As a pleasant interlude to bis labours amid the turmoil round the Chinese Constitution melting pot, Dr. George Ernest Alorrison, the Peking correspondent of the “Times,” whose appointment as political adviser of the President of the Chinese Republic was announced a few Weeks ago, was married last Monday at Emmanuel Church, South Croydon, 'fhe bride was Miss Jennie Wark Robin, a charming young lady of 22, who first met Dr. Morrison in Peking, and who is said to be a New Zealander by birth. Miss Robin returned to England a few win ks ago, and Dr. Alorrison on being appointed to his present post secured a short leave and returned to making the journey in fifteen days. The marriage took place in Emmanuel Church, South Croydon, but so well had the secret been kept that only a dozen people were present at the marriage, which was by special license. The service was conducted by the Rev. B. N. Phillips, the vicar, of the parish. The ‘bride, who looked very youthful compared with the bridegroom, there being some 30 years’ difference in their ages, was married in her travelling dress, which was of blue material, and the eere.uony was of the quietest possible description. Those present included the bride's parents, the bridegroom’s mother, and Kir. John AleLcavy Brown, and a very few .other relatives and friends. The bride was given away by her father, Mr. Robert Robin, of “Wenduyue,” Lismore Road. South Croydon. The bride said good bye to Iter parents in the vestry, and the.couple then left for their honeymoon, which will be spent travelling on the Continent, whence they go to China, where Dr. Alorrison has to take up the duties of his new post in Peking in October. In such work as that which Dr. Alorrison is about to take up it is particularly ill for man to live alone. Airs. Alorrison knows China well, and is thus qualified in every way to prove a helpmeet for her distinguished husband.
