WEDDING

TAYLOU—BLAIR.

A wedding, which interested many friends, was solemnised at St. John's Presbyterian Church, Willis Street, Wellington, last evening, of Clarice Vida, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. .D. K. Blair, of "Blairmount," Karaka Bay, to Athol Bertram Taylor.

The bride's charming- gown was of magnolia satin, the yoke, long sleeves, and tunic effect being of handsomely patterned lace with outlines of tiny silver beads. The tunic fell gracefully at the back, and formed a short train which was also edged with the lace. The cap worn was of silver tissue with a short eye veil, caught at the side with orange blossom. An arm sheaf of white and palest pink roses was carried. The bridesmaids, the Misses Kathleen Lambie' (Canterbury) and Noela Cable, wore dainty frocks of cameo pink needle run lace, flared below the knees and slightly trainee!. The bodices had cape effects, and swathed belts were fastened at the back with'small bows. Their head dresses were of pink roses, and they had arm sheaves of the same flowers.

The best man was Mr. Clyde Taylor, the groomsman Mr. Bert Sage, and the ushers Messrs. Geoffrey Cable, Leo Macalister, and Rawe Hawkens.

Mrs. Blair (mother of the bride) was in oyster coloured needle-run lace, flared, and forming a short train. The neckline was finished with a wide scarf with a large diamante clasp. Her hat was of the same tone, with a cluster of hand-made flowers, and a shoulder spray of golden roses was worn.

The wedding reception was held at the' Mayfair Cabaret, where the bride's table was charmingly decorated with fine pale pink carnations and maidenhair fern, and centred with a hand-, some wedding cake, made by one friend of the family, and beautifully decorated by another. Pink roses formed part of the plan, and a silver vase with matching roses" was at the top tier.! The other tables were all decorated with pink flowers to match the general colouring of the wedding. Congratulatory speeches were made by Mr. J. Campbell and others, with replies by the bridegroom and best man. Later all adjourned to the ballroom, where a very happy time was spent in dancing, old-time and new dances being indulged in, to the special pleasure of a number of the older friends present. ,

The bride's travelling frock was a smart ensemble of navy blue with white coin spots and touches of red. The coat matched, and the hat worn was of navy straw with a white eire bow; the accessories were white also, and an ermine fur completed a charming costume. .
