WEDDING AT THE LAHMANN HEALTH HOAIE.

The Lahraann Health Home on Saturday last was the scene of a romantic event, when. Mr Richard Efulso and Miss Lela Banfield pledged each other their troth in the pretty drawingroom there. Both the bride and bridegroom were patients residing in the home, the bridegroom having entered it in very poor health over a year ago and having remained there ever since. The bride has only recently been under the home treatment. The ceremony was performed by the Revi G,' S. Coates, who was also, for some time, a patient. ’ Two young lady patients, Misses Wilson and Cook, were the bridesmaids, and the musical part of ; the service whs conducted by Dr Von Dannevill, the resident doctor (at the organ), and Miss Jones, another patient, at the piano, while the rest of the, staff and the remaining patients formed a gala-like congregation and choir. The bride, who wore a gown of embroidered cream voile and a veil falling softly over a wreath of real bush myrtle, was given away by her mother, and the bridegroom was attended by his brother as best man. Owing to the desire of the bridal pair that the wedding should be very quiet only a very few of their personal griends were invited as guests; nevertheless the wedding breakfast was arranged for 40, and despite the stormy weather quite that number partook of it. The. usual “speechifying” was done with much gaiety, and the weather clearing, a valiant attempt at photographing the party was made by Miss Hardie Shaw, who is also undergoing treatment at the home. The lady patients had been indefatigable in collecting flowers and greenery, and their skilful fingers had given a most festive appearance to the large drawingroom, lounge, and corridor; a bright fire, burning cheerily, gave a delightful touch of comfort, and made the great crimson entrance lounge look a picture of cosiness. After enjoying afternoon tea, Mr and Mr s Hulse'left, showered with rose petals, for their residence in Brougham street, their motor-car having been surreptitiously decorated with slices of various styles and hues.
