WEIR—TROUP.

St. John’s Presbyterian Church, Wellington, was thronged with people on Thursday afternoon to see the wedding of Jean, second daughter of Air G. A. Troup, ex-Alayor of Wellington, and Airs Troup, to David Edmonson, eldest son of Air and Airs D. Weir, Auckland. it was a pink wedding, simplicity being the keynote. The church had been decorated with big bowls of hydrangeas by the bride’s friends, and the ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. R. Blanchard. The organ music was played by Mr Kerry. The bride, who entered the church with her father, wore a gown of ivory silk net with Russian embroidery, made with rounded neck and tiny puff sleeves, with a graceful flared skirt and tight bodice. Under this was a slip of palest shell pink, giving a glow and warmth most becoming to the wearer. A veil of Honiton laco loosely clasped to the head with tiny orange blossom buds formed a long train. Long gloves and pink satin shoes were also worn. Her flowers, Easter lillies and deep cream roses, with autumn foliage and asparagus fern, added a note of richnes to the toilette. One maid, her sister, Aliss Ina Troup, attended her, wearing a pink frock of mousseline draped to the figure. Her panne velvet hat of the same colour was lined with eau-de nil velvet, and her shoes were eau-dc-nil also. Bright and pale pink roses with autumn leaves formed her bouquet. Air J. R. Herd was best man, and Messrs A. Ivory and A. Wilson were ushers. The reception took place at Kirkcaldie auj Stains Jacobean room, where about 160 people sat down to the wedding breakfasL Pink flowers predominated everywhere and the exquisite wcuding cake hud a cascade of pink roses falling from the top. M r and Airs Troup, the latter in an ensemble of heavy black lace over beige mariette, with a black velvet hat and osprey and white fox fur, received the guests in the lounge. Airs Troup carried a bouquet of scarlet gerbera, anemones and violets. The bride travelled in a smart tailored nigger tweed suit, beige tuck-in blouse, and nigger felt hat and brown furs. COLLEGE CAFETERIA. To provide a different lunch every day in the week for about 500 pupils and teachers without duplicating a meal is the unique record which has been created by Aliss A. D. Rennie, senior teacher of the home science ue partment of the Wellington Technical College, who is at present visiting Auckland (states the New Zealand Herald). The cafeteria was established by Miss Rennie a little over two years ago, and apart from planning every day’s menu she is ultimately respon sible for the whole of the financial side of the business. The college, cafeteria system is extensively established in the United .States, where, with her own scheme .in view, Aliss Rennie took a nine mouths’ refresher course at Columbia Teachers’ College five years ago. Although the cafeteria, makes a small margin of profit, chiefly owing to the rigid economy exercised in the kitchen, the cost of the meals is exceptionally cheap. Bowls of soup, vegetables dishes, meat dishes, anj desserts never exceed the sum of threepence each, while sandwiches, brown bread, and other meal breads, cakes, tea, cocoa, cool drinks, and fruit, are also provide.! at a very nominal sum. 'The outside cost need ue\er exceed ni’iv

pence, and for this a thoroughly nourishing lunch can be had. The varying of the daily menus is tin aspect to which particular attention is given. They arc planned a week ahead, and in spite of the large number of lunches provided there is always rn “element of surprise’’ in what the day’s lunch will be. “Certain days never mark certain dishes,’’ Miss Ken nie said emphatically.
