Jones, who gave her away. She looked very dainty in a fawn coat frock and shotted silk liat with blue pansies, and carried a- shower bouquet of spring flowers, Her bridesmaid was Miss Nellie Gray, of Wanganui, cousin of the bride, who wore a dainty dress of flame-coloured velvet with black hat to match, and each carried beautiful bouquets, the gift of Mrs. Stevenson, of Wanganui, the aunt of the bride. Mr. Ghas. Jeromson acted as best man.

A nice wedding breakfast was held after the wedding ceremony at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Jones, when there was a large attendance of relations, the Rev A. C. Swainson presiding. A long toast-list was duly honoured.
