ROBERTS—PARK.

Very cordial and kindly interest, was roused by the ceremony celebrated at St. Mary’s Church, Merivale, when Joy Baines, only daughter of Mr and Mrs W. G. Roberts, Papanui road, was married to David Maxwell, fourth son of Mr and Mrs S. M. Park, of Roslyn, Dunedin. Spring flowers and graceful palms lent unconventional beauty to the church for the wedding, at which Archdeacon P. B. Haggitt officiated. Appropriate music was played by Mr Davis Hunt

The bride’s distinctive little frock was daintily fashioned of deep bois de rose French crepe de chine, with fitting sleeves to the wrist. Fine pleating accentuated the straight-hanging lines, and was confined by a wide inset shoulder yoke of deep ecru lace, which finished as a panel falling to the hem at the back and front. • The low waist was outlined by an inset band of the same lace, quaintly centred by a narrow crepe de chine girdle. Her hat of Swiss crinoline straw to match was banded in velvet caught with a - single vivid rose on the brim, and her fragrant bouquet was of cream freesias, with touches of pink deftly intermingled. Mr Roberts gave away his daughter. Miss Annette Brown (Mt. Thomas) and Miss Dorothy Compton (Methven) as her attendant maids, were frocked in heavy crepe de chine of a cameo tint, toning artistically with the bridal frock. Their bodices, pin-tucked at the shoulders, were finished with long sleeves and vestees of beige georgette; the collars were lightly tubked, and the fullness of the skirts was prettilly held by smocked points below the waistline, a group of fine tucks showing at the hem of each. Their hats of beige crinoline straw were finished with shaded velvet bands, and they carried dainty primrose posies. The duties of best man were undertaken by Mr E. Reed, of Oamaru, and Mr lan Glendinning, of Dunedin, was groomsman. Guests later reassembled to offer their good wishes to the bride and groom at the Winter Garden, where a pleasant reception was held. The frock worn by Mrs Roberts, the bride’s mother, was of fine navy repp, with loose pleated side panels falling from heavily-embroidered pockets, bauds of the same embroidery in cyclamen, sowing on the collar and Tight-fitting sleeves, and the coloring being repeated in her bouquet of cyclamen bloom. Her hat of black was banded in velvet. Mrs Park, the bridegroom’s mother, wore an attractive gown of black crepe de chine, with her hat of petunia shaded panne velvet trimmed with a deep floral band to tone, and carried a bouquet of violets and anemones. The bride subsequently travelled in a smartly-tailored suit of rose-beige tweed closely patterned in deep pink, and a small felt hat of the latter shade.
