ORANGE BLOSSOMS.

MR CHARLES ROBERTSON TO MISS BALDWIN. Tton, was very prettily decorated HE Servite Priory, South Kensingon the 21st of September, the occasion lieing the marriage of Mr Charles Robertson, of 108 Gloucester Place, Portman Square, and Miss Norah Baldwin, (laughter of Captain Baldwin, who is now living in Perth, W.A. Captain Baldwin was formerly proprietor of the ‘New Zealand Times.' The ceremony was arranged for 11 o'clock on Tuesday morning, and was performed by the Rev. Wm. Eyre. S.J., the Rev. Michael Gouin, the Rev. Prior Mullarkey, and two others. The bride was beautifully gowned in ivory satin, with exquisite trimmings of duchesse point lace and pearl passementerie. She wore the bridegroom's gifts, pearls and diamonds. Dr. Gerald Baldwin, brother of the bride, gave her away. There were three bridesmaids in ehic costumes, viz.. Miss Parker, Miss .1. Story, the bride’s niece, and Miss Scott, niece of the bridegroom. The service was long, being fully choral, and winding up with a sermon on married duties, and the Nuptial Mass. After celebrating the latter the wedding party left, the church and proceeded to a grand reception at Bailey’s Hotel, South Kensington. Mr and Mrs Robertson left London later in the day for Lucerne and Florence. At the latter place they intend visiting the Servite Church; at Monte Senario, the birthplace of the Servite Order, they also mean to pay a call. MR BAR VERSON TO MISS TREADWELL. This wedding was rather unusually quiet, as the happy pair displayed strong objections to the usual state and ceremony of a fashionable wedding. This modern bridegroom was Mr William Walter Harverson, of Upper Clapton, London, and his bride Miss Laura Augusta Treadwell, of Wellington, N.Z. They matured their plans in dead secrecy, and one morning. September 15th, they mounted their bicycles and apparently set off for Hastings, Sussex. On the way they called at St.

Mary Abbots, and were duly married. The lady was given away by Miss Moysey, and Miss Treadwell’s cousin, Mr A. D. Hardy, also witnessed the marriage. The bride was simply dressed in a bright blue sailor gown, loose blouse and skirt, white pith Colombo hat, ordinary white net veil, and white kid gloves. The bridegroom wore a light grey cycling suit with white tie and gloves. The two thus quietly made one went on their honeymoon tour to Hastings, and are passing their holiday on wheels, touring the southern coast in a most delightful fashion. They propose to spend the winter on the Continent. MR THORNTON TO MISS HUNT. The wedding of Mr D. E. Thornton, of Auckland, New Zealand, and Miss Florence Enid Leigh Hunt, eldest daughter of Mr Walter Leigh Hunt, of 25, Queensbury Place, London W., was celebrated recently at Christ Church, Lancaster Gate, London.

The bride was married by’ her brother, rector of St. Peter’s, the Rev. D. Barry. Mr C. F. Barry, her younger brother, gave her away. MR McCALLUM TO MISS WALKER. In the picturesque little church at Ellerslie, Auckland, on Wednesday’ morning, October 27th, a very dainty wedding took place, when Miss Kathleen (Gipsy) Walker, eldest daughter of Mr W. C. Walker, of ‘Greenhills,’ Ellerslie, was married to Mr Robert McCallum. The Rev. Mr Norrie officiated. The ceremony was of the quietest description possible, only immediate relations being present. The bride was led to the altar by her father. She looked very bright and pretty in a stylish fawn Sedan cloth travelling costume, the coat opening over a pouched vest of pink shot with green mousseline de soie ; smart brown hat, trimmed with pink roses and chiffon. The bridesmaid, Miss Dolly Walker, wore an effective heliotrope dress, heliotrope hat to match, and she carried a lovely’ shower bouquet. The bridegroom, who wore a tourist suit of knickerbockers, was supported by Air Whitson as best man. At the close of the service Mrs Eliott played the ‘Wedding March.’ After the ceremony Mr and Mrs Walker entertained the party at ‘Greenhills’ with a champagne breakfast. Mr and Mrs McCallum departed amidst warmest congratulations for Rotorua, where they are spending their honeymoon.
