MORNING WEDDING

CHURCH DECORATED WITH PINK AND BLUE FLOWERS ROBERTSON—-MADILL A very pretty wedding took place at St. Andrew’s Church, Matamata, on Monday morning, when Margaret Kathleen, elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. Madill, Taihoa, was married to Edwin James Robertson, also of Taihoa, elder son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Robertson, Rotorua. The Rev. A. C. Hampton officiated and Miss E. Murray presided at the organ, the church being prettily decorated in shades of pink and blue by girl friends of the bride. The bride, who entered with her father, wore a dainty frock of shellpink georgette and silver lace of ankle-length, and a charming hat of shell-pink and silver lace straw. Her bouquet was of cream dahlias and carnations with pink sweet peas and maidenhair fern. The bridesmaid. Miss Betty Madill, sister of the bride, wore a becoming frock of powder blue georgette, made in early Victorian style, and hat of powder blue silk and lace crinoline straw, flower-trimmed. Her bouquet was of shaded pink flowers. Mr. Eric Robertson, brother of the bridegroom, acted as best man. After the ceremony the bridal party motored to the Okoroire Hot Springs Hotel, where the wedding breakfast | was held. Mrs. Madill, mother of the bride, l wore a navy satin beaute ensemble, I with georgette and lace frock to tone, j and navy bankok hat. She carried a bouquet of lavender scabious and thelictrum. Mrs. Robertson, mother of tlie bridegroom, was gowned in navy silk marocain, relieved with french lace, and a navy hat. She carried a. bouquet of crimson dahlias and maidenhair fern. After the breakfast Mr. and Mrs. E. Robertson left on a motor tour of the North Island, the bride travelling in ; a suit of beech-brown with hat to J match, and fox furs. Their future home will be at “Middlemore,” Taihoa. TWO RENOVATION HINTS To renovate a black satin evening cloak showing signs of age, use a liquid made in the following way: Peel two large potatoes, cut them in slices, and put them in a basin. Cover with a pint of water, add a pinch of salt, and leave all night. Next day sponge the satin on the right side with this liquid, and wipe It lightly with a cloth. Tron the cloak on the wrong side, under a cloth, and it will look equal to new. WOOLLEN CREPE. A light frock made of woollen crepe rather soiled, and therefore shabbylooking, may be treated thus: Put equal quantities of flour and salt in a cool oven to dry thoroughly, after which rub them twice through a fine sieve. The frock, placed upon an old sheet on the table, should be sprinkled well, but lightly, with the mixture, and then rubbed gently with a so£t piece of linen. A good shake out of doors, and a blow upon the line on a windy day, will get rid of the last trace of powder, and the frock will be quite fresh again.
