MARRIAGES
CAPTAIN DORRIEN-SMITH AND MISS BOWLBY  
 
  Holy Trinity Church, Sloane-street, was yesterday the scene of the wedding of Captain Arthur A. Dorrien-Smith, D.S.O., late Rifle Brigade, eldest son of Mr. T.A. Dorrien Smith, of Tresco Abbey, Isles of Scilly, and Ashlyns, Herts, and grandson of Mrs. Smith Dorrien, of Haresfoot, Berkhamstead, Herts, and Miss Eleanor Salvin Bowlby, third daughter of the late Mr. Edward Salvin Bowlby, of Gilston Park, Herts, and Knoydart, Inverness-shire, N.B., and of Mrs. Salvin Bowlby, of Marston House, Banbury, and 56, Lowndes-square, S.W.   The service, which was fully choral, was conducted by the Rev. W.M. Smith Dorrien, Vicar of Crediton, Devon (uncle of the bridegroom), assisted by the Rev. H.T. Bowlby, of Eton College (cousin of the bride).
  The bride was married in a Princess gown of white satin, with a fold-over bodice held with pearl ornaments, and a Court train of chiffon trimmed with Brussels lace (the gift of her mother).   She was given away by her brother, Mr. Arthur Salvin Bowlby.   Her sole ornament was a two-row pearl necklace (the gift of the bridegroom's father), and a wreath of orange flowers in her hair was covered by a plain tulle veil.   There were two little pages, Master Grenfell Smith-Dorrien (cousin of the bridegroom) and Master Frank Bowlby (nephew of the bride), wearing white satin Court suits and three-cornered beaver hats.   The bridesmaids were Miss Frances Bowlby (sister of the bride), the Misses Gwen and Charlotte Dorrien-Smith (sisters of the bridegroom), Miss Mona Jeffreys, Miss Lucy Gough (cousins of the bride), and Miss Sylvia Amcotts.   They wore white marquisette over satin and tulle veils over wreaths of pink wild roses.   Each caried a bouquet of pink rambler roses, and received a green enamel cross brooch as presents from the bridegroom.   Captain Edward Dorrien-Smith, D.S.O., Shropshire Light Infantry, was his brother's best man.
  Mrs. Salvin Bowlby afterwards welcomed the guests at her residence in Lowndes-square, and later Captain and Mrs. Dorrien-Smith left for Scotland for their honeymoon, the bride going away in a pale grey travelling costume and a grey picture hat trimmed with pink sweet pea.
