Engagements.

Thk good old 1 fashion of proclaim! n g the banns is being revived. and will, I fancy, become popular with most congre gations, and will furnish a capital topic for gossip on the way homeward. At St. Sepulchre’s, Auckland, an announcement of unusual interest has made a gentle flutter for three Sundays past, being no less than the proclamation of the banns of holy wedlock between Miss Dorothy Eleanor Dudley and Mr Ball, and Miss Ida Emily Pierce and Mr Roberton. Both the prospective brides have grown up from infancy under the shadow of S*. Sepulchre’s and beneath the administration of its faithful pastor, who takes a special pleasure in the prospects of the happy unions which these proclamations presage. The engagement of Miss Menzies, daughter of the late Hon. Dr. Menzies, M.L.C., and granddaughter of the

late Dr. Featherstone, to Mr Duncan Menzies, of Southland, is announced. Miss Ella Shirley Baker, of Symonds-street, Auckland, is engaged to Mr Roliaaon, a wealthy gentleman, of York, England. The wedding takes place in six months. The engagement is announced of Mr A. C. Rolleston, eldest son of the Hon. Wm. Rolleston. to Miss Ruby Buckley, daughter of Mrs Buckley, Park Terrace, Christchurch. Also that of Mr H. M. Reeves, son of the late Hon. W. Reeves, and Miss Katie Mills, daughter of Mr James Mills, Dunedin. The engagement is announced in Wellington between Miss Dora Heywood, second daughter of Mr J B Heywood, and Mr E. B. Burns, also of Wellington.
