ORANGE BLOSSOMS GRIFFITHS—KNOX A charming wedding which caused much interest took place at All Saints’ Church on Wednesday evening, when Miss Constance Knox, second daugh-

ter of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Knox, Herne Bay, was married to Mr. Leonard Griffiths, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Griffiths, Mount Eden. The ceremony was conducted by Canon F. W. Young. The bride entered the church on the arm of her father. Her graceful frock was fashioned on artistic lines with long-waisted bodice of ivory panne velvet, with full skirt of georgette with deep velvet hem. Her dainty veil of brussels lace, surmounted by a wreath of orange blossom formed a graceful train. She carried a bouquet of white cyclamen, sweet peas and maidenhair fern. The bridesmaids, Miss Marjorie Knox and Miss Dorothy Griffiths, wore frocks of delphinium blue crepe de chine, appliqued with flowers in rosecoloured chiffon velvet and wore headdresses of silver tissue. Mr. Bruce Lawson acted as best man, and Mr. Alfred Clist as groomsman. Over 100 guests attended the reception. Mrs. Russell Knox received the guests, wearing a stylish frock of black georgette over powder blue, with smart hat to match and carried a bouquet of spring flowers. Mrs. Arthur Griffiths wore a handsome French frock of pleated black georgette with Oriental fringe and smart crinoline hat and carried a shower bouquet of pink cyclamen. Miss Phyllis Knox wore a dainty frock of rose pink crepe de chine. The bridal couple were the recipients of many handsome gifts.

In spite of the bad weather a great number assembled, and items contributed by Mrs. Fahey, Mrs. Osborne, Mrs. Henderson, Mr. Moffitt and Mr. Jones were much appreciated. The music was supplied by Mrs. Burns, M.rs. Henderson, Mr. Turner and Mr. De Willomoff. Mr. Henderson and Mr. Hammond proved efficient M’s.C. for the dancing during the evening. A very dainty supper was provided by the ladies of the district, and during supper the Rev. Hobday, vicar of St. Columba’s Church, expressed his appreciation of all those who had worked so hard to make the evening such a decided success.

lishing a branch of the Plunket Society in their town, as a result of the liberal support rendered by a section of the Hikurangi public. The funds already collected have been utilised to provide furniture, etc., for the Plunket rooms for the comfort and convenience of mothers and their babies, and there are still further calls being made on the public to raise an additional sum to provide permament rooms, as the premises occupied are only of a temporary nature. With the object of securing further financial assistance, several willing helpers have inaugurated a number of guessing competitions, and in each case a prize is offering. A start has been made with this latest public appeal for funds and is meeting with no small measure of success. The entrance fee in each case has been reduced to a minimum, and there is little doubt that those conducting competitions will receive whole-hearted public support. LEAGUE OF MOTHERS The Bayswater-Belmont branch of the League of Mothers held its monthly meeting yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Victor Macky, in a very able and instructive address on the “Psvchology of the Nursery Rhyme,” traced the origin of the rhymes back to ancient times and showed how they portrayed various emotions, and that their hidden meaning is often of historical and prophetic significance.
