Cheltenham Wedding. MYLIUS—MILES. A large company of friends gathered at All Saints' Church, Cheltenham, on Wednesday afternoon for the wedding of Miss Alice Isabel (Dolly) Miles to Mr. Edward Noel Mylius. The bride is the second daughter of Brig.-Gen. Philip J. Miles, C.B., C.M.G., and Mrs. Miles, of Strathdurn, Pittville Circus-road, and the bridegroom, who is in the Nigerian Administrative Service, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Mylius, of Oakleigh, Lansdown-road. The officiating clergy were the uncle of the bride, Rev. W. K. Firminger, D.D., chaplain to Hampton Court Palace, and the vicar the parish, Rev. Canon P. M. C. Johnstone.

The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a long picture dress of white satin, trimmed with true lovers' knots in diamante, with a veil of old lace form a train, and carried a sheaf of lilies. Her bridesmaids were the Misses P. and E. Miles, G. Morris, K. Spencer, and N. Young, who wore dresses of yellow chiffon, with blue hats and shoes, and bouquets of yellow roses and love-in-the-mist, tied with blue streamers. Mr. R. E. Foulger was best man.

After the ceremony, the bride's parents entertained the guests in a large marquee on the lawn of Strathdurn, and the entire catering arrangements were carried out by Georges, Ltd., who also made the handsome three-tier wedding cake.
