SUMMER COOKING. ELECTRIC RANGE DELIGHTFUL. Try Electric Cooking in your kitchen this summer. Cold dishes are often favoured in the hot weather more to reduce kitchen hardship thau as a matter of preference. Hot dishes can be prepared electrically without'the smallest discomfort. Electric cookery saves meat, improves food value*, and enables the household to enjoy dishes which would not be risked for the oldfashioned methods needing skill and continuous attention. Family cookery by electricity soon pays for the initial cost in the savings effected, the running expense being only about Is per week, per head. Demonstrations of cooking by electricity are given at the Municipal Electricity Department's Showrooms, corner Manchester aud Armagh streets, from 10 a.m. till noon on Wednesdays, and 2 p.m. till 4 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays. All are cordially invited to attend. —1

DIAMOND WEDDING. DUNN—ROBERTSON. TJie diamond wedding of Mr and Mrs Frederick Murray Dunn was fittingly celebrated yesterday, at the residence of their daughter, Mrs Frank Cooper, 506 Hereford street, and was attended by their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and many friends • and relatives.

Mrs Cooper's home was gay and fragrant with a profusion of choice flowers, sent to Mrs Dunn by her many friends. A beautiful bouquet of mauve and pink sweet peas and gypsophila was presented to her by her grand-daughter, Mrs H. D. Mcßeatji; the hall was decorated with glorious crimson and gold roses, and the tea-table was bright with beautifully arranged sweet peas. The afternoon reception, at which Mrs Frank Cooper was hostess, was confined to relatives" and intimate friends of the bride and bridegroom. Those present were: Mrs Cooper (eldest daughter), Mr F. J. Dunn (eldest son) and Mrs Dunn (Timaru), Mr A. C. Dunn (son) (Napier), Miss L. Dunn (daughter), Mr F. G. Dunn (grandson) and Mrs Dunn, Mrs J. M. Dunn (grandson's wife) (Timaru), Mrs H. D. McBeatb (grand-daughter) (Nelson), Miss Lina Cooper (grand-daughter), three «reat grandsons, two great grand-daugh-ters, Mrs Annand, Mrs Dunn's sister, who'was her bridesmaid sixty years ago. Miss G Venables.the Rev. and Mrs H. Nelson'"Wright, Mr and Mrs J. C. Graham, Mr Edward Mann, Mrs L. HcBeatli, Miss J. Monsen, Mrs Hunter, Mrs L. Hargreaves. | The only member of Mr and Mrs | Dunn's family, who .was not present, was one son, Mr James Dunn, of Melbourne. . In the evening, a very large number , of friends of varying ages were entertained by Mrs Cooper, and a very pleasant time was spent in games and danc- , M The marriage of Mr Frederick Mur- j viv Dunn and Miss Agnes Bobertson j was solemnised at the residence of the bride's father, Hereford street east, on January 17th, 1867, by the Rev Charles Fraser, of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. The bride was the second , daughter of Mr James Robertson, wellknown as the proprietor of carriage works in Tuam street west, whose eldest daughter married Mr Andrew Duncan, well-known in the early days as a. nurseryman and seedsman. The bridegroom was the eldest son of MrJames Dunn a native of Scoine, S' Perth, Scotland. He was! bom in England, but Ins parents removed to Perth, and lie received his education at "the Perth Academy. When nineteen years, or p.*e, he decided to seek his fortune m New Zealand and arrived in Lytteltou b v the ship Mermaid, early m 1864. By the same vessel the Robestson family were passengers, and as they camo* from the same part of Scotland, they and Mr Dunn naturally forerrathered. Mr Dunn's" idea was to go on the land, and as harvest was in full swing when he landed ho had _no difficulty in getting work. ■ Heaving sheaves almost as heavy as himselr, however, proved too hard a job for one who had not been accustomed to heavy manual work. Mr Dunn had served five vears at the printing trade at Home, and he decided to see ifthere were any openings ou any of the Christchurch newspapers. After applying at two other newspaper offices, Mr Dunn applied at The Pees? office and was told he could come on at once, and about the beginning of March I)e started work and remained with The-Pkess' for teu years. With Mrs Dunn, he went to Wellington in 1874 and got cm - plovment on "The Independent, , which soon after came out as the ''New Zealand Times." In 1881 ,Mr and Mrs Dunn returned to Christchurch and Mr Dunn' resumed work with The Pnws, and continued with it till his retirement towards the end of last year." He was in the composing room till the linotype .machines came, then he worked in the jobbing room till 1914, and for the remainder of his service he was in the readingroom 'of the jobbing department. Mr and Mrs Dunn had a family of sevenfive sons (two dead) and two daughters. Their eldest son is Mr Frederick James Dunn, jeweller, of Timaru, who has two sons—the elder saw active service on Gallipoli and is now a'member of the firm of Best and Dunn, account-, ants, Christchurch; the younger was keen to go to the front, but was too young. Their second surviving son is a jeweller in. Melbourne, and is married, but has no family; and their, third surviving son, Mr! Alan C. Dunn, is an accountant in Napier and has two daughters. Their elder daughter is Mrs Frank Cooper, and lias two daughters, the elder being married and hag twin sons and , a daughter; their younger daughter is unmarried. Mr aud Mrs Dunn have six grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. ,
