KERR—SMITH.

"The wedding was solemnised recently at St. Peter's Church, Wellington, of Beatrice Mary, only daughter of Mrs. A. Smith, Willis Street, and Kenneth Raymond, third son of Mr. an4 Mrs. W. Kerr, The Parade, Island Bay. The Ven. Archdeacon Bullock performed the ceremony and Mr. G. Short presided at the organ.

The bride wore a beautiful gown of white crepe satin cut on classical lines with long-pleated sleeves and a silver lame collar and girdle. The back panel of the skirt formed a long, graceful train which gave dignity to the bride as she was escorted down the. aisle by her brother. She carried a sheaf of white roses, freesias, and maidenhair fern. Her long embroidered veii was held in position by a halo of satin and orange blossoms. The matron of honour, Mrs. C. Quinn, wore a charming frock of green and silver matalasse with a hat of silver lame and green petals. She carried a shower bouquet of carnations, freesias, and maidenhair fern. The flower-girls, Lorraine and Yvonne Smith (nieces of the bride), wore Victorian frocks of salmon-pink corded silk with frilled godets and silver lame trimmings at their waist and silver ribbon on their hair. They carried shower bouquets of roses, chrysanthemums, and maidenhair fern.

Mr. Laurie Poison, Christchurch (cousin of the bridegroom) was best man!' and Mr. C. Kerr acted as usher.

As the bride was leaving the vestry she was presented with silver horseshoes by her. little nephew, Bertie Smith, and little Peggy Milner.

A reception was held at the Mayfair Cabaret, where the bride's mother received the guests, wearing a navy blue satin, and lace ensemble and hat to tone. She carried a bouquet of red shaded spring flowers. She' was assisted by the bridegroom's mother, who wore a brown lace frock with shell-pink georgette trimming and brown hat to match. Her bouquet was of autumn-tinted chrysanthemums.

When Mr. and Mrs. K. R. Kerr left for a tour of the north the latter was wearing a navy blue teddy-bear coat and hat (the gift of the bridegroom) and accessories to match.
