Mr. Bruce Jamieson rlayed the wedding music and ac- companied the soloist, Miss Jean MacLeod. The bride was given in marriage by her father. She wore a floor- length white crepe gown with a fitted jacket and long - sleeves. White ostrich tips made an attract- ive headdress and she held a show- er bouquet of white chrysanthe- mums into which was tucked a spray of white heather. The matron of honor was Mrs. ¥. J. McDonald, the bride's sister- in-law, who was wearing a blue crepe gown with a matching head- dress of ostrich plumes. Her flow- ers were mauve chrysanthemums. Miss Candace Doyle, the bride- groom's niece, was the flower girl. She was dreszed in pale blue taffe- ta, and carried a nosegay of sweet- heart roses. The best man was Mr. W. FP. Wil- son and the ushers were Mr. J R. Hogle, Oshawa, and Mr, F. J. Mc- Donald, the bride's brother. A reception followed at the Boulevard Club, Toronto, The guests were received by Mrs, C. W. Taylor, the bride's aunt, who wore a floor-length "dress of black lace with a small hat and a corsage of pink carnations.

The Woman's Association of St. Andrew's United Church held 'its Christmas* meeting on Thursday afternoon. A most inspiring Christmas can- dlelight service took place when Mrs. George Telford paid tribute to all pranches of the church work of St. Andrew's, and to the various lead- ers responsible for the training and influence of young people. During 115 years, St. Andrew's church has had but eight ministers, she said. Mrs. J. H. McDiarmid led in res- ponsive reading from St. Luke, chapter 2, verses 1-16, during the devotional period. . Mrs. Alfred Austin presided and it was decided to increase the usual financial assistance towards the work of the church. The Women's Association has had a successful year, with all six groups active. Reports of group activities for the year were given by Mrs. 8. J. Nob- bin, Mrs. George Henley, Mrs. Hen- meth Cobb, Mrs. Alfred Austin and Mrs. George Telford. The report of the nominating committee was read by Mrs. J. H. McDiarmid and accepted by the meeting. The officers will be in- stalled at the January meeting. Mrs. A. T. Cain sang "There's A Song in the Air" with Mrs. Rus- sell Black at the piano. > Refreshments were served by members of Mrs. George Henley's and Mrs. R. R. McLaughlin's group of the association. * +b CASTLE CHAPTER JR. GROUP The Junior Group of the Castle Chapter of the Ontario Ladies' Col- lege held its Christmas meeting at the home of Mrs. R. T. Gray, Col- borne Street East. During the business meeting plans were made to hold a fashion show at the College early in March. The remainder of the evening was spent in packing Christmas gift parcels, after which refreshments were served by the hostess. LE HAPPY DOUBLES A very successful Christmas party was held at the airport by sixty couples of the Happy Doubles Club of King Street United Church, The hall was gaily decorated in the traditional green and red, and the brightly lighted . Christmas trees made a perfect setting for the festivities of the evening. Dancing, bowling and table. ten- nis were enjoyed and prizes were given to the lucky winner. Santa arrived, and jovially distributed presents to all. Not to be outdone by Santa, Lloyd Metcalf took his turn, and presented Santa with a gift from the Club members. Lunch was served by the com- mittee in charge of the evening's entertainment, Mr. and Mrs. George Lean, Mr. and Mrs. William Edwards, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Burrows. Christinas Card Idea Only 100 Years Old The - Christmas. card originated: about 1845 and the honor of its in- vention 'is claimed for three .men, the Rev. Edward Bradley, better known as Cuthbert Bede, author of "Mr. Verdant Green"; J. OC. Horsley, R. A.; and W.C.T. Dobson, R. A. According ' to Mr. William 8S. Walsh, Cuthbert Bede had a card printed from his own design for circulation in 1845, and two years later his printers, a Newcastle firm, put a number of Chrismas cards on the market. About the same time, in 1846, J. C. Horsley designed a card for Sir Harry Cobe of Sum- mersley's Printing House, Old Bond Street. The subject was a typical scene of feasting and jollity. One thou- sand copies were printed and one of the few survivors sold a few years ago for £50. Joseph Cungdall, a London artist also issued a card in that year. It w printed in lithography, colored by' hand, and was of the usual size of a lady's card. It was not until 1862, however, that the custom of sending Christ- mas. cards obtained any real foot- hold. In that year experiments were made with cards of the size of carte-de: visite photographs, in- scribed simply with the words "A Merry Christmas" and "A Happy New Year". Later robins. in the snow and berried holly branches came to be added, and so the Christmas card of 'today was evolved. Now the varieties of cards, produced in every size and style, may be described as legion. Novel Suggestions For Your Decorations Christmas means your home at its - gracious best--fragrant with pine boughs and spicy baking, pack- ages piled high and stockings burst- ing their sides. To help you with your decorations here are a num- ber of interesting suggestions. You can kill two birds with one stone by displaying your cards on the 'Christmas tree. Put a small live tree in a red pot. Then, as the cards come in, tie them on. For front door gaiety, take a small evergreen bough, tie it with' a jum- bo red bow and then add a child's toy drum. Be sure and leave the sticks attached. It makes a novel way for your friends to announce their arrival. Give your Christmas tree a new look this year, and incidentally this is a wonderfully inexpensive way to decorate a large tree. Trim it with pine cones that you have brightened by dipping in aluminum paint or flecking with bright colors such as/pink, red, yellow. If you coat some of the cones with glue and then sprinkle with colored sparkles they will glow when the tree lights are on.
