WEDDING

Macarthur —Smith

Magnolia and gold tipped feather birds as a headdress for her magnolia tulle veil accentuated Miss Joan Doreen Smith’s pretty fair hair and colouring when she was married in AVellington on Saturday. Magnolia and gold brocaded satin was used for her trained wedding gown, which was made with scalloped neckline, and she carried deep cream roses in her bouquet. Four bridesmaids in classical frocks of pale almond green and gold cloque carried autumn-tinted roses in their shower bouquets, making a soft glow of colour against their frocks. Gold feather birds tipped with green were placed In their hair. The matron of honour was Mrs. lan Macarthur, and the Misses Valerie Norman, Helen AViddop and Yvonne Holmes were bridesmaids.

Mr. lan Macarthur was best man and Messrs. Howard Smith, Wynne Mason and Dr. Gavin Forrest were groomsmen. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and ■Mrs. Horace Smith, Karaka Bay, AVellington, and the bridegroom, Mr. Colin Turnbull Macarthur, is the son of Mr. J. G. and the late Mrs. Macarthur, Kelburn, AVellington. Canon D. J. Davies performed the ceremony in St. Paul’s Pro-Cathedral. Mr. Smith gave his daughter away.

The reception was in the Grand Hotel, where the bride’s mother received the guests wearing a black modelffrock, with green and gold beading, on the sleeves and neckline. The bridegroom’s stepmother assisted her in a black model frock with touches of sequin trimming. For travelling the bride wore a navy and white ensemble with navy accessories and a platinum fox fur.

Remove iron mould stains from white linen or cotton by covering the stains with cream of tartar, putting them into cold water, and slowly heating them till they reach boiling point. If the material is then washed, the stains should disappear. Clean the edges of books which have become soiled by holding the books tightly down on a table and rubbing the edges with stale bread or pencileraser. Clamping them down tightly prevents the pages from crumpling up with the rubbing.
