Marriage of Sir A. Conan Doyle

The Bride's Wedding Toilette.
Miss Jean Leckie, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's bride, wore a most beautiful wedding dress at her marriage on Wednesday last. Spanish lace composed it, but the lace was not unadorned, for it was covered with a truly lovely embroidery of silver and pearl, and the whole was mounted upon an under-robe of silver tissue, so that it sparkled and gleamed with every movement of its wearer.
Miss Leckie, who is a blonde, chose for her Court train, which was cut square and was worn slung from the shoulders, a froth of spangled net, Spanish lace, chiffon and pearls. Ropes of chiffon threaded through rings of pearls decorated the train at the edge.
The bridesmaids were daintily clad in ivory filet net with pale blue pleated chiffon to colour it, and trails of blue roses made of twisted chiffon. As the picture on this page shows the gowns were very charming, and reflect great credit upon their maker, Mme Duprée, of Lee, London, S.E., to whom the trousseau order was entrusted.
A gown in graduated shades of grey, beginning with an exquisite pearl shade of satin taffetas, matched by chiffon twisted into a rose and cockleshell device, and ending with velvet of a darker shade, separated from the satin by the chiffon decoration just mentioned, was by Mrs. Leckie, the mother of the bride. Pink chiffon and silver net lent additional beauty to this gown, which was worn with a grey bonnet trimmed with shaded roses, plumage and pink chiffon strings.
