E. Flyger, to Mr Frank Nicholson, fifth son of the late Mr Nicholson, of Dannevirke. The wedding was celebrated in St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, which had been prettily decorated by the young people of the Bible Class, of which Miss Flyger had been a member. A large number of flags was used in the decorative scheme, in recognition of the military service of the bridegroom. The officiating Minister was the Rev. J. Charteris, while Miss Ethel Cowie, of Wanganui, presided at the orgau. The church was filled by a large concourse of guests and other friends, including visitors who had travelled from Christ- | church, Wellington, New Plymouth, I and other distant centres in order to be present at the wedding. The conI gregation sang "The voice that j breather o’er Eden” as the bride entered, leaning on the arm of her father. She was charmingly attired in white crepe de chine, with overdress of ninon and panel of silver and pink tissue. Her veil was embroidered in white and pink, arranged in mob cap style, with ths conventional wreath of orange blossoms, while she carried a handsome shower bouquet of white flowers, tinged with pink. Miss Rene Flyger, as bridesmaid, wore champagne crepe de chine, trimmed with tiny pink rosebuds, her hat being of ■ black tulle, relieved with pink and trimmed with buds in harmony with ; her dress.
