Wallis, Bushy Knoll, Hangaroa, and John, only son of Mr. Plunket and the late Mrs. Plunket, Christchurch, was quietly solemnised in St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church,' Cobden street, cn Monday morning, in a setting of spring flowers, Iceland poppies, stocks and roses predominating in the artistic decorative scheme.

The ceremony was performed by :he Rev. A. J. H. Dow.

The bride looked smart in a bluishgrey tailored suit, worn with a small felt hat to match and a fur cape accented with a spray of lily-of-the-valley. After tile ceremony a small reception, to which only relatives and intimate friends were invited, was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Wellborne, “The White Cottage” Kelvin road.

The drawing-room was most artistically decorated with roses, Iceland poppies and stocks, intermingled with wonderfully-tinted copper beech foliage, and here morning tea was served and the customary toasts were honoured.

Mrs. Wallis, mother of the bride, was wearing a twilight blue tailored suit ornamented with a shoulder spray of pink roses, and a small black hat finished with an eye-veil.
