WEDDINGS

T A YLOR —NOS WORTH V. A wedding that aroused great interest in Dunedin took place on Monday afternoon at All Saints’ Church, where Sister Nosworthy was married to Mr James Taylor. The ceremony was per-

formed by the Rev. W. Hardy Johnson, with Mr Lilly playing the nuptial music. Mr Taylor acted as best man for his brother, Dr Max Pemberton was groomsman, and Dr Murray M'George ■ and Dr Murray Falconer were ushers. The bride, who was given away by Dr A. R. Falconer, was attended by Misses Doreen Barron and Kathleen Falconer) and wore a smart suit of brown ottoman cloth with a chic hat to match, her bridesmaids being in frocks of apple green blisted crepe with brown velvet encircling the waist and inset into the puffed sleeves. They wore smart little brown caps and brown accessories. The bride’s bouquet was of autumn roses, carnations, and maidenhair fern, those of the bridesmaids being of bronze chrysanthemums. After the ceremony the guests drove up to “ The Bungalow,” Ashburu Hall, the residence of Dr and .Mrs A. R. Falconer, where a delightful reception was held. The decorations, which were very attractive, were carried out in autumn leaves and dahlias, the bride and bridegroom standing under a lovely wedding hell of red berries. Mrs Falconer, attired in cherry-red crinkly crepe relieved in silver, and wearing a black hat, received in the hall, and was assisted by Mrs Pemberton in a frock and hat of black velvet relieved with white fur. There were present the Rev. and Mrs Hardy Johnson, Mr and Mrs W. Taylor, Dr Colquhouu, Dr and Mrs Thomson, Dr Bathgate, Dr and Mrs Mullin, Mr and Mrs Barron, Mr and Mrs W. Ewing, Mr and the Misses M'Hutcheson, the Rev. Brian King, and Misses Taylor, Young, Timlin, 0. Falconer, G. Falconer, Wilkin (2), Jeffery, Smith, Brown, M'Lean, Campbell. Macassey, Dodds, and Mamogue. When Mr and Mrs James Taylor left by car on their wedding tour the bride wore a long cloth coat over her suit, thus forming a smart ensemble. Their future home will be in Dunedin. BELLRINGER—BROWNE. Coreen Eviral, elder daughter of Mr and Mrs A. Ferris Browne, of Leith street, was a becoming bride on Saturday evening when, in First Church, she was married by the Rev. W. Allen Stevely, with Dr Galway at the organ, to Dr Hedlcy Bellringer, youngest son of Mr C. E. Bellringer, and the late Mrs Bellringer, of New Plymouth. Her frock of cream samite lined with gold thread, was made in Tudor fashion—-close-fitting at flic front, but falling into a train at the back—and was perfectly plain, not even being girdled. Its square neckline was quilted, but its

tight-fitting sjeevcs went from shoulder to wrist without any adornment whatsoever, Finally, a misty veil sprinkled all over with forget-me-nots—a very charming and original conceit—hung from an Alioe-in-Wonderland band of cut rock crystal at the hack of her golden head, the arrangement of the veil and comb enhancing still further the Tudor princess effect of the gown. The unusual bouquet for this lovely toilet was of cream and gold orchids surrounded by a blue haze of forget-me-nots. The bridesmaids were Misses Alma Browne and Peggy Bain. in floating, lllower-likc frocks of white Swiss muslin patterned in loaves of cornflower blue. Double frills at the armholes, niching at the hem of the lull skirts, which fell into a short train, large tight sashes of midnight blue silk velvqt forming butterfly' bows at the back, and white gloves with frilled gauntlets of muslin were additional features, the whole being completed with Alice-in-Wonderland bands of natural blue delphiniums worn towards the back of the head, and delphiniums and cornflowers arranged into loose posies. Mr Brian Scanlau, of New Plymouth, was best man, Mr John Bar-

foil was usher, and Messrs J. Dodgshun, C. Helmes, L. Satterthwaiie, and T. M'Culloch acted as ushers. A solo by Miss Noni Davidson was sung during the service. The wedding party then went to the Somerset Lounge, where golden chrysanthemums and cream accessories bore out the cream and gold colours worn by the bride. Mr and Mrs A. Ferris Browne received the guests, the latter wearing a smart gown of grey crinkly silk crepe figured in circles, with a small grey felt and velvet hat to match, her bouquet being of pale pink roses. She was assisted by Mrs N, 11. Bellringer in a frock of yellow patterned georgette, with a brown hat, and a posy of autumn loaves. The time was spent pleasantly in social intercourse, and in offering good wishes to the bride and bridegroom, who, after a short wedding tour, are to leave Wellington next Monday for England, where their future home will be. The bride travelled in brown lame pointelle, speckled with gilt, and finished at waist and neckline with a twist of the material, a hanging coat of brown ottoman cloth, with slashed sleeves finished with gold nobbly buttons, and a brown fur felt toque ornamented with gilded larch coues. DARBY—FULLER. Up a pathway' literally strewn with roses more than a hundred guests passed to attend the reception held at “ Ardenbraught,” the Point Piper home of Sir Benjamin and Lady Fuller in Sydney after the wedding of Miss Fay ‘Fuller and Mi- Joseph Berchman Darby. Small brilliant clips caught 'be cowl neckline of the bride’s gown of pure white moire. The gathered flounce of the skirt widened into a very long train, over which cascaded the ex quisitc Brussels lacc edging the cut tulle veil. A garland of orange buds held the veil in place, and lily of the valley and forget-me-nots formed into a true lovers’ knot were held in the bride’s hands, which were covered by gauntlet gloves of the same material as her frock. Father ‘'O’Regan officiated at the nuptial mass, which was solemnised at St. Mary Magdalene Church, Rose Bay. Mrs Alfred Rainbow, the bride s elder sister, was matron of honour, and Miss Heather Arnott the bridesmaid. They were gowned alike in hydrangea blue windswept satin, made with long sleeves and fish-tail trains. Vtdvet and stiffened tulle formed their hats, and they carried garlands of Cecil Bru- lor roses. _ The small train-bearer, little Patricia Fuller, niece of the bride, wore frilled
