A wedding of interest to many people in South Canterbury took place in London on Tuesday last, when Nancy Bray, younger daughter of Mr and Mrs W. N. Bond, “Dunrobin,” Southland, and niece of Miss Elworthy, LeCren’s Ten-ace, Timaru, was married to Charles Cecil George Webb, R.A.F., only son of Mr and Mrs H. H. Webb. “Coolavin,” Sefton Street, Timaru. The wedding took place from the home of Mrs Sweet, Twickenham, and the bride was given away by Mr Melville Jameson, formerly of “Otumarama,” Timaru. The swan-like woman of the gay 'Nineties—with her slim waist and her round hips—has staged her undulating come-back. If you want to be figurefashionable and to follow in her dainty footsteps—then watch your waistline. Posture’s important. It matters a lot how you sit and stand and walk. No woman has a good waist if she’s got a back like a bow window, says an English exchange. Diet’s debatable. You may have to control starches for slimness—but you’ll cut a poor figure if you’re undernourished. Colour note: America rings two new tones for day and evening. They’re grey, with brown for accent.
