all congratulate themselves on the fact that they could really call that a happy occasion; it was an auspicious occasion in every sense of the word. Those who had known the bride from early years could speak as to her worth and character. They had every reason to believe her heart was set right, and her life the best and noblest a young lady could live. They were equally happy on the other side, as the bridegroom they had loved and respected for many years. They knew him to be a man of sterling worth and of real good manly character. They all wished Mr. and Mrs. Eggleton a long life of real happiness, and he would propose their healths The toast was heartily drunk, and after a few words from Mr. T. Eggleton, the best man suitably responded for the bridegroom. Later in the afternoon the bride and bridegroom left by motor, amidst showers of confetti and good wishes, for Risborough, en route to Folkestone, where the honeymoon is being spent. The bride's travelling costume was of navy blue, and she also wore a white velour hat. The presents were numerous.
