St. Peter’s Church. Takapuna, was the scene of a particularly charming wedding last evening when Ellen Endean Gaudin, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. E. X. Gaudin, of “Wharekoa” Bayswater, became the bride of Air. Allan Brett Rainger, second son of Air. and Airs. W. J. Rainger. of Domett Avenue. Epsom, and grandson of Lady Brett and the late Sir Henry Brett. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. W. G. Alonckton. Given away by her father, the bride wore a charming old world gown of ivory satin beaute over shell pink taffeta. A scalloped collar of soft ivory georgette fell over the close-fitting-corsage. The long full skirt worn over a crinoline had a deep hem of blonde lace surmounted by tiny scalloped frills of ivory georgette. Little sprigs of pink tinted orange blossom were scattered over the skirt. The bridal veil of ivory tulle, which formed the train, was edged with blonde lace and was caught over each ear with clusters of orange blossom. Three tonings of pink flowers were used for the bouquet. Ali.ss Freda Gaudin. sister of the bride, attended her as chief bridesmaid. Her gown of shell pink georgette had a daintily pintucked corsage and an ankle-length overskirt of pink lace. A large looped bow of tulle finished the waistline. Her large picture hat was of pink crinoline edged with tulle. Little sheaves of green hydrangea were used in her bouquet of pink flowers. Aliss Constance Rainger. sister of the groom, was the second maid, who wore a similarly fashioned gown in pretty willow green. Her shower bouquet was of pink chrysanthemums. Both bridesmaids wore necklets of rhine- j stones. Air. Keith Stewart attended the I

i bridegroom as best man. and Air. Alurray Hunter was groomsman. A reception was later held at the home of the bride’s parents, Airs. Gaudin receiving her guests in a gown of navy blue lace.
