CHRYSTALL —SIMPSON.

A wedding- of much interest was solemnised on March 9, at St. David’s Presbyterian Church, Palmerston North, the contracting parries being Miss Patricia Simpson. only daughter of Mr and Mrs A. Tv. Simpson, of Rangitikei Line, and Mr .John Bruce Chrystall. of Kairanga. second son son of Air and Mrs J. Chrystall, of Foxton. Rev. R. Warnock officiated, and Airs Murry presided at the organ. The bride, looking very pretly. entered the church on the arm o,f her father, gowned in a magnolia satin frock, made on close-fitting lines, with panels of inset Brussels lace and appliqucd silk net flowers. This trimming was also carried out below the waist-line at tile back, which was finished with tiny satin buttons. A lacc and net Peter Pan collar gave a nice finish to the neck. A fully flared train of satin came to a point and featured the motifs of the frock, together with a short tulle veil, worn ever the face and finished with a coronet- of orange blossoms. She carried a semishower bouquet of white daisies, white rosebuds, asters and maidenhair fern to complete a charming ensemble. The bridesmaid, Aliss Judy Hamilton, was becomingly attired ill ' rose pink taffeta, with fully flared skirt with the sleeves and hem-lino heavily' niched. Over the tightfitting bodice was worn a short ecat above the waist, o,f the same material as the frock. A top-knot of three matching flowers was worn on the head, and she carried a bouquet of cactus dahlias to tone with the frock. The bridegroom was attended by his brother, ,Mr D. Chrystall as best man, and Air Ross Simpson and Mr J. Chrystall acted as ushers. 'A reception was afterwards held at the P.D.C. tearooms, which were gaily decorated with ■asters. Mrs Simpson, mother of the bride, who wore a cyclamen frock with black accessories, and Airs Chrystall,, the bridegroom’s mother, who wore a navy pinstriped costume relieved with lemon, received the guests, some of whom wore present from Auckland, 'Hawke’s Bay, Wellington and Palmerston North.
