The bride was in a lovely Patou model dress of parchment ring velvet, with a coatee of gold embossed georgette, and touches of the same on tho dress. Her veil of Old Limerick lace had been worn by three generations in tho bridegroom’s family. It was a present in 1857 by the father of the late Earl Roberts to tho bridegroom’s grandmother.

Miss Cynthia Fell (Chiugford, Nelson), who was at “ Nga Tawa ” (Wellington Diocesan School for Girls) with the bride, was in attendance, wearing a dress of apricot charmeuse with coatee of a deeper shade. Tho best man, Mr T. V. Scrivener, 8.A., Oxen, was a contemporary of the bridegroom at Oriel College.
