FASHIONABLE BERKSHIRE WEDDING.
LIEUT. H. A. BENYON - MISS VIOLET PEEK.
LIEUT. BENYON & HIS BRIDE.
The congratulations of the whole county were extended to Lieutenant Henry A. Benyon, son of the Lord Lieutenant of Berkshire (Mr. J. Herbert Benyon) and Mrs. Benyon, of Englefield House, Reading, on the occasion of his marriage (which we briefly noted in our last issue). The ceremony, which had been arranged for to-day at Rousden, Devon, was brought forward ten days because the bridegroom's regiment, the Berks Yeomanry, was ordered abroad and took place at Holy Trinity, Sloane-square.
The bride was Miss Violet Peek, daughter of the late Sir Cuthbert Peek and of the Hon. Lady Peek, of Rousden, and she was given away by Sir Wilfrid Peek, her brother. Lieut. G. Portal, of the Berks Yeomanry, was best man.
The service, which concluded with the singing of the National Anthem, and included the hymn "For absent friends" and a prayer for the Army and Navy, was conducted by the Bishop of Glasgow (uncle of the bride), assisted by the Rev. F. E. Trelawny (brother-in-law of the bridegroom), and the Rev. C. E. Barton (rector of Rousden). The hymns 281, 551 and 578 (Ancient and Modern) were also sung. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers, white being predominant.
The bride looked charming in white and gold brocade with a Honiton lace veil. She was attended by Misses Winifrid Benyon (sister of the bridegroom), Gwendoline and Kathleen Peek (sisters of the bride), Marjorie Trelawny (niece of the bridgegroom), Irene Campbell (cousin of the bride), Mary Ganssen and Shelley. The children in attendance were the Hon. Francis Brodrick (son of Viscount Midleton), and Master David Williams, and Misses Ann and Mary Williams (Nephew and nieces of the bride).
The bridesmaids wore dresses of hyacinth blue with violet veils and owlet wreaths, and carried bouquets of carnations and violets. Each had a gold chain purse given by the bridegroom.
The congregation included many of the employees on the Englefield and Essex estates, and the wedding party consisted of Viscount and Viscountess Midleton, Sir B. and the Hon. Lady Whitehead, the Dowager Lady Clinton, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Walrond, Mr. and Mrs. Cosmo Bonsor, the Hon. Mrs. Northcote, Miss Mowbray, Sir F. and Lady Heygate, Canon and Mrs. Cameron, Miss Wroughton and Mrs. and Miss Preston.
A reception wash held at 26, Chesham Place, lent by Sir B. and the Hon. Lady Whitehead.
The honeymoon was spent at Copped Hall, Grays, Essex, the bridegroom having an extension of leave till Monday.
The bride and bridegroom had an enthusiastic reception on their arrival at Englefield on Saturday. The villagers met the carriages at the lodge gates and, the horses having been taken out, drew the couple to Englefield House to the accompaniment of a peal from the bells of the Parish Church. On reaching the mansion Lieut. Benyon thanked the assembly for their welcome and invited them to partake of tea in the house. The health of the happy pair was afterwards drunk with enthusiasm.

POPULAR PREACHER TO VISIT READING.
THE REV. F. LUKE WISEMAN, B.A.
Wesleyan Methodists of Reading are anticipating with much pleasure the visit of the Rev. Frederick Luke Wiseman, B. A., on Sunday, when the 43rd anniversary of the church in Queen's-road will be celebrated. Mr. Wiseman is the son of the late Rev. Luke H. Wiseman, M.A., who was president of the Wesleyan Conference in 1872 and one of the preachers at the opening of the Wesley Church, Reading, in 1873, and also of Mrs. Wiseman, founder of the Zenana and women's medical work connected with the Wesleyan Church. He is one of the most able ministers of the day and for 26 years was Principal of the Central Hall, Birmingham, president of the Wesleyan Conference in 1912, and president of the National Free Church Federation in 1914. At present he is the secretary of the Wesleyan Home Missionary Society, succeeding the late Dr. Pope in that office. In addition to being a popular preacher and lecturer he is an accomplished musician, and some of his compositions will be used at the services.
"Business affairs must undoubtedly have attention, but their importance is at present absolutely secondary to military requirements." - Mr. R. Noton Barclay, President Manchester Chamber of Commerce.
R. E. (Signal) Co., Reading.
CAPTAIN L. R. PEARSON.
No man in the county has done more for recruiting than has Captain Pearson, and his appointment to the Command of the R. E. (Signal) Company, Reading, gave the greatest satisfaction. Though a strict disciplinarian, he is most considerate to his men and extremely popular.
COY.-SERGT.-MAJOR FLUDDER.
Another officer who is certainly the right man in the right place is Coy.-Sergt.-Major Fludder. He has had a long experience as signalling instructor and is very thorough in all he undertakes. Abounding in good nature, he always gets the best out of his men.

AIRMAN'S WEDDING.
Mr. T. V. Jerrard - Miss Gertrude E. Rose.
One of the first British airmen to fly to France on the outbreak of war, Mr. Temple Vaughan Jerrard, was married at St. Mary's Church, Reading, on March 9th, to Miss Gertrude Edith Rose. Khaki is a fashionable feature of present-day weddings, but a bridegroom in the neat, serviceable uniform of the Royal Flying Corps is not so familiar. May the couple here photographed have a long and happy voyage on the wings of matrimony.
