A wreath of orange blossoms and an exquisitely handeimbroi'dercd veil, the work and gift, of the Dominican nuns, completed a simple -and graceful toilet. The bridesmaids were Miss Waterston (Invercargill) and Miss McEivtyre (sister of the bride). Mr. J. McEtntyre was best man. The gifts of the bridegroom to the bride were a gold watch acid a muff chain, and to the bridesmaids pretty spray brooches.
