With Just a Hint of Coquetry February’s Brides are Gowned

Fashion Appoints Picturesqueness and Piquancy as Attending Pages

CURTIS—FERGUSON The pale blue of hyacinths and the faint green of their stems mingled with roses of finest white in the bridal bouquet added to the suggestion of summer-time loveliness that characterised the wedding of Elizabeth (Betty) Ferguson, the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Ferguson, of Pukeatua, Te Awamutu, to Stanley, the second son of Mr. and Mrs. *A. Curtis, of Norton Road, Frankton, when it was celebrated by the Rev. H. G. Gilbert in St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Claudelands, recently. The piquant bride, who was given away by her father, wore a delightful dress of white georgette, the skirt being draped with lioniton lace. A beautiful tulle veil and orange blossoms and an exquisite shower bouquet completed a dainty toilette. She was attended by her sister, Miss Mabel Ferguson, who wore a frock of peach-coloured embossed taffeta with a white crinoline hat trimmed with

flowers and ribbon to match, and carried a bouquet of pink roses, sweet peas and maidenhair fern. The best man was Mr. Leslie Curtis, brother of the bridegroom. After the ceremony the guests assembled at the Haeremai Tea Rooms, where the wedding breakfast was served, and the customary toasts honoured. Mrs. Ferguson, mother of the bride, received her guests in a putty-coloured crepe de' chine dress, with floral overdress and navy hat trimmed with pastel shades to match. Mrs. A. Curtis, bridegroom's mother, wore a dress of black silk marocain with cream vest and a black hat. After the breakfast the newly-mar-ried couple left by car, the bride wearing a cinnamon-coloured embroidered crepe de chine dress with smart tailored coat to match, and hat of soft straw, trimmed with velvet ribbon and flowers to tone. Mr. and Mrs. Curtis’s future home will be in Auckland.
