NEWMAN—GARRICK.

A wedding of considerable interest was celebrated at St. Mary’s, Merivale, on Wednesday, 16th, when Mr J. P. Newman, of Timaru, was married to Miss Mabel Maud Garrick, youngest daughter of Mrs J. F. Garrick, "Orwell,” Papanui road. The church was most tastefully decorated by a bevy of the bride’s girl friends, under the direction of Mrs Verne Hargreaves, and was garlanded and wreathed into a veritable conservatory. All white flowers were used for the altar and choir stalls, but the garlands across the nave and aisle were of lycopodium and crimson cactus dahlias; the window ledges were wreathed with shimmering clematis, Virginian creeper, asparagus, autumn leaves, crimson berries, and flowers; the ends of the seats down the aisle had flax and silvery pampas fastened with bridal ribbon; while suspended at the entranee of the chancel, where the bride and bridegroom stood, were their initials, M. and J., in silver leaves on a white ground, and a true lovers’ knot between. Canon Knowles officiated, assisted by Canon Pascoe, and Mr Clarence Turner presided at the organ and played the “Wedding March.” Punctually at 2.30 p.m. the bride entered with her brother, Mr Bruce Garrick, of Pleasant-Point, who gave her away. Their residence is so close they walked to the church, a roll of matting being laid to the church door. There was only one opinion, that the bride looked thoroughly happy and very sweet, and wore a lovely gown of bengaline silk with train, some lovely old lace adorned the hem, laid on quite plain, with beaver fur at the foot. The yoke of gathered chiffon, a fichu of the same lace draping it, finished with bebe ribbon, and she wore a pearl pendant and gold bangle, the gifts of the bridegroom. A white beaver toque with ospreys and tuft of real lace. Three bridesmaids were in attendance—Miss N. Way, Miss C. New-

man (sister of the bridegroom), and Miss B. Meares (niece of the bride). They all wore cream voile gowns, trimmed on the bodice with gold galon. The elder bridesmaids wore blue hats with panne velvet crowns of violet and cream lace, and the little girl a pale blue tucked hat. They all carried shower bouquets of violets with blue streamers, and wore gold curb bracelets, the gifts of the bridegroom. Mr W. A. Day was best man, and Mr E. Webb and Mr Garrick groomsmen. About 100 guests were present, who adjourned to “Orwell” for afternoon tea, champagne, etc., to drink the health of the bride and bridegroom, who were well pelted on leaving the church, but very mercifully with flower petals. The presents were arranged in the ballroom, and were a goodly sight. A marquee on the lawn provided room for the afternoon tea, and a band played during the afternoon, greeting the happy pair with the “Wedding March” as they returned from the church. Mrs J. F.
