WEDDINGS

WHITLEY—MACNAB. Maple foliage and chrysanthemums shading from cream to the pales and deepest gold and bronze tints, with ribbons and posies marking the pews for the guests, were-used effectively by girl friends of a bride to decorate the interior of Trinity Presbyterian Church, on Saturday afternoon, 3rd June. The bride was Mona, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs T. L. Macnab. Arthur Street, Timaru, and the bridegroom Albert, second son of Mr and Mrs W. Whitley, Baker Street, Timaru. The Rev. A. J. H. Dow was the officiating clergyman, with Mr David Blair at the organ. The bride, who was escorted by her father, wore a delightful little gown, fashioned from magnolia crepe satin. The sleeves, puffed to the e\bows. fitted closely over the hands in deep cuffs joined by tiny loops and buttons, and pointed panels rose to the V neck of the bodice, with a suggestion of a yoke to be caught in front by a spray of orange blossom. A narrow sash of satin indicated the waist, the frock then flaring widely by diagonal seaming in slim graceful folds about her feet. The veil of deep cream embroidered silk net arranged from a quaint cap in fretwork design of golden threads, and a half circlet of tinted orange blossom buds, fell as a long ; train, and she held an armlet of deep abutilons and chrysanthemums. Miss Elsie Barnes, the only attendant maid, wore a charming frock of pale Nile green satin beaute. the sleeveless bodice being moulded to the figure and softened at the neckline b? a pointed cowl-collar of georgette while the shaped skirt was accentuated by diamond-shaped panels falling tc ankle-length. A short satin coatee with sleeves puffed from below the shoulder to the deep fitted cuffs accompanied the frock. and a wide Picture hat of felt in the same shadf >f green was swathed by a satin ribbon vith a splash bow on the brim. Bronze ind gold abutilons and narcissi were n her bouquet. Mr Harold Whitlex 'ssisted his brother as best man. Mr and Mrs Macnab subsequently entertained their guests at a reception held at the Bay tea rooms, Mrs Macnab wearing a graceful ensemble of black silk marocain the gown relieved with beige pipings, and a black felt hat trimmed with plaited ribbon. Deep red chrysanthemums showed in her bouquet. The bridegroom’s mother chose a smart tailored navy blue cloth coat and a navy felt hat, and carried a bouquet of gold and red-shaded chrysanthemums. When Mr and Mrs A. W. Whitley left on their wedding tour, the bride was wearing an attractive frock of African brown woollen afgalaine, its simplicity relieved by hand-knitted cuffs in semi-gauntlet line; also collar and vestee striped in shades of orange brown and green. Her smart tailored coat of diagonal face-cloth, furred with sable, matched her small brown velour hat.
