TURNBULL— BURNS On Thursday evening, at 7 p.m., the Holy Trinity Church, Otahuhu, was the scene of an interesting and pretty wedding, when Eileen Nancy, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. lfredrick Burns, of Park Road, Otahuhu, was married to John Shirley, son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Turnbull, of Panmure Road, Otahuhu. The bride, who was given away by her - father, wore a charming gown of ivory charmeuse, with a tiered skirt of cobweb lace flouncing, finished on hip with sprays of orange blossom; over this fell a beautiful honiton lace veil, held in place by a coronet of orange blossom, and forming a train. An exquisite shower bouquet completed her toilette. Miss J.

THE LURE OF THE LAMP “Now tKat there is such a cult of severely plain rooms,” explained the distinguished decorator, “there is a great demand for lamps which will combine the decorative with the practical role.” He showed me a number of table lamps which, save for flat bases, were practically spherical in form. One of the most effective presented a surface composed entirely of a mosaic of small squares of mirror glass, in tones of amber, sapphire and silver. Bristol glass, in green or blue, also globular in form, made other charming lamps, the circular parchment shades beinr tinted to match. There were some specially large examples for seUin aloft on pedestals formed from the carved columns of antique four-poster beds. One very striking standard lam; was fashioned from a garden pedestal of reconstructed stone (meant origially for a sundial), bearing aloft an alabaster vase wherein was concealed the electric bulb. The alabaster proved sufficiently transparent to give a mellow glow, lovely for a music or dance room. Then I saw a velvet-covered standard lamp, made from one of the whitewood standards usually sold for lacquering. The material was so shaped, stretched and glued that it fitted without a crease or pucker. A heavy bullion fringe was fixed over the little bosses on the stem and headed with metal galon. Similar fringe adorned the severely simple shade of transparent skin that accompaned the lamp.

LLOYD—DOUGLAS The marriage took place at the Alt. Eden Presbyterian Church on Thursday evening of Miss Edith Marion Douglas, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Douglas, of Mount Eden, to Mr. Neville Gwilliam Lloyd, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Lloyd, also of Mount Eden. The Rev. L. H. Hunt performed the ceremony. The bride, who entered the church on the arm of her father, wore a bouffant frock of pale pink taffeta, made with a tight corsage of talfeta, and an overskirt composed of flounces of pink tulle, dipping at the back. A large silver tissue bow, with one end falling to the ground in the form of a side train, was arranged at the waist. Her embroidered pink tulle veil was caught to the head with a bandeau of silver tissue and tiny pink rosebuds. She carried a shower bouquet of palest pink sweet peas and car nation s. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Dorothy Douglas, whose frock was of ciel blue georgette and lace, also carrying out the uneven hemline. Around her head she wore a bandeau of silver tissue, finished at one side with a large pink rose. Her bouquet was of blue delphiniums. Air. Ray Grove was best man.

After the wedding the guests adjourned to the Alount Eden Tea Kiosk, where Mrs. J. K. Douglas received her guests in a frock of beige georgette and lace, with which she wore a black hat trimmed with wallflowers and beige velvet ribbon. The bridegroom's mother, Mrs. Wm. Lloyd, wore a navy blue crepe de chine ensemble, with hat to tone.

PARTY FOR BRIDE The women members of the staff of the Morrinsville District High School entertained Miss Lorna Skinner, who has resigned her position to be married shortly, to a pretty and enjoyable afternoon on Thursday. iviiss Skinner, who has been a popular member of the school’s staff for three years, was the recipient of a handsome pieUe of pyrex ware. The pupils of Standard I. presented Miss Skinner with a pretty crystal vase.

SAVOURY TOAST AND COFFEE A DAINTY MEAL IN A FEW MINUTES Better than an elaborate supper In a restaurant is the little meal of sav-oury-toast and coffee that you can prepare yourself on your return from the theatre. There are several useful gadgets which will enable you to make the toast and keep It hot with a minimum of trouble. One is the weighted toaster that stands In front of the stove; it has a hinged and adjustable arm that may be fixed to hold the bread at just the right angle; it cannot upset itself, and it may be turned to present the othe side of the slice to the heat when necessary. Then there is the new expanding trivet that can be extended sufficiently to take several plates and cups for warming. It is made of copper, in trellis form. Toasting forks, too, have been greatly improved of late. Instead of piercing the bread —and generally breaking it—they clip it firmly, and can be swung over when the one side is browned and the other is ready to he toasted. Some of the newest stoves have trivets at the sides. When not required for keeping things hot, they unobtrusively slide away out of sight. Some of them are so fixed that a kettle of water may be boiled upon them, if need be. Little fitments to hold four pieces of bread for toasting are now to be had for use with oil and spirit stoves. These are most useful for those who live in districts where coal is difficult to secure and gas is not available.
