BOUQUET OF ORCHIDS

MAIDS IN PINK AND BLUE NISBET—NEALIE A pretty wedding took place at i All Saints’ Church, Ponsonby, on Satuprday last, when Louissa Nealie, only daughter of Mrs. Pittams, of Ponsonby, was married to Albert James, only son of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Nisbet, of Epsom. The church was prettily decorated by friends of the bride. The bride, who was given away by her stepfather, Mr. .T. Pittams, wore a distinctive gown of ivory crepe de chine. Fashioned with tight-fitting bodice and long sleeves, the puffed skirt dipped to the ground at the back and was finished with a hem of silver lace. The tulle veil, which formed a train, edged with silver lace, was gathered on to a close-fitting cap. finished with orange blossoms. A bouquet of orchids completed the bride’s toilette. She was attended by two maids, Miss Mavis Basset, who wore a pale pink taffeta frock, and Miss Daphne Jack- | son, cousin of tho bride, who wore delphinium blue taffeta. Both wore close-fitting caps to tone, with long | velvet streams reaching below the I hem of their frocks. , The wedding breakfast was held at i the Penrith tea-rooms, where Mrs. PitI tarns received her guests wearing a i gown of mulberry crepe fleuri. She carried a bouquet of lemon-shaded flowers. Mrs. Nisbet wore a frock of embossed crepe do chine and a black silk wrap, and she carried a bouquet of violets and roses. EVE IN YELLOW

SKIRTS VARIED BUT NO KNEES CHELSEA'S FASHION SHOW ! The first real fashion show of the season in England was held at the Chelsea Flower Show: for women showed the summer frocks they themselves had chosen. The previous mannequin shows were but the fashions i which the dressmakers hoped would bo adopted. Coats had been discarded and the sun was given something colourful to shine upon. Then were seen the real colours of the season—then were lemon-yellow and lovebird-green tried in the balance. Yellow was not found wanting, but lovebird green! Yet it takes a braver woman to wear yellow than love-bird green, which shows how many brave women there are in London, for never was there so much yellow seen. Mostly yellow twined itself with black, but here and there was an allyellow girl. Sometimes the shades were varied in one costume. A tall girl had a largo orange hat and her yellow' dress had little black ships with orange sails embroidered on the hip-band. ALL IN RED The contrasts in this yellow world Iwere more distinctive than usual. A woman all in red wore one of the smartest dresses. Knife-pleats came fr.om a yoke at the back and were only released at a flounce at the bottom. These pleats are the dressmaker’s mark for the season. They appeal* particularly in skirt flounces, and almost every skirt had its flounce—if not three. Length of skirt varied, but no knees were showing. The waist-line still appeared to be long, but it was because of the fitted hip-band; sometimes it was a hipyoke. Soft lingerie collars were on many dresses, and the large “workman’s handkerchief” was worn by many women. Hats were mostly bonnet-shaped and not very large. OTOROHANGA WEDDING BROCK—RICHMOND Miss Kellie Richmond, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Richmond, of Pirongia Road, Otorohanga, wore a charming wedding frock of white foie do chine, trimmed with silver lace and orange blossoms, when she was married to Mr. Edward Brock, of Alai- ; hiihi, in the Presbyterian Church at Otorohanga on "Wednesday. The Rev. E. IT. Kedgley performed 1 the ceremony. The bride, whose beautifully embroidered veil was caught by a coronet of orange blossoms, entered the church on the arm of her brother. Mr. Joseph Richmond, and was attended by her sister, Miss May Richmond. Miss Richmond wore deep peach crepe do chine and a black picture hat. Mr. Frank Richmond carried out the duties of best man. After the wedding a reception was held in the home of the bride’s parents. Mrs. George Richmond received her guests wearing a fawn dress trimmed with crepe de chine, black hat and furs.
