McKenzie —Steel Scarlet and White Decorative Scheme A pretty wedding was solemnised ill St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Cobden street, last Thursday evening, when Molly Doreen, younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Steel, Childers road, Gisborne, was married to Finley Fergus, younger son of Mr. and Mrs. F.

The church had been decorated in a charming colour scheme of scal'let and white, cherry blossom and nemesia being used with artistic effect. The bride, who was escorted by her father, wore an exquisite frock of white taffetas designed with a highpeaked neckline and long sleeves pointed over the hand. A narrow belt, fastened with a pearl buckle, defined the waist, and the flared skirt was cut with a long train. Her lovely veil of Brussels lace was caught across the front of the head with white gardenias, and sandals of white plaited satin were worn with stockings to tone. She carried a trailing bouquet of arum lilies. The bride’s only ornament was a necklace of Richelieu pearls.

A SUGGESTION FOR THE DAVENTRY ANNOUNCER! “This is London calling!” The familiar phrase in the dulcet tones of tho 8.8. C. announcer awoke eager expectation in ho hearts of a certain household recently, who settled themselves to absorb the latest news trom Daventry. But, alas for expectations! The announcer. breaking the best traditions of tho 8.8. C., interrupted the session with a short, but sharp coughing spasm. Whereupon ‘‘Nine-year-old’ remarked —“He should have some ‘Baxters,’ nnimmie!’ 1 Baxters Lung Preserver stops a cough in tho shortest time. Quickly it lifts phlegm off the chest, allays irritation, and clears away huskiness. Its penetrating properties clear bronchial tubes, and a tow regular doses, with the ordinary common sense precautions, quickly seo the end of a most persistent cough. “Baxters” is safe for all ages. Serve as directed in water for young children. No other remedy has the unique tonic action that makes “Baxters” so valuable.
