MILLS.—On the 5th January, 1901, at "Linlithgow," Yandoit, the wife of Thomas Mills of a son (premature).

YANDOIT.

Wednesday last was a fine day, just as it should be, considering that one of the brightest and most popular of the young ladies of this town had chosen that day as her wedding day. The young lady in question was Miss Lucy E. Sartori, the youngest daughter of Mr Chas. Sartori, and the lucky man, Mr Frederick Schroeder, youngest son of the late Mr Chas. Schroeder. Both belong to highly respected families that have been long resident in this district. There was a large attendance at the Church of England, where the ceremony was performed by the Rev Mr Begbie, of Bendigo. The bride, who was given away by her father, looked quite charming. Her dress, which was very handsome, was of cream cashmere very prettily trimmed with cream Duchesse satin, relieved with chiffon and satin ribbons. On the corsage was a nice wreath of orange blossoms. The bridal veil was also surmounted by a wreath of the same blossom. She carried a handsome spray bouquet of white flowers. Her train, which was very long, was carried by her little niece, Miss Allie Mills, daughter of Mr John Mills. This little lady was very prettily dressed in cream, and carried out her share of the performance with evident importance. The other two bridesmaids were Miss M. Sartori, sister of the bride, and Miss Annie Sartori, niece of the bride, and daughter of Mr Nazzari Sartori. They looked very charming, and were prettily dressed in cream cashmere trimmed with cream satin ribbon overlaid with lace. The bridegroom was attended by Mr Chas. Sartori, junr., and Mr N. Sartori, brothers of the bride. As the happy couple were leaving the church they were greeted with showers of rice, and on leaving in their buggy and pair, it seemed as if all the old shoes in the place had been brought into requisition. Followed by other buggies, the happy pair were driven through the town and back to the residence of the bride's parents. As it would have been impossible to have invited all the friends of the families, only relations sat down to the wedding breakfast. At 4 p.m. Mr and Mrs Schroeder left for Maryborough, en route to Ballarat, where they are to spend the honeymoon. They take with them the very best wishes of their many friends, and they are certain of a hearty welcome on their return.
