Wedding At Fourstones. -------*---------- Mr P. D. Holt and Miss P. A. Palmer. --------*---------- LIST OF PRESENTS, A pretty wedding, which attracted a considerable amount of interest, throughouy the,county Of North umberland, was solemnised yesterday at St. Peter's Church,In the picturesque South Tyne, village of Fourstones. The contracting parties were Mr Phillip During Holt, third son of Mr Richard Holt, of Ullet Road, Sefton Park, Liverpool, and brother of the member Of Parliament for the Hexham Division; and Miss Phylis Adela Palmer, eldest daughter of Mr, and Mrs. A. M. Palmer of Newbrough Lodge, Fourstones, and gandaughter of the late Sir Charles Mark Palmer, who for so many years represented Jarrow in Parliament. For this time of the year, excepionally fine weather favoured the happy event. After a deluge of ra overnight, the sun burst early through the ominous clouds that obscured the horizon, and before midday the sky was an expansive streatch of ethereal blue Throughout the day, in fact, the sun shone, not with much power, it is true, for the atmosphere was dis tinctly "nippy," but with conspicuos brightness and geniality, and, bathed as it was in this flood of light, the coutryside, which hereabouts is noteworthy for nothing so much at this season of the year as its gloriously resepledent autumn tints, the whole scene in its panorama of beauty and brightness, prsented as admirable and incomparable setting to the day's happy ceremony. It a not a large place, Fourstones, and anything in the way of a big display of rejoycing though the customary medium of bunting, was neither attempted nor desired. When Nature provided so luxuriant a scene, anything artificial would have been sadly in congruous, and would have spoiled the picture undoubtedly. An inofensively artistic flag harmlessly obtruded itself upon the landscape here and there but that was all. The villagers were content to show their rejoicing and good wishes by beaming faces and lusty cheering. Than Miss Palmer no bride could have had "good Luck" more sincerely and felicitously expressed. The church was crowded, and the service was fully choral, The organist Mr Butland, played Lefebure Wely's Andante as the voluntary and the opening hymn was "Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost" the Psalmn was "Blessed are they that fear the Lord," after which followed the hymns "0 Perfect Love, and "Lead me, Lord, lead me" The bride who was given away by her father, was attired in a white satin gown, embroidered with pearls her chief ornament consisted of large and hansome pendant formed of diamonds and topaz which belonged to Mr Holt`s mother. She carried a bouquet Madona lillies, She was attended by six bridesmaids, Miss Evaline Palmer.
