Cheltenham. Rev. C. McArthur and Miss K. Baker-Penoyre.

The wedding took place at All Saints' Church, Cheltenham, on Thursday afternoon, of the Rev. Charles McArthur, son of the late Mr. J. McArthur (of Park House, Clifton) and formerly vicar of St. Stephen's, Cheltenham, to Miss Katherine Baker-Penoyre daughter of the late Rev. Slade Baker S. Penoyre, of Edenholme, Cheltenham. Owing to the recent death of the bride's father the ceremony was a very quiet one, there being no bridesmaids and no subsequent reception of guests, the wedding party including only relations and a few old friends.

The service was conducted by the Rev. Canon Gardner (now of Birmingham, but late vicar of All Saints'), Rev. Austin Hodson (curate of All Saints'), and the Rev. S. R. Stallard-Penoyre of Stockton, Worcestershire, and brother of the bride). It was fully choral, beginning with the processional hymn “O God, our help”, including the hymn “O Light, whose beam”," and concluding with the Wedding March from "Lohengrin" by the organist (Mr. T. J. Grainge). The bride was given away by her brother (Mr. Ralph Baker-Penoyre), and Mr. V. G. McArthur attended his uncle as best man.

The guests at the wedding breakfast included Mr. Donald McArthur, Mr. and Mrs. Allan McArthur, Miss McArthur, Mr. V. G. McArthur, Mr. H. D. McArthur, Rev. Jelinger Symons, Rev. S. R. and Mrs. Stallard-Penoyre, Mr. John ff. Penoyre, Mr. Ralph Baker-Penoyre, Miss Baker-Penoyre, Miss Maud Baker-Penoyre, Miss Winifred Baker-Penoyre, Misses Molly and Joan Stallard-Penoyre, Major A. Slade Baker, R.A., Rev. William Lea, Mrs. Walter Marling and Miss Marling, Miss Pritchard, the Misses Craig, Rev. Canon and Miss Gardner, Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Tinson, Miss Whateley, the Misses Falcon, Miss de Courcy Hamilton, and Miss Shewell. The handsome two-tier wedding cake was supplied by Mr. S. B. Willett, of Hewlett Street.

Mr. and Mrs. McArthur afterwards left for a honeymoon in Italy.
