A PRETTY WEDDING.

MOORE—JEN KS.

A wedding, which created considerable local interest was celebrated in All Saints’ Church yesterday afternoon, when one of Foxtoo’s most popular young ladies in the person of Miss Jenks, only daughter ot our esteemed townspeople Mr and Mrs F. E. Jenks, was united in holy matrimony to Mr A. S. Moore, of Eketahuna, and eldest sou of Mr F. G. Moore, of Pahiatua. The interior of the church was charmingly decorated with arches of greenery and garlands along the aisle, and above the bridal party was suspended a beautiful floral bell. The decorations were carried out by Mr Collins, assisted by members of the choir and friends of the bride. Before the bridal party arrived the seating accommodation in the church was taxed to its utmost and a number had to remain outside the building. The bride entered the church accompanied by her father, charmingly attired in a bridal dress of cream crepe de cheue trimmed with silk and real Maltese lace (the latter the gilt of her brother, Mr L. Jenks, at present in England), set off with the orthodox veil aud orange blossoms aud carried a beautiful bridal bouquet. The bride was attended by her cousin, Miss Ethel Carter (Palmerston N.) attired in shell pink charmeuse and violet velvet hat with pink feather ruche, and two prettily attired little maids, viz., Bonnie Jenks (neice) and Kathleen Hornblow dressed in pale blue satin coatees and white muslin frocks and pale satin hats. The maids carried pretty bouquets. Mr Percy Jenks, of the Wireless Corps attached to the Tenth Reinforcements, officiated as best man. The ceremony was performed by the vicar, Rev. W. Raine, who delivered an appropriate address on the sacredness of marriage. The service was fully choral. Mr S. B. Collins presided at the organ and as the party left the church played the “Wedding March.” The bridal party was showered with rice and confetti as they entered the cars. About 50 relatives aud guests were subsequently entertained at breakfast at Mr Perreau's rooms, where the usual toasts were honoured.

The bride’s mother was dressed in a becoming dove grey costume with floral toque to match ; Mrs F. Moore (bridegroom’s mother) grey costume, black hat with black and white plumes; Mrs Carter (Palmerston N.) purple crepe de chene and hat to correspond ; Mrs AIL Jenks, cream cloth costume and cream felt hat; Mrs Dawson (Eketahuna) heliotrope silk poplin frock, black velvet and mauve silk hat ; Mrs Coogau cream costume, black velvet hat with cream trimmings; Mrs Cameron (New Plymouth), navy crepe de cheue, floral trimmings, black hat.

The bride’s travelling dress was a biscuit coloured cloth costume, saxe blue ruffle, trimmings to match and smart black velvet hat and sequin birds en suite. The flowers for the. bouquets were the gift of Mrs A. S.Easton. The gilts came from far and near, a testimony to the high esteem in which the bride aud groom are held. The bridegroom’s present to the bride was a handsome spray brooch aud to the bridesmaids a gold bangle and brooches.

Mr and Mrs Moore left by motor for Wellington and Napier where the honeymoon will be spent, alter which they will take up their residence in Eketahuna. In common with the Foxton public we extend our best wishes to the happy couple.

seemed ilkeiy that he would be called uu. to go, ami under the circumstances it was very irritating to witness to be supplanted by a man who was said to be the son oi an alien. Witness had told Warrington that he could call iu Ur Maudl it ho liked. lie denied that he had told Warrington not to call in Dr Mamll, as they were lighting Dr Mamll. lie Lad not said lUey were all at war with Ur Maud! because he was a Herman. lie did not say Dr Maud! did nut understand a ease of that kind. lie had no intention of easting a slur on Dr Muudl’s reputation or professional ability. The slur was on himself. He did not think at the time that Dr Mamll was a Herman, He was in Hokitika two years ago ami had been informed that Ur Maudl’s father was an Austrian brewer. When ho came to I'oxton ho kucw r Dr Maud! was not a Herman. He did not know Hr -Maudl. 'Warrington had telephoned him on Tuesday morning after Mamll s cull. \\ itness had said, "You don’t suppose that the medicine given last night cured your wife.” Witness had not referred to their previous conversation. He had examined the specimen of membrane he had taken home Horn Warrington’s and found it swarming with bacilli of diphtheria. He had handled -1000 cases of diphtheria and hud been trained by lSl [' llll( ’ 1 Wright for eight months. Dr V. right heeded the world of bacteriological research. , By Mr fcjkorrctt: He had diagnosed thu case lis primary diphtheria of t ic* larynx. He had told tire husband about it, ami had told Mr Warrington be had better semi the children aw a}. He had not told Mr Warrington not to go down town. It was no business of his. lie had told him not IT IM people iu the house, but lie did not think ho had told them how dangerous it was. He had informed the Health Department on the 2btk. .He did not tell Mrs Warrington she had diphtheria. Diphtheria was not one of the most serious discuses known, and did not require continual observation. The disease was not regarded as serious when treated with antitoxin. Mr Skcrrctt: “This is the most extraordinary evidence 1 ever heard.” This completed the evidence and His Honour reserved his decision.
