The bride was attended by Miss Patricia Steele, wearing a dusky pink frock accented with a shoulder spray of flowers to tone, and a small dusky pink hat. Second Lieutenant P. R. Willock, brother of the bridegroom, was best man. After the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride’s grand-parents Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Miles, Hobson street.

Puha Farewell Party Rain intervened on Thursday morning when Miss Josephine Scott had arranged a tennis party at “Lome,” Puha, in honour of Miss Buiiny Dowding, “Rangatira,” who is leaving to commence training at the Stewart Karitane Hospital, Wanganui. Last-minute alterations were mftde by the hostess to entertain her guests at bridge and mah-jong, and all spent a jolly time indoors. The drawingroom looked attractive with its decorations of bowls of mixed flowers and hydrangeas, which were an effective background for the bridge tables. When an adjournment was made to the "dining-room, which was gay with bowls of yellow and gold flowers, opportunity was taken to tender good wishes to the guest of honour. A dainty tea was served. Mrs. R. Scott, who welcomed her daughter’s guests, wore a becoming frock of navy crepe-de-chipe printed in rose tones. Miss Josephine Scott chose a silk jerseylaine model striped horizontally in green and gold. Miss Bunny Dowding’s frock was in a pretty shade of blue accented with white collar and cuffs. Among the guests were Mesdames C. C. Dowding, W. Robson, C. G. Holdsworth, G. R. Bloomfield, J. G. Appleton, E. Cranswick, R. F. Hutchinson, B. R. Fitzgerald and R. D. Dymock; Misses V.
