WEDDING

CRAN FIELD—JAME S. An Easter wedding was solemnised Christ Church, Wanganui, on Saturday evening, March 31, when Winifred Pricilla, sixth daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. N. James, of Bell Street, Wanganui, was marired to Gordon, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Cranfield, “Hopelands,’’ Woodville. The beautiful Easter decorations in the church made a lovely floral setting for the wedding group. The Rev. C. Dobbs officiated. Entering the church with her father, who gave her away, the bride wore a becoming frock of ivory satin beaute and silk lace designed on slim-fitting lines to the knees and flared with godets of lace? The full puff sleeves were inset with lace panels. The silk net veil was arranged to the head with orange blossoms and she carried a bouquet of Madonna lilies and asters.

The three bridesmaids, the Misses Alice James (sister of the bride), Olwyn Cranfield (sister of the bridegroom), and Winnie Clarke wore dainty frocks of lavender georgette, frilled at the hem and finished at the waist with a diamante buckle. Their hats and shoes toned with their frocks, and they wore pink crystal necklaces and ear rings (the gift of the bridegroom).
