      Lois Milkins and K. W. Kaiser Wed

      A pretty June wedding was soleminized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Haz. Milkins, First Concession Mersea Township, at 3:30 Saturday afternoon, when their niece, Miss Lois Ruth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Milkins, Foundry Street, Leamington, was united in marriage to Mrs. Kenneth W. Kaiser, son of Mr. and Mrs. W.R Kaiser, of Detroit. The ceremony took place in the living room which was beautifully decorated with baskets of pink and white peonies. Rev. J.E. Griffith, pastor of Leamington United Church, read the marriage service which was a double ring ceremony, the groom's ring being a gift from the bride, whose grandmother wore it are her own wedding.

      Given in marriage by her father, the bride entered the room to the strains of the wedding march from Lohengrin, played by Miss Rose Panabaker of Harrow. Her wedding dress was a white net oever satin, with satin embroidered bodice and she wore a finger-tip veil held by a wreath of orange blossoms. The bride's only jewelry was a sunburst of pearls given to her by her grandmother and her flowers were pink roses and baby's breath. Attending as bridesmaid was Miss Eloise WILKINS of Windsor who wore pink net over satin and carried delphiniums and baby's breath. Little Miss Nancy Sova of Windsor made a pretty flower girl in her dress of pink organdie, carrying a nosegay of pink flowers. Mr. John Kaiser of Detroit, brother of the groom, was groomsman. At the close of the marriage ceremony, Miss Jenette Howie of Harrow sang "Because," during the signing of the register.

      Later a reception was held for the immediate relatives and friends and refreshments were served to the gathering by Misses Loraine Wood, Jeanette Ferguson, Phyllis Hardcastle, Janette Howie, Audrey Furough, Helen Jackson and Ruth Kaiser, classmates of the bride, who graduated with her from Grace Hospital, Windsor. They wore dotted swiss dresses and carnations in their hair. The table was tastefully decorated with a handmade lace table cloth, centered with the wedding cake and tall tapers at each end. The bride's cousin, Miss Mary Milkins, of Wyandotte, Michigan, and Mrs. A.V. Tennant of Detroit, poured tea.

      Following the reception, the happy young couple left on a honeymoon trip to Niagara Falls, Washington, D.C. and the Eastern States. For going away, Mrs. Kaiser wore a grey striped ensemble, with white accessories, the coat having a red belt and her bag trimmed in red. She wore a corsage of roses. On their return they will take up residence on VanDyke Avenue, Detroit.
