JASPER—MAY

St. Luke’s Church in Remuera was the scene of a pretty wedding yesterday afternoon when Elsie Myrtle, the eldest daughter of Mr. D. May, of Green Lane, was married by the Rev. Mr. Thompson to George Alfred, the only son of Mrs. Jasper, of England. The winsome bride, who was given away by her father, was wearing a charming little bridal gown of parch-ment-tinted silk crepe marocain, made with a deeply-petalled skirt, gauged at the waistline and mounted on an underskirt of crepe satin, which was effectively edged at the hem with self-material. Motifs of orange blossom gave a novel charm to the gown, and a dainty bandirrgA of fur appeared on the sleeves, while at one side of the frock a bouffant bow of silver tissue made a brilliant splash of brightness. The bride wore a long veil of delicately embroidered tulle, caught with a chaplet of pearls and orange blossoms, and carried a shower bouquet of exquisite white flowers. Mrs. Beach attended as matron of honour and wore an attractive gown of rosewood crepe de chine, inset with ecru Mechlin lace. To match her smart frock she had a picture hat of rosecoloured crinoline straw swathed with velvet ribbon and trimmed with flowers. She carried a rose bouquet. The bridegroom was attended by Mr. Hector Stott as best man. Mrs. Morrison, the bride's sister, who received the guests later in the afternoon, wore a pretty frock of wistaria mauve ninon girdled with cameo-rose velvet and a pretty matching hat. GIBSON—CLARKE Last evening at St. Andrew’s Church a pretty wedding was celebrated by the Rev. J. Lamb Harvey, between Kathleen May, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. Clarke, of Kingsland, and Robert Neil, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Gibson, of Masterton. A veil of delicately-embroidered tulle fell in folds of misty loveliness over the bride’s dainty gown, which was fashioned of ivory georgette with a finely-pleated skirt. Bands of ribbon arranged in a trellis design across the bodice gave a pretty finish to the gown. A charming bouquet of pinkand white flowers was carried. Miss Edna Murray and Miss Doreen Bowen acted as bridesmaids and wore dainty frocks of taffetas in shades of rose and viola mauve respectively. Their frocks were made on simple lines, and their quiet charm was enhanced by the bandeaux of senins worn by the maids, who eo h carried a bouquet to match her frock. Two little flower girls, the Misses Joyce and Bonnie Farquhar, followed the bride, and wore winsome frocks of taffetas and georgette in shades of deep peach and powder-blue respectively. The bride was given away by her father, and the bridegroom was attended by Mr. I. Gibson as best nan and Mr. lan Symington as groomsman. ROBERT—DICK When Eileen Florence, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Dick, of Eden Terrace, was married yesterday afternoon at St. David's Church, by the Rev. ,Mr. Bertram to Louis August, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Victor Robert, of Dunedin, she wore a dainty little bridal gown of vellumtinted georgette, made on fascinating lines and given picturesqueness by a deep petalled hem below which peeped a border of cloth of silver. Silver beads were used in a striking design on the frock and gave it an air of distinction. A triple coronet of pearls and orange blossoms was worn to catch the veil of gossamer tulle that was arranged in the form of a train. Roses, sweet peas and cactus dahlias were happily mingled in a soft bouquet, of rose and white in the bridal bouquet, and were tied with streamers of dawn pink tulle. The bride was given away by her father and the bridegroom was attended by Mr. W. Hall as best man. Miss Ethel Matthews, who acted as bridesmaid, wore an attractive frock of wistaria-mauve taffeta to which a hint of originality was given by the motifs of sequins which appeared in effective fashion above the petalled hem of the full-gathered skirt. A quaint turban-like headdress of silver tissue and tulle was worn and a bouquet of flowers to match the bridesmaid’s frock, gave a pretty finish to her toilette. After the ceremony a reception was held at Nairn’s Tearooms, where the guests were received by the bride’s mother, who wore a smart gown of Naples blue crepe marocain inset with ecru lace. Her hat was of black and ecru tone and she carried a shower bouquet of blue flowers. ENGAGEMENTS The engagement is announced of Constance Mary Evelyn, second daughte of Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
