      At the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. George Hinkle. in Broderick street, the marriage of Miss Bertha Graham Cummings of Nova Scotia and William Pierre Caubu of this city was celebrated yesterday afternoon. The service was read before an improvised altar of ferns and flowers erected in thedrawing room. The rest of the house, with the exception of the dining room, where the decorations were of lilies of the valley and love roses, was adorned with branches of Lady Banksia and red roses intermingled with woodwardlas and maiden hair.

      The bride was charming in a creation of Ivory satin, the bodice of which was fashioned with chiffon. The entire dress was draped in handsome rose point lace. A tulle veil fastened with orange blossoms and a shower bouquet of roses completed her costume. Miss Irene Caubu was the bridesmaid. She wore a grown of pink brocade embellished with lace and carried a shower of bridesmaid roses. Robert Hinkle, the ring bearer, carried the gold circlet on a white satin cushion. Milton Sutton was the best man. After the ceremony
      a dainty luncheon was served. The bride came to this city a year ago from Nova Scotia on a visit to her sisters, Mrs. Fred Morcom and Mrs. George Hinkle. It was here that she met Caubu, and their engagement was announced shortly after. Mrs. Caubu is a singer of recognized merit. Her husband is well known as an attorney and he is also grand trustee of the Native Sons of the Golden West.
