Maxwell—Brosnahan

Classical Satin Gown A wedding of interest to many friends in the Gisborne district was solemnised at the home of the bride s sister, Mrs. R. E. Buckland, Tokoroa, of Shcilagh, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. Brosnahan, formerly of Gisborne, and Second-Lieutenant Douglas James Maxwell, younger son of Mr. and Mrs. M. Maxwell, Devonport, Auckland. The Rev. Father McDonald officiated. The bride’s gown of oyster satin was cut on classical lines with a sweeping circular train. The lovely tulle veil was held in place by a coronet of orange blossom. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Phyllis Brosnahan, who wore a frock of moire taffeta in a lovely shade of delphininium blue and carried a sheaf of beautiful Russell lupins. The bridegroom was attended by the bride’s brother, Private B. J. Brosnahan, also a member of the New Zealand Expeditionary Forces. After the ceremony the guests, who were relatives or intimate friends of the bride and bridegroom, were entertained by the bride’s parents at a sherry party. The bride left on her honeymoon in a French grey model frock of crepe romaine with navy shoes and accessories. The future home of the happy couple will be Papakura where the bridegroom is stationed. To produce van-coloured puddings from a quick-setting junket, first arrange individual dishes in a row with a teaspoon in each. Place a few drops of colouring matter into each spoon. Then make the junket, quickly pour into all glasses, and whip each with its own spoon. You can colour them this way before the junket starts lo set. Incidentally, from several bottles of colouring liquid you can obtain extra lints: viz., a little of red and green produces purple; red, yellow and green will give russet.
