WEDDING

HOLLIS—KAY. A wedding of general interest to the golfing world was celebrated at St. John's Presbyterian Church, Hawera, on the eve of December 29 by the Rev. A. G. Irvine, when Margaret Oliver, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Kay, Princes Street, Hawera, was married to George William Henry, only son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. -'Hollis, Okaiawa, states the Hawera "Star." The bride's friends decorated the church with hydrangeas ' and delphiniums and Mr. J. L. Rowe presided at the organ for the service. Public i interest in the wedding was heightened by reason of the bride's achievements in championship golf in New Zealand and Australia and with the New Zealand women's team on tour in Great Britain. In an unusual period frock of parchment Chantilly lace over satin, the bride entered the church with her father. From the Medici collar a row of small satin-covered buttons enhanced the front of the snugly-fitting bodice and the - skirt, which was cut on slender lines and finished with a

- deep flare of tulle, revealing satin slippers of the same parchment shade; 5 the wrist length leg-o'-mutton sleeves j were also edged with a flare of tulle. ' From a three-peaked halo and fitting cappeline of lace, arranged with a , half circlet of lily-of-the-valley, flowed s her veil of silk embroidered tulle in ' filmy folds to form a train. Over her arm she carried a sheaf of miniature 1 arum lilies mingled with fern. On " leaving the church the bride received ■ a silver flower-covered horseshoe from 1 Mrs. E. McLean. The maid in attendance, Miss Jean - McLean, was frocked in ice blue Brus--1 sels lace. The gracefully fitting skirt I was slipper-length and a swathed velvet sash of cherry red silk velvet made j a charming contrast. The full puffed ( sleeves met a pleated shoulder line and the square decollete was caught at the t back with a diamante clasp. A fitting cap of cherry velvet flowers held in place with a ribbon bandeau was worn at a smart angle. The same 1 bright splash of cherry was introduced ' in the satin shoes and a sheaf of 1 shaded gladioli roses and fern completed an attractive toilette. Mr. D. Johnston, of Okaiawa, was ■ the best man. Wearing an American redingote eni semble of black crepe de chine with a brightly coloured front panel and vest of green, cream, and scarlet patterned crepe de chine trimmed with pleating, Mrs. Kay received the guests at the Rewa Lounge. Mrs. Kay's black tagel straw hat was finished with a bright cluster of flowers and on the lapel of her coat she wore a spray of scarlet polyanthus roses and fern. Mrs. Hollis wore a frock of woodland brown lace and georgette, with which she wore a matching brown straw hat and an autumn-tinted shoulder spray. Crystal vases of blue delphiniums and sweet peas made attractive floral decorations and to honour the toasts the members of the bridal party used replicas of the Mellsop Cup which the bride had won for nine years in succession. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Hollis later left by car for the south, the bride wearing a navy blue tailored suit with a fine pin stripe and a white smocked Russian blouse. Her hat was of navy blue Baku straw and she wore a fur stole and navy accessories.. Mr. and Mrs. Hollis will live at Okaiawa.
