. 'the odd spectacle of a fashionablyattired bridal party pushing through dense crowds in Queen Street was witnessed during the holiday season (says the Auckland “Star”). Hundreds of motor vehicles were passing up and down, and there were frequent trafficjams, but nothing very prolonged till a row of vans and motor-cars got stuck in the bottle-neck ilist below Victoria Street. Within a few minutes the upstream of cars was at a standstill, scores of vehicles having their progress impeded. Among them were two big taxis, sporting white steamers. Passing pedestrians who looked into the illuminated interiors saw an embarrassed bride and bridegroom, and their entourage of maids and grooms. Apparently time was precious, since the wnole party decided to alight and go forward on foot. Gathering up her silver skirts, the bride stepped out or the slushy street and into the drizzling rain, picked her steps through puddles, and, with her husband and escorts, began to push through the crowd. All the world loves a lover, and surprised shoppers made way for the party, while women and girls passed sympathetic remarks.
