Weddings at Paris

St. James’ Church was the scene of a pretty military wedding Monday morning when Miss Mabel Barfield and Pte. Harry Johnson of the Dufferin Rifles overseas contingent were united in the bonds of holy matrimony by the rector of the church, Rev. J.R. Seton-Adamson.  The bride who was given away by Mr. F.P. Blackhurst, looked very pretty in a tailored suit of blue, with large black velvet hat with white plume.  She was attended by Miss Lily Russell, who wore a tailored suit of navy blue, with large black hat.  Pte. Nuttall of the 76th Battalion supported the groom.  The members of the Paris squad of the 38th overseas contingent acted as a guard of honor.  The happy young couple, who are very popular, both being active in the work of the church, received many handsome and useful gifts, the groom’s gift to his bride being a handsome gold triangle.  Pte. And Mrs. Johnson left on a short honeymoon, after which the bride will reside in Paris until her husband returns from the front.
