LEGGE—FLANAGAN. News has been received, writes our Wellington correspondent, of the marriage of Miss Gwen Flanagan, daughter of Mr F. Flanagan, of the Lands and Survey Department, to Mr R. W. Legge, son of Col Legge, of Tasmania. The ceremony took place in Sydney.

SMALE—TREWIN. A quiet wedding was solemnised in the Otabuhu Methodist Church on February 27th, when Miss Trewin was married to Mr W. Smale, of Mount Eden. Rev. C. Griffin officiated, and though the hour fixed was eleven o’clock a large number were present at the chureh. The choir, of which Miss Trewin had been a member, mustered in force to render the choral part of the service. Miss Robinson, the organist, played the “Wedding March.”

GAUDIN—KRONFELD. St. Paul’s, Auckland, was the scene of a fashionable wedding on March 22, when Mr Walter James Payn Gaudin and Miss Jenny Lotomua Kronfeld were married. The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr Gustav Kronfeld, the wellknown Island merchant, and the bridegroom, who is one of the proprietors of the Gisborne “Times,” is the second son of Mr Fred Gaudin, well-known in Auckland and the Waikato. Girl friends of the bride had decorated the chureh very prettily with lycopodium, etc., for the oecasion, and out of compliment to the bridegroom, who was formerly superintendent of the parish Sunday-sehool and churchwarden, the service was a choral one, Mr Alfred Hill presiding at the organ. Canon C. Al. Nelson was the officiating clergyman. As both families were so very well known the church was crowded with well-wishers anxious to see the ceremony. The bride, who was given away by her father, looked very charming in a handsome ivory brocade robe with folded chiffon, festooned and caught with knots at intervals round the trained skirt. The bodice had a Maltese transparent yoke with a trail of orange blossoms, which fell over the left shoulder, reaching to the waist at the front and back. A tulle veil over a tiara of orange blossoms and a lovely bouquet of choice white orchids, veiled with maidenhair ferns, presented by Mrs Steadman, completed a becoming ensemble. The bridegroom’s gift to the bride was a beautiful pearl necklet and pendant. The bride was attended by the Misses Stevenson, Lucy Ehrenfried, Minna Kronfeld. and Maggie Silviera’ They wore beautifully blended Romney picture frocks in French tints of pale blue and pink taffetas, the bodices being inset with ecru lace V’s. They wore large hats with beefeater crowns, bestrewn with lace dises and shaded feathers laid flatly on the brims, with the ends drooping ever the sides. They carried pretty bouquets and baskets of pink lilies and ferns, and wore handsome pearl pendants and gold brooches, the gifts of the bridegroom. In the wake of the bridal party followed two little pages, Masters Isi and Moe Kronfeld (brothers of the bride), in blaek velvet suits and white collars. The groomsmen were Messrs William T. Gordon, of Wellington (private secretary to the Hon. James Carroll) and Air Ernest Chrisp, of Gisborne. After the ceremony Mr and Mrs Kronfeld held a reception at the Masonic Hall, Princes-street. The main hall was uio*l beautifully decorated by Alias Rob-

ertson, florist, of Queeu-street, lycopodium being the principal decoration used. Festoons and clusters of this graceful fern quite transformed the interior of the building, and gay flags skilfully interspersed added the necessary touch of colour. The ante-room was also very prettily arranged. Mr Burke's orchestra, which played a programme of delightful music, occupied the dais. The bridal party sat at a large table in the centre of the hall, which bore the wedding cake, a huge and perfect specimen of the confectioner’s art from Mr Buchanan's, and the other guests, numbering about two hundred, occupied small tables set about the room. The breakfast was exceptionally sumptuous. Nothing that could minister to the pleasure of the guests was wanting, and the affair passed off most brilliantly. Canon Nelson, who said he bad watched the careers of the young people with much interest for a number of years, proposed the health of the bride and bridegroom in a very happy speech, in the course of which he said some very nice things about %oth of them. M> Gaudin replied in a characteristic manner, and proposed the health of the bridesmaids. Messrs. Gordon and Chrisp both made humorous replies. Ml J. McKail Geddes, who is an ideal postprandial speaker, proposed the health of the parents of bride and bridegroom in his happiest vein, and spoke most eulogistically of Mr and Mrs Gaudin and Mr and Mrs Kronfeld, whom he had known for a very long time, Mr Kronfeld and Mr Gaudin replied id an appropriate manner.
