OPOTIKI WEDDING

A FRILLED FROCK ROBERTS—DE RINZY WALKER On Saturday last, St. Stephen’s Church. Opotiki, was the scene of a quiet wedding, when Annie Mary, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. De Rinzy Walker, of Raukokore, East Coast, became the wife of Albert Edward Surtees, second son of Mr. and Mrs. G. Roberts, of South Shields, County Durham, England. The bride, who was given away by her father was; charmingly frocked in ivory georgette, with a graceful skirt of tiny gathered frills, and tight-fitting bodice’ finished with pearls. She wore a pretty picture hat of palest lemon, with tiny lace brim softening the outline. Her bouquet was a beautiful sheaf of St. Joseph lilies. Miss Ivy Walker, sister of the bride, who attended as bridesmaid, looked very charming in a dainty frock of apple-green taffeta, with overskirt of tulle, adorned with tiny scalloped frills. She wore a drooping white picture hat, trimmed with pale lemon flowers. Her bouquet was of deep yellow marigolds and lemontinted daisies. Mr. A. Innes Kelly ably carried out the duties of best man. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. E. Draper. * After the ceremony a reception was held at the residence .of Mrs. L. Kelly, “Waitangi.” The tables were daintily decorated with blue and palest pipk delphiniums. Miss B. Kelly, who received the guests, wore a pretty frock of lavender taffeta and a white picture hat. Later, Mr. and Mrs. Roberts left on a short honeymoon. Mrs. Roberts travelled in a delphinium blue coat, with deep fur-trimmed cuffs, and a large felt hat to tone. RIBBON TO THE RESCUE If you cannot afford to have everything new for your holiday trousseau, don’t despair, for you can smarten up any oldish garment and give it dis- < tinction by means of a few yards of | ribbon. For a silk dress and scarf, or a woollen jumper and scarf, all you need is sufficient Petersham ribbon to make a three-coloured tab to complete the neckline of your frock and to border the ends of your scarf. Don’t forget to include the colour I of your hat in your ribbon scheme, and to seam the ribbons together first. To add a note of distinction to your beret, buy 1 yard lengths of Petersham ribbon in three or four shades to match the stripes in your scarf, and attach the gay little tab to the top of your beret.
