Thomson, of Clinton, was joined in tlie bonds of holy matrimony to Wingate, older son of Mr find Mrs T. Lewitt, of Ashburton. The Rev. L. Groves, of Balclutha officiated, and Miss Anne Johnson (a friend of the bride) presided at the organ. The church was prettily decorated by friends of the bride, a huge floral bell composed of orange and lemon marigolds, suspended from the ceiling above the chancel, being a conspicuous adornment in the scheme. The bride, who entered the church on the arm of her brother, Mr D. Thomson, of Paretai, made a charming picture in a gown of cream satin beante. The bodice was designed on close-fitting lines, being moulded below the hip-line, from the which the voluminous, flared skirt full in graceful folds to the ground. Over the gown, which was sleeveless, was worn a dainty lace coatee, caught in front with a spray of orange blossom and finished with long, tightfitting sleeves with a flared frill which fell over the hand. Her long tulle veil fell to form a train and was arranged from the back of a Juliet can of pearls, and finished at the sides with sprays of orange blossom. Slippers and hose to tone, a string of pearls, and a sheaf of lemon and orange marigolds, dahlias, and maidenhair fern completed her toilette. In attendance were two bridesmaids—Misses Bnnty Thomson (sister of the bride) and Phyllis Grant, of Puerua. The former was attired in orange wool lace, and the latter in lemon crepe de chine. Their dresses were designed alike; the full instep-length skirts fell in folds from a hip yoke, the scalloped line of which was repeated in the coatees, which were .finished with velvet bows at the back and long, tight-fitting sleeves with flared cuffs falling over the hand, and were worn over sleeveless bodices. They wore Juliet caps of pearls, and each wore a necklace_ to match her frock (the gifts of the bridegroom). Shoes and hose to tone and sheafs of orange and lemon marigolds and golden rod were charming adjuncts to their ensembles. Two little tots. Margaret Dunlop and Joan Beck (nieces of the bride), were train-bearers. They wore dressed alike in ankle-length frocks •>! lemon crepe de chine, designed on early Victorian lines, with tight-fitting bodices, puff sleeves, and skirts of tiny frills, finished with, orange and lemon streamers and posies, both on the dresses and at the wrists. Their shoes and stockings were of the same shade, and each wore n Juliet cap of pearls. They carried baskets of orange and lemon marigolds and wore lemon brooches (the gift of the bridegroom). The bridegroom was attended by Mr Cliff Blaikie as best man, and Mr Charles Wyeth ns groomsman. Diming the signing of the register a solo. “ The Promise of Life,was sung by Mrs 11. Nelson. A reception was afterwards held in the Clinton Coronation Hall, where Mrs Thomson, assisted by Mr and Mrs Lewitt, received about 100 guests. Mrs Thomson was gowned in black crepe de chine, relieved with white, with a coatee to match, and wore a black velvet and felt bat. trimmed with a white osprey, and she carried a bouquet of autumn-tinted chrysanthemums. Mrs Lewitt was attired in a dark brown marocain gown, and a coatee trimmed with niching, with a hat to match, and she carried a brown silk muff. During the breakfast solos were rendered by Mrs H. Nelson Mrs V. Blaikie, and Mr 0. Silcoek. The usual toasts were duly honoured and a large number of con gratnlatory telegrams read. The happy couple were (he recipients of many useful gifts, including cheques. Later, when Mr and "Nil's W. Lewitt left by car on their wedding lour, the bride was wearing j* smart blue and white decked frock, trimmed with white, with hat, shoes, stockings, gloves, and purse to match, and a bine winter fur-trimmed coat. She carried a handsome musquash coat, the gift of the bridegroom. Prior to her marriage the bride was entertained at a kitchen evening at Clinton, given in her honour by about 100 friends. A similar evening was also given her by friends in Ravensbonrne, and the bridegroom was entertained at a “ pantry ” evening by friends in Geraldine. Mr and Mrs Lewitt'* future home will be in Geraldine.

Fine weather favoured the ladies of the Warepa Women’s Institute for their second birthday party, which was hold in the Warepa Hall on the afternoon of May 10. There was an attendance of over 100 members and friends, representatives being present from Kaitangata, Kaka Point, Stirling, Pnkekoma, Puerua, Waiwera South, Awamangu, Clydevale. Benhar, and Lovell’s Flat. Apologies were received from Mesdames Caldwell, Kee, and Smith, also from Paretai and Papatowai Institutes. The institute ode was sung, after which the president (Mrs Ayson) welcomed the visitors, and in a few wellchosen words said that meeting in this way created a feeling of comradeship and co-operation, not only among their own institutes, but with others. If they did not work together for the good of all, then they were not carrying out the spirit of the movement. The motto for the day was: Keep smiling though the skies arc grey. And look upon the bright side. But if no bright side yon cun see, Then polish up the dark side. Items were contributed by Mrs Cross (pianoforte solo), Mrs G. Stewart (recitation), and Miss M. Cross (song). A “ Grannies’ Parade ” caused much amusement. First came the present-day grannies, up-to-date and fashionably dressed. Then the sporting grandma, with her nattv little golfing outfit and golfing sticks: and then in stately procession the grannies of the olden days—with their piled up hair, bonnets, spectacles, very full long skirts and bustles. A playette entitled “ Under a Misapprehension, taken from “ Home and Country,” was well applauded. The characters _ were represented by Mrs Millar (Mrs 0 Sliannessy). Miss A. Ross (Mrs Huggins), Miss M. Cross (Bill Huggins), and Mesdames Bringing Cross, Jenkins, and Miss Stewart visiting institute members. There was a splendid display of members' handwork, also handwork and articles of olden days. A spinning wheel and lace-making machine attracted much attention. An enjoyable afternoon tea was dispensed. The president (Mrs Ayson) cut the lovely birthday cake, with its two caudles, which was made by Mrs Ayson and iced by Mrs M’Tuiosh. A "proverb” competition was very successful in bringing members together. The proverbs were written on paper, which was cut in half and banded round. V * * A wedding of considerable interest to residents was celebrated at the Tokomairiro Presbyterian Church last week, when Louisa (Lulu) Margaret, second daughter of Mr and Mrs S. D. Corston (Milton) was married to James John, older son of Mr and Mrs J.'P. Buchan, Maori Hill, Dunedin. The seating accommodation of the church was filled to overflowing by the large attendance of persona) friends and interested spectators.

M'Neur performed the ceremony, and Miss Kathleen Every presided at the organ. The bride, who was escorted by her father, was daintily attired in a model gown of white cyltic satin, designed with long bodice moulded to the figure, over which was worn a short coatee 1 of radium lace with tightly-fittingg sleeves. The Cully-flared skirt fell to the instep, showing white satin slippers and hose to match. She carried a bouquet of white chrysanthemums, arum lilies, roses, anti maidenhair fern; an embroidered veil held in place by orange blossom and hanging to form a'slight train completed a very charming toilette. She was attended by her two sisters. Marjorie and Dorothy, who were attired alike in charming frocks of azure blue cyltic satin with tightly-fitting bodices, hip yokes, and fully-flared skirts falling to the instep. The narrow waist belts were finished with diamante buckles, and training pink sprays from shoulder to waist were worn on the back. They carried shower bouquets of pink roses, carnations, hydrangeas, and maidenhairfern. A small bridesmaid; —Ina Wilson, a cousin of the bride—was attired in an early Victorian frock of the same shade, with short bodice and fully-flared skirt falling to the instep. Tlie tiny puffed sleeves and sash finished with a large bow at the hack completed the bodice. She carried a tiny pink Victorian posy. Ail the attendants wore shoes and hose to match, and their bandeaux, which were worn well off the face, were composed of gold leaves and pink and blue flowers. The bridegroom was attended by Mr Hector Harvey, of Maori Hill, Dunedin, as best man, and Mr Bridgman Gray, of Milton, as groomsman. The duties of ushers were carried out by Messrs WHunt and A. Buchan. During the signing of the register Miss Eunice Stewart gave a delightful rendering of the solo “ How Lovely Are Thy Dwellings.” At tlie conclusion of the ceremony the small bridesmaid presented the bride with a gold horseshoe. The reception was held in the Excelsior X’ea Room*, where tlie bride’s mother, attired in a gown of black celanese and radium lace with coatee to match, and black felt hat finished with a red feather, received the guests.
