Macaulav. of Pipiroa, to Mr. Philip Clark, also of Pipiroa. The Ngatea Church was decorated for the occasion with bright flowers, relieved with greenery. Above the altar was hung a large wedding bell, held in place by streamers of white ribbon. The wedding march was played by Mr. E. Cocks, of Ngatea, as the bride entered the church on the arm of her father. She was attended by her cousin, Miss Nancy Macaulay, of Waipu, and two small flower : girls, Misses Nola Winifred Macaulay, of Kaihere, and Amy Margaret Nelson, of Kopaki, nieces of the bride. The bridegroom was attended by Mr. Bruce Killip, of Dominion Road, Auckland. The bride's frock was of ivory satin beaute, trimmed with crystal beads and side draperies. She wore a long embroidered tulle veil, with a coronet of orange blossoms and diamante, held in place by a pleated satin ribbon. Her bouquet was of cream chrysanthemums, maidenhair and asparagus fern. The bridesmaid's frock was of blue georgette and silver lace. She wore a veil of blue tulle, with a spray of silver leaves. Her bouquet was of rich autumn tinted chrysanthemums and asparagus fern. The flower girls wore crepe de chine frocks and tulle mob caps. Miss Nelson wore shell pink, and carried a pink posy, and Miss Macaulay mauve, carrying a basket of flowers. After the ceremony 60 friends and relations attended the breakfast in W. and U. Montgomery's tea rooms. Mrs. Macaulay received her guests in a navy repp ensemble suit, with hat to tone. TAYLOR—GAUGHAN. All Saints' Church, Ponsonby, was the scene of a rainbow wedding recently, when Mona, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Gauglian, of Grey Lynn, was married to Jack Minto, third son of Mrs. and the late Mr. G. R. Taylor, of Ponsonby. The Rev. Dawson performed the ceremony. Entering the church on the arm of her father, the bride made a pleasing picture, gowned in a soft frock of ivory satin and georgette fashioned in Parisian style. From the tight-fitting bodice of satin fell a deeply-flared skirt of georgette, embroidered in applique silver motifs, and a clustering spray of silver flowers was fastened to the left shoulder of the gown. The silver embroidered veil, fastened to the forehead with a wreath of orange blossoms, fell in soft billowy folds, to form a train. A shower bouquet of pale pink and white blooms completed the toilet. Little Flossie Taylor and Edna Gaughan acted as train-bearers. Both wore dainty petalled frocks of rainbow cyclamen and pompadour blue taffeta. Their headdresses of tulle were ill the same shade as their posies and frocks. Two bridesmaids, Misses Rene and Ivy Taylor (sisters of the groom), followed behind, and wore gowns of pastel green and blush rose crepe de soie respectively. Both gowns were cut on Parisian lines. A spray of gossamer silver flowers, fastened to the left shoulder, hung_ diagonally across the front of the tightfitting bodice. The skirt fell in a bugle flare to form an uneven hem, with a deep inset of gossamer silver lace. Their headdresses consisted of a coronet of autumn tinted blossoms, with tulle streamers of pastel shades to tone with the bouquets. Mr. Frederick Taylor, brother of the groom, performed the duties of best man. A reception was held at the Gaiety Hall, Surrey Crescent, the bride's mother receiving her quests in a saxe blue and gold lace, with hat to tone. The bridegroom's mother wore black charmeuse, with clp.en crea.ro and diamante buckle, with a black toque to tone. Both carried a bouquet of autumn blooms.

Franklin, of Halcombe (late of Turakina) and Hugh Robert, son of Mr. R. Wishart, of Remuera, Auckland. The officiating clergyman was Archdeacon Creed Meredith. The bride entered the church on the arm of her father and looked charming in a model gown of ivory mirror velvet cut 011 simple lines. The long tight-fitting bodice was handsomely embroidered with pearls, and the skirt, —a full-flare with uneven hemline—fell to ankle length. A large 'bow of ivory satin worn on the side lent a graceful touch to the charming simplicity of the gown. The beautiful Honiton lace veil (a century old family heirloom) worn in. Juliet fashion, was caught with orange blossom and formed a graceful train. A sheaf of white cactus dahlias and flesh pink lilies completed the dainty ensemble. Miss Verne Wishart (sister of the bridegroom) and Miss Moira Keady, attended as bridesmaids, both wearing rose pink moire taffetas with transparent hems of silk net and large tulle bows. They wore large fisherman hats of pale pink felt trimmed with velvet of a deeper tone and carried Victorian posies of autumn shades.
