satin, with ruu-vayed pleated panels in the front and slight trains at the back. High pleated Medici collars and very unusual short sleeves were interesting features of these gowns, They carried trailing bouquets of crimson roses, which fell to the hem of their gowns, and wore pleated tulle hats with clusters of crimson llowers at the sides. The best man was Mr J. Dove, and the groomsman Mr Erik Moen, while Messrs Ron Jeavons, Hilary Ryan, Alister Stewart, and W. Hamilton carried out the duties of ushers. During the service a solo was rendered by Mr E. Ottrey. A reception was held later for 120 guests at the Somerset Lounge of the Savoy, which was charmingly decorated with red, white, and pale pink roses to match the bridal scheme. The guests were received by Mrs Moen, whose gown was of cafe au lait lace, made over a foundation of brown satin, with a coatee to match, the cape sleeves of which were banded in deep fur. Her picture hat was of brown straw, with autumn-tinted flowers, and her bouquet of gold and bronze abutilons exactly toned in. Assisting her was Mrs Clark, the bridegroom’s mother, whose gown of deep aaxe blue lace was worn with grey squirrel furs. Her hat of blue straw toned with her gown, and she carried a bouquet of pink sweet peas. During the wedding breakfast Messrs E. Ottrey and H. K. Peppelwell rendered solos. Later a dance was held in the lounge, which was thoroughly enjoyed by the large number of guests. SALINGER—MANNING.. A very popular wedding was solemnised at the Synagogue, Moray Place, on Wednesday evening, the contracting parties being Fay, elder daughter of Mr and Mrs M. Manning, St. Clair, and Frank, eldest son of the late Mr Salinger and Mrs Salinger, of London. As it is a number of years since a wedding has taken place in the Synagogue, unusual interest was created, the ceremony being performed before a large gathering of friends. The Synagogue presented a very pleasing appearance, having bene tastefully decorated by friends of the bride. The Rev. Karwan, who has recently arrived from London, conducted the service in a very impressive manner, this being his first wedding in New Zealand. The bride made a rare picture of beauty as she entered the Synagogue on the arm of her father. Her lovely clear complexion was enhanced by her magnificent gown of mushroom satin cut on classical lines, the deep train being finished with a quilted hem. A distinctive touch was added by a beautiful pearl girdle, and her long tulle veil was held in place by a halo of white velvet violets. She carried a sheaf of arum lilies. Her sister, who was her sole attendant, looked very charming in her fitting gown of Diana perle in a beautiful shade of delphinium blue, with pearl collarette and Juliet cap, her shower bouquet being of deep pink rpses. The bridegroom was attended by Mr F. Halsted as best man. A memorable feature of the service was the singing of the Dunedin Choral Society’s Madrigal Club (of wheih the bride and bridegroom are members). Conducted by Mr Alfred Walmsley, the choir sang Wagner’s ‘ Bridal Chorus,’ and a lovely setting of the Twentythird Psalm arranged by Dr Galway. Miss Mavis MacDonald officiated at the organ. A reception was held later in the Strand Salon, where the bride’s mother received her numerous guests. She wore a model gown of beige georgette and lace, the deep cuffs of the coatee being of Russian hare, _ which toned with a smart brown evening hat. Her bouquet was of red roses. Mrs Theomin, who represented the bridegroom’s mother, wore a_ black taffeta frfick with brocaded waistcoat, and a small black hat with bird of Paradise plumes. After the breakfast, the guests, in merry mood, danced to music supplied by an excellent orchestra. Two songs beautifully rendered by Miss Angela Hendry, and three sketches delightfully presented by Miss Anita Winkel were very much appreciated by all. The bride’s travelling suit was of blue wool crepe trimmed with grey fox fur. A smart blue felt hat and grey accessories finished a very chic ensemble. The happy couple left later by car, southward bound. ELIS—CRANNITCH. The sun shone brilliantly as Kathleen Mary Crannitch entered the little Church of St. Bernadette, Forbury road, to b© married to Preston Ellis on the morning of Wednesday, December 9. The ceremony was quietly solemnised by the Rev. Father Collins. The bride, who was escorted by her step-brother, Mr W T . Crannitch, of Dunedin, was gowned in a smartlytailored ensemble of dusky pink, her pretty model hat and accessories being of nigger brown, and she chose innk roses and maiden-hair fern for her posy. Miss Gertrude Spillane, of Temuka, was a pretty bridesmaid, her dainty frock of delicate pink being enhanced by a picturesque hat of the same shade, and she carried a posy of pink sweet peas and maiden-hair fern. Mr E. M'Nab, of Geraldine, was best man. The wedding reception was held at 51 Manor Place, where Mrs Crannitch received her guests in a smart black frock and hat. Father Collins presided, and the usual toasts were honoured. Before leaving on the honeymoon, which is to comprise a tour of the North Island, Mrs Ellis donned a costume of Sudan brown and hat to tone. Both the bride and bridegroom are members of well-known South Canterbury families, and their future home will be at Orton, in that district.
