dressed alike in white silk crepe, patterned with old-fashioned blue
sprigs, sashes and hats of pastel blue, and carried bouquets of
corresponding colour. Each wore a gold bangle, the bridegroom's gift. Mr.
Edmund Ashley acted as groomsman. The bride's mother was handsomely gowned
in green and gold shot satin, with gold trimmings, and her bouquet was of
yellow roses. The mother of the bridegroom wore black and silver silk
brocade, draped with old Spanish lace scarf. Pink carnations formed her
bouquet. The wedding breakfast was served at the country house of the

"Mr. Bailey was a member of the Fosse side
when they played that memorable match with Nottingham Forest and lost by a
record score, for them, of 12—0. The F.A. held an inquiry and decided that
it was caused through the Leicester players celebrating a team mate's
wedding the night before. They were quite naturally tired after the
festivities!"
