RAILTON—NEAVE.

At St John's Cathedral this morning the wedding of Mr. N. L. Railton and Miss Mary (Mollie) Neave, took place, the Rev. A. D. Stewart officiating. The bride was attired in a dress of white charmeuse, trimmed with soft white shadow lace, made in the latest Empire style, with a long train embroidered with silver thread. She carried a white bouquet of Chinese lilies. The bride's mother wore a pretty dress of French grey charmeuse trimmed with Georgette crepe and embroidered with blue. The bride was given away by her father, Mr. Thomas Neave, Superintendent Engineer of the Hongkong and Whampoa Docks, and Mr. Charles Wallace acted as the best man. The Misses Lilian and Florence Neave were the bridesmaids.
