In Bridal Satin Remuera Girl Weds President of University Students Association THOMPSON—LEE Yesterday afternoon an interesting wedding took place in the Remuera Methodist Church, when Ailsa McPherson, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Percy G. Lee, of Aldred Road, Remuera, was married to Arthur 13. Thompson, the president of the Auckland University College Students’ Association, and third son of Mrs. Thompson, of Herne Ray, and the late Mr. F. A. Thompson, Commissioner of Crown Lands, Nelson. A charming period gown of vellumtinted satin was worn by the bride, who was given away by her father, and married by the Rev. Dr. Laws. From a slenderly-fitting corsage her gown fell in long lines of graceful 1 length and was given added beauty by i long sleeves finishing in mitred cuffs. j A trail of crange blossoms caught at one shoulder repeated the fragrance of her bridal head-dress, which held in place- a flowing veil of brussels net. White jonquils and hyacinths mingled ■ with pastel pink carnations in Che bride’s exquisite sheaf of flowers. Miss Winnie McNickle attended the bride, wearing a delightful frock of gentian blue georgette, trimmed with a silver petalled hem and sprays of dainty flowers embroidered in crystal beads. Her bandeau was of tulle and silver tissue and she carried a sho.ver bouquet of blue delphiniums and pink carnations. The bridegroom was attended by Mr. Edward Massey as best man, and Messrs. Allan Lee, Douglas Lee, Nigel Wilson and Dr. J. C. Andrews were ushers. After the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride’s parents, where Mrs. Lee received a number of guests, wearing an attractive gown of moonmist crepella and a closely-fitting hat to tone. Mrs. Thompson. the bridegroom’s mother, wets wearing a smart ensemble of black satin and a black hat. FAIR—PRITCHARD Tho marriage of Marjory Winifred, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.

During the evening keen interest was maintained . in a number of competitions. The following were the successful competitors: Mr. Tom Alderton, Mr. R. Moody, Mr. Smith and Mr. A. George. WOMEN REGAIN RIGHTS MINISTER TALKS ON FEMINIST MOVEMENT “Woman had to go through a spiritual Calvary before she bought back her lost power and rights,” the Rev. A. M. Niblock told the Women’s Political Association last evening, in an address on “Psychology in Relation to tho Feminist Movement.” Mr. Niblock was discussing the statement that women had a greater singleness of purpose and more imagination than men. “Man became dominant about 6,000 years ago,” he said, “but to-day woman is returning to her own. The feminist movement is evolutionary in process. Woman has a greater super-conscious-ness than man, more imagination—and this moulds the individual. “Although many instincts common to both, sexes, woman frequently reacts to circumstances differently from man. She is less dependent on environment. When she fully realises her creative power, she will make life worth while. With this instinct at the back of the feminist movement, the world can be remade. That is why I would like to see women in Parliament and in public bodies, for woman is essentially constructive and originative. Courage is common to both sexes, but with woman it is defensive, and with man it takes the offensive.” AUXILIARY GIFT PRESENTATION TO INFIRMARY INMATES On behalf of the city branch of the Hospital Auxiliary, Mrs. A. D. Campbell, Mayoress of Auckland, presented six easy chairs to inmates of the Auckland Infirmary on Tuesday afternoon. About 50 members of the Onehunga branch of the auxiliary accepted and passed on the gift. Later, they inspected tho infirmary, the Costley Home and the shelters. The gift was acknowledged by the matron, and Miss Alder stated the thanks of the inmates. The Auckland branch adopted the presentation as a way of recognising the work of the Onehunga women, who have the infirmary under their care.
