WEDDING AT TURUA

OLD FAMILIES UNITED MULES—MURRAY IBRIDE IN EMBOSSED SATIN ■ A wedding which united two of the longest-established families in the Turua district, was solemnised in St‘. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Turua, on Saturday afternoon last, when Olwen Margaret, second daughter of Mr and Mrs S. S. Murray, Piako road, Turua, was married to John l Frederick, son of Mr and Mrs J. Mules, Hauraki road, Turua.

Rev. J. More was the officiating minister and Mrs E. Darby '(iPaeroa) played the wedding music. At the close of the service the choir rendered the benediction, “Cod Be With You.”

The bride who was escorted by her father wore a lovely gown of offwhite embossed satin, fashioned on princess lines, with a yolk, finely pintucked and finished, with a small rounded collar. The sleeves fully puffed at the shoulder and fitted from the elbows, formed a point over each hand. The-tulle veil lent by Mrs P. Benner, was appliqued with satin flowers and fastened to the head by a topknot of velvet roses', from which it fell in soft folds, to form a second train. The bride carried a beautiful sheaf of white rosebuds, doublecentred daisies, daphne and maidenhair fern.

The two bridesmaids, Miss Mary Murray of Auckland and Miss Dorothy Mules, were frocked alike in delphinium blue silk net over matching taffeta®. Each wore a short veil caught to the head by a topknot of flower buds and carried a contrasting bouquet, the one of pink and mauve blooms, the other of golden yellow. Mr Gilbert McGahon, of Waharoa and Mr Eric Mules carried out the duties of best man and groomsman.

A reception was held immediately after the ceremony at the Turua Public Hall, where Mrs Murray received her guests wearing a model frock of saxe crepe suede relieved with cornflower blue and a saxe felt hat with feather mount. Her posy was of blue and cyclamen flowers. Assisting her was Mrs J. Mules Snr., who wore a cedar brown costume and brown hat with floral trim. She carried a posy of autumn tinted chrysanthemums and berries.

Many telegrams were read at the breakfast and a special toast hon- • cured' to the boys overseas, including particularly, Sergeant Ron. Mules, a brother of the bridegroom. The bride travelled in a mantailored suit of striped fleet blue, with a breton felt hat and accessories to match.
