PINK AND BLUE ORANGE BLOSSOMS

Pink and blue in delicate, pretty .shades were chosen by Aliss Ivy Alarion Davis, the eldest daughter of Airs. E. M. Davis, of Hasty Avenue, for her wedding at the Pitt Street Methodist Church yesterday afternoon to Air. Herbert Saunders, the only son of Air. and Airs. AI. Saunders, of Auckland. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Leonard Dalby. Georgette in a pastel tone of pink formed the dainty bridal gown. It was made in simple fashion, with rows of tiny little tucks running vertically upon the skirt and bodice, and defining the low waistline. An exquisite veil of embroidered tulle fell in the form of a train from a chaplet of orange blossoms, while the beautiful bouquet carried by the bride was of pink and white blossoms. Aliss Winnie Saunders, sister of the bridegroom, acted as chief bridesmaid, wearing a dainty little frock of hyacinth blue crepe de chine trimmed with ruching and ecru lace. A quaint little draped turban of blue and ecru lace made an effective headdress and her bouquet of gold and blue and white flowers lent a dainty finish to her toilette. Aliss Phyllis Davies, sister of the bride, was another charming attendant, and she wore a frock cut on similar lines to the chief bridesmaid’s and expressed in the same tone of hyacinth blue. Her headdress and bouquet were daintily matching accessories. The bridegroom was attended by Air. Harry Shirley as best man. After the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride’s parents, when Airs. Davies received a large number of relatives and friends. GOOD TASTE IN CORRESPONDENCE Formal invitations in the third person should always be answered briefly, and in the third person also, except when they are from quite intimate friends, when a little personal note of acceptance or refusal is better. Informal invitations, on the other hand, must be replied to with equal informality. Stationery of the best quality of Its kind should be used for private correspondence. It is not very good taste to use that of too conspicuous tint and size, but the woman of individuality likes to make her own a special notepaper of some distinctive shade and character. There is much variation and room for personal preference nowadays in the manner in which the address, etc., appears at the top of the sheet. A modern note is to have it reproduced in one’s own handwriting. Letters ought always to be plainly dated, not just with the day of the week, but the month and year. This is particularly important where business correspondence is concerned. Special Paper Required The woman with many business interests should keep special businesslike notepaper for this branch of her correspondence. A subtle fragrance clinging to the sheets and envelope reminiscent of the sweet essence we generally use may be very fascinating, but a letter which gives forth a cheap, strong scent is not a good advertisement of the fastidious tastes of the sender. A stamped and addressed envelope ought to be enclosed in a letter to a complete stranger from whom a reply to some query is desired.
