A wedding of widespread interest was celebrated on Thursday, January 25, at St. Xavier’s Church, Whangarei. when Frances Mary, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs H. B. Sloane, Maunu, was mari’ied to James Francis, eldest son of Mr and Mrs T. Sharkey, Te Aroha. Miss Jones was at the. organ. Selos were sung by Mrs Aldred (Whangarei) and Mrs C. Bowler (Kohukohu). Nuptial mass was celebrated by Father Murphy. The bride, who entered the church on the arm of her father, made a charming picture in a beautiful frock of magnolia satin made on slim-fitting lines. The skirt was cut in narrow gores, which widened out into a long train. This w r as appliqued in selfmatching georgette of Tudor roses. The same design was continued around the square neckline and the long pointed sleeves. Over this she wore a cream Limerick lace veil caught to her head with a topknot of cream flowers. Her bouquet was a sheath of cream gladioli and dahlias. In attendance on the bride were her two sisters, Mrs Noel Wilson, as matron of honour, and Miss Molly Sloane, as bridesmaid. They were dressed alike in frocks of novelty selfpatterned aquamarine taffeta made on princess lines, with a ruched corsage and full skirt forming a bustle at the back. They wore matching picture hats and carried sheaths of gold gladioli. The bridegroom was attended by his two brothers, Mr J. P. Sharkey and Mr S. T. Sharkey, of Te Aroha. The reception was held at the Settlers’ Hotel, where the guests were received by Mrs Sloane, who was wearing a full-length frock of navy fiat crepe relieved with lace and navy accessories. She carried a bouquet of cyclamen and pompom dahlias. She was assisted by the bridegroom’s mother, who wore an ensemble of leaf brown satin-backed crepe trimmed with brown lace over gold satin. She wore a brown straw hat trimmed with a spray in autumn tonings and carried a bouquet of lilies and dahlias also in autumn shades.

“Why do people smoke?” asked a London weekly recently, and invited readers to reply. The prize was awarded to the man who wrote: “Because it makes life better worth living.” But does it? Provided your baccy is O.K. smoking certainly helps a lot to brighten existence; but if it’s loaded with nicotine as so many brands unfortunately are, instead of cheering the pilgrim on his way, it may affect his nerves, throat or heart, and play up generally with him. But given the right baccy it’s a boon and a blessing unspeakable.' And the right baccy is within the reach of every New Zealander! Grown and manufactured in cur midst “toasted” combines exquisite flavour and aroma with great purity because toasting frees it so considerably of the injurious nicotine and makes it safe for even the heavy smoker. The .five (and only genuine) toasted brands. Cut Plug No. 10 (Builshead), Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold merit their wide popularity. They’re unique. There’s no other tobacco to compare with them. R.P.30
