BROWNE—TAYLOR

Eileen Myrtle, the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Taylor, of Auckland, was a prettily-dressed bride when she was married at St. MatChurch on Thursday evening to Richard Tracy, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. R. UI. Browne. The ceremony was conducted by Canon Grant Cowen and the bride was given away by her father. Mr. Kenneth Bawdcn attended the groom as best man. An early Victorian frock, of ivory satin beaute, was chosen by the bride, a close-fitting bodice, with a deep oval front, revealed an inset vest of exquisite silk net, silver-encrusted lace. The bouffant skirt was ankle length, the sides being ruched and held out with cords, and silk net lace was introduced again at the hemline with a deep petalled effect. A silver lace train, lined with ivory triple georgette, was attached to the shoulders with orange blossom and tiny leaves, and a beautifully embroidered silk net veil was worn, thrown back from the face and caught with a chaplet of orange blossom, a cluster of buds falling to each shoulder. A shower bouquet of white carnations, s\\;eet pea and palest pink cyclamen was carried, from which fell streamers of tulle. The bride was attended by Miss Beryl Edwards as bridesmaid, and Mrs. A. A. Cross, only sister of the bride,

as matron of honour. They were dressed in picture frocks of cyclamen and leaf green taffeta respectively, the skirts being gathered softly on to a fitting bodice and having deep appliqued hems of silver lace. Tulle to tone with the frocks was lightly swathed round the shoulders and caught with a dainty posy on the left shoulder. Silver shoes and stockings, and silver lame hats with upturned brims of lace and shower bouquets in tonings of apricot and cyclamen completed their charming ensembles. At a reception held afterwards in the Gaiety Hall, Surrey Crescent, the bride’s mother received her guests in & smart frock of black silk marocain, embroidered with rose, blue and gold, and a small black satin hat, finished with ospreys and gold ornament. A bouquet of anemones and cyclamen was carried. The bridegroom’s mother wore an ensemble of black georgette with large medallions of Paris lace, a black picture hat finished with ospreys, and carried a bouquet of violets. The hall was decorated with cyclamen and green streamers, and bowls of daffodils, cyclamen and Iceland poppies.
