Cook Is. Wedding

———♦——— Reception at The Residency

From Our Own Correspondent

Rarotonga, April 28

THE first European wedding for some time took place here on April 7. The contracting parties were Miss Nancy Ayson of Toiro, Otago, and Mr. A. Stevens of Rarotonga.

Miss Ayson came to Rarotonga to work in the field of education, and to the natives and Europeans she has become well known and well liked by all.

The reception was held at the residence of Judge Ayson, the Resident Commissioner, cousin of the bride. The Residency stands on a low knoll in delightful surroundings and commands a fine view. The bride and bridegroom were surely favoured with the best that tropical beauty could offer them.

The bride looked charming in a beautiful frock of white georgette and lace. ... === Mr. G. H. Murray, Director of Agriculture in New Guinea, recently arriv ed in Sydney on leave. ===
