WEDDING BELLS

A wedding of interest to coastal people was celebrated in Holy Trinity Church yesterday afternoon. The contracting parties were Miss Adelaide Winifred (Winnie) Taylor, youngest daughter of the late Eichard Taylor, of Marlborough, and sister of Mrs Butler, of Port Awanui, and Mr Arthur Macorie Manning, Port Awanui, second son of Mr J. S. Manning, of Petone. The Kev. W. Welsh officiated. The bride was given away by Mr C. Butler, and looked charming in a very pretty wedgewood blue dress, tastefully trimmed with white satin pipings and Limerick lace. She wore a gold chain, a present from the bridegroom, and carried a beautiful bouquet. The bride was attended by Misses Goldsmith and Fraser, who were prettily dressed in white muslin and black picture hats, and also wore two handsome gold brooches, which were presents from the bridegroom. Mr Albert Robinson performed the duties of best man. A most sumptuous breakfast was served at the residence of Mrs T. Fraser, Bright street, during which the health of the bride and bridegroom was heartily drunk, the toast being proposed in a few well-chosen words by Mr A. Robinson, and suitably responded to by the bridegroom. The happy couple leave to-morrow morning for Auckland, where they will spend their honeymoon. We join with our readers in wishing them every happiness in the future. The happy couple were the recipients of a large number of valuable presents.

It is absurd that precautions should not be taken to peevent the spread of disease among the Maoris, and through them among Europeans. Several epidemics of disease have, wo believe, been traced to a Maori source.—Taranaki Herald.
