WANGANUI NOTES

HOLIDAYS IN THE CITY

6 (From "The Post's' Representative.) WANGANUI, January 3. The holidays at Wanganui have been fine but with too much wind. Sunday, New Year's Day, was easily the best, and, as a consequence, all »the beaches within a radius of 40 miles were crowded. At Castlecliff the crowds were greatest, but Monday's wind drove many would-be beach picnickers up-river. All the river excursion steamers were crowded, and there was a constant stream of cars on the river road. Wedding. The Aramoho Methodist Church was decorated in pastelrshaded sweet peas and hydrangeas for the wedding of Elizabeth Audrey, younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. S. Whitlock, Wanganui, to Arnold, elder son of Mr. and Mrs. S. J.. Heath, Wanganui East. The Revs. R. Dudley and F. J. Martin officiated. The bride wore ivory shadow georgette embossed in leaf design, •and mounted over taffeta. The

veil of tulle formed a train, and she carried Christmas lilies and white roses. Misses Beryl Stevens (Palmerston North) and. Doris Goldsbury wore similar frocks in leaf-patterned lilac shadow georgette and carried bouquets to jnatch. Miriam and Antoinette Wilton were flower girls, wearing lemon Swiss organdie. Messrs. A. Blick (Hawera) and S. B. Whitlock attended the bridegroom. A large number of guests were entertained at a reception at the Savage Club Hall, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion.
