  Notes	WEDDING A very pretty wedding was solemnised at the Waitahuna Presbyterian Church on Tuesday, April 15, when Miss Eva M. Bateman, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs J. H. Bateman, of "Braemore," Waitahuna, was married to Mr James T. Smith, of Waitahuna. The church was tastefully decorated for the occasion by girl friends of the bride. The Rev. H. Hogg officiated at the ceremony, and Miss Muriel Noble presided at the organ. The bride, who was given away by her father, looked charming in a gown of cream crepe de chine, effectively trimmed with pearls and lace. She wore the customary veil, arranged with spray of orange blossom, and carried a pretty bouquet of white carnations, lilies, and maiden-hair fern. The bridesmaid, Miss Vera L. Bateman, wore a dainty frock of rose pink crepe de chine with head trimmings and black picture hat, and carried a floral bouquet. After the ceremony, a reception was held in Cavmody's Hall, where these guests were entertained by Mr and Mrs Bateman. The bridegroom was attended by Mr Alex. McLachlan as best man. Later Mr and Mrs Smith left for the north, the bride travelling in a navy blue serge costume, trimmed with henna braiding and a hat to match. The young couple's future address will be Waitahuna.
