• * * TOTHILL—VAUGHAN.

At St. Philip’s Church, Earl’s Court, London, the marriage took place of Mr. Thomas Webb Compton Tothill, son of the late Mr. George C. Tothill, of Christchurch, and Miss Mari Janet, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Vaughan, of Christchurch. Mr. Tothill, who is on the staff of Christ’s College, has been in the Mother Country for a year (says a correspondent). The wedding was a very quiet one, only a few intimate friends being present. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. H. C. Thomas. The bride, who was given away by her mother, wore a becoming dress of white charmeuse with transparent lace coatee, and a bridal veil of embroidered tulle which held in place a wreath of orange blossom. She carried a sheaf of Harissi lilies tied with gold streamers, these matching her gold satin shoes and stockings. Miss Rona Vaughan (sister) was in attendance as bridesmaid, and wore a flounced dress of georgette in varying shades of deep apricot, and a' pearl tiarafihaped bandeau. Mr. John Sugden, of Christchurch, was best man. At the close of the ceremony the organist played Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March,” and then the guests adjourned to the Royal Palace Hotel, Kensington, where a brief reception was held. At midday the bride and bridegroom caught the boat train for the Continent on their way to Toulon, there to connect with the Orsova for Egypt. After a fortnight’s tour in that country they will continue their journey by the Orvieto, and connect at Sydney with the Ulimaroa, due in Wellington at the beginning of February.

Sale time begins almost before this queer season of ours has got into its swing, so that the search for bargains and the search for what is newest goes on side by side. Castel Jaloux Ltd., Woodward Street, began their summer sale yesterday and all sorts of wonderful bargains are offering women in search of the practical little suit for holiday or week-end suits will find exactly the thing they want in heavy crepe-de-chine or very thin woollen fabric. Loose-fitting tweed coats or silk coats, the correct garment for travelling by motor or train, are here in smart modes. Printed chiffons, georgettes and ninons suitable for garden partys and evening partys ..are in lovely colourings. French hats in felt and straw have all been reduced to half a guinea. This is a genuine bargain sale, as all stocks for this season must be cleared to make room for the new autumn and winter goods.— Advt.
