WELLINGTON GIRL IS MARRIED IN FROCK OF VICTORIAN STYLE

MEIKLE —BUCKMASTER A pretty wedding took place on Saturday evening at Wesley Church, Taranaki Street, Wellington, when Edith, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Buckmaster, Haitaitai, was married to Maurice, elder son of Captain and Mrs. H. Meikle, Auckland. The Rev. T. R. Richards performed the ceremony. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a gown in early Victorian style of beige pink lace, the skirt of two frills being draped long at the back. Her tulle veil formed a train and was fastened to the head with a narrow band of silver ribbon, finished at the back with orange blossom buds, faho carried a bouquet of cream roses. Her bridesmaids, were Miss Phyllis Tanner (chief) and Miss Olga Jackson (Auckland). They wore frocks of blue figured chiffon, the full skirts falling long at the back, with waist belts of blue taffeta finished in centre back with posies. The tight-fitting bodices were sleeveless and they wore blue shoes to match. Their hats of blue straw were trimmed with pink velvet ribbon and they carried sheafs of pink roses. Patricia Buckmaster, niece of the bride, was flower girl in palest blue frilled net, with early Victorian bonnet and shoes to tone. She carried a small basket of pink rosebuds. The bridegroom was attended by Mr. C. Chapman as best man and Mr. J. Meikle as groomsman. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Buckmaster held a reception at the Adelphi Cabaret, where a large number of guests were present. Mrs. Buckmaster received, wearing a gown of nigger brown georgette, beaded in bronze, with a fawn bangkok straw hat trimmed in the newest ostrich feathers of orange and brown tonings. ON WARM EVENINGS Sandflies and mosquitoes are a pest on summer evenings when sitting in the garden. Oil of lavender is a pleasant means of keeping them at bay. Just a few drops should be rubbed on neck, face, wrists and ankles. A room in which there are a number of flies will be cleared quickly if some oil of lavender is put into a bowl of hot water. This is particularly desirable in the room of an invalid where freedom from summer pests is essential. The fragrance of the lavender is also very refreshing, and is nearly always liked.
