ORANGE BLOSSOMS

KNOX—MULLER A very pretty wedding took place on June 18 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Te Kuiti, when Florence, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Muller, of Te Kuiti, was married to Mr. C. Knox, by the Rev. Father Eccleton. The bride entered the church on the arm of her father, and looked charming in a frock of ivory georgette trimmed with silver lace, and a bridal veil and orange blossoms. She carried a shower bouquet. The Misses Ivy and Jean Knox, sisters of the bridegroom, who acted as bridesmaids, were daintily dressed in mauve and pink crepe de chine with black picture hats. Little Miss Gough, cousin of the bride, made a pretty flower girl in a dress of pale green crepe de chine with black hat. The bride’s mother wore a coat frock of fawn gabardine. Messrs. M Knox and H. Muller acted as best man and groomsman respectively. After the ceremony the guests were entertained at the Carlton Tea Rooms, after which the happy couple left by the North train on their honeymoon, the bride wearing a henna toned sedan cloth costume with hat to match. WATERS—McMAHON Cloth of silver composed the beautiful frock worn by Isabel McMahon, the second daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. E. McMahon, of Auckland, when she was married on Wednesday at the Church of the Sacred Heart to Philip Waters, the second son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Waters, of Auckland. A long veil of exquisitely embroidered tulle fell in graceful folds over her attractive silver gown, and formed a dainty train. She carried an ivory prayer book, the gift of the officiating minister, the Rev. W. J. O’Doherty. Miss Vera Waters attended the bride, wearing a charming frock of powder 4blue taffetas, with a dainty tulle headdress, and carrying a fragrant bouquet of violets and maidenhair fern. Mr. Sydney Waters, a brother of the bridegroom, acted as best man, and the bride was given away by Mr. Raymond Murphy. Mauve and gold tones predominated in the delightful decorations at Nairn’s Tea Rooms in Road, where a reception was held after the ceremony, when the guests were received by Mrs. Waters, the mother of the bridegroom, who wore a handsome gown of black satin carreau and a becoming hat trimmed with a black osprey. When the bride and groom left latter for a wedding tour, the former woTc a smart ensemble suit of wine-berry repp, with a wine-shaded hat of velour, and American opossum furs. "DOOR-MATS” The Victorian house was lavish with door-mats; all over it they abounded.. Sometimes they bore a neat entreaty: “Please Use Me.” No one was deeply interested in the door-mats; even the house-wife of that day, burdened with a surfeit of furnishments, seems to have been indifferent about them. The Victorian house had other doormats—human, feminine ones. If it was a model house, with a model family to inhabit it, its “females,” as they were termed, were duly door-matlike to the men. But times have changed; houses have fewer door-mats; many have none. And the same with the families in our houses; if any count doormats among their numbers, they will probably be male ones! So sensible! The best advice that can be given to any modern woman is “whatever else you may be, don’t be a door-mat.” Be yourself, be kind, but for goodness’ sake, not servile. It does no one any good to trample on you, and it must be unpleasant for you. The age of door-mats has passed; the modern world has no use for them, with rare exceptions. And it is unsafe ever to consider oneself a rare exception. If when making tomato sauce the pulp is passed through an ordinary flour-sifter instead of through a colander there will be a great saving of time and energy without detracting in any way from the flavour of the sauce.
