Mrs. Horace Darwin), and two children—Miss Heather Pinsent and Miss Mary Parker (cousin of bride); the page was Master Hubert Parker (youngest brother of bride). The three grown-up maids’ gowns were of soft cream satin with plain long skirts, and bodices draped over soft net under bodices, and large black picture hats lined with blue. They carried bouquets of pink carnations. The two little girls wore cream satin “Jane Austen” frocks in full bag skirts to the feet, high-waisted low-necked bodices, and blue sashes, and forget-me-not wreaths in their hair.
