LOVERS’ MEETINGS
GIRLS ON ATHENIC WAITED FOR THREE YEARS “Journeys end in lovers’ meetings.” This was certainly true of the Athenic, which arrived from Liverpool last evening. Quite a number of girls were on board who were coming out to be married. Their lovers had come from various parts of New Zealand to meet them, and circled round the ship last evening in motor-launches, waving and shouting to the girls on board. Two of the girls had been engaged for three years and had waited until their future husbands were sufficiently well placed to assure them of good homes. One will go to Nelson and the other to Palmerston North. This morning, when the Athenic berthed, there was a further demonstration on the wharf. The marriages are to take place immediately.
