Celebrated At Logui Church

From Our Own Correspondent

Salamaua, Sept. 15.

The first wedding to be celebrated in the Lutheran Mission Church at

Logui, Salamaua, took place in Sep-

tember, when Miss Anne Smail, daughter of the late Mr. R. Smail,

civil engineer, Federated Malay

States, and of Mrs. H. Smail, “Guna-

goola,” Hunter’s Hill, N.S.W., was

married to Mr. K. W. Nettleship, son of Mr. E. Nettleship, headmaster,

Randwick High School, Sydney.

Rev. F. Bishop performed the sacred ceremony.

The church was very prettily decorated by the natives of Logui Village.

The bride, who was given away by District Officer Mr. E. Feldt, wore a frock of white organdi in the very newest mode, simplicity being its keynote. She wore shoes, a velvet sash and picture hat of a gorgeous shade of new blue.

Mrs. R. Gurney was matron of honour, wearing a frock of blue shantung and large fawn hat.

Mr. Norman Spence was best man.

After the ceremony the happy couple received the guests at Salamaua Hotel, where a very enjoyable wedding dinner was given.

The guests included Dr. and Mrs. Broom, Mr. and Mrs. Drayton, Mr. and Mrs. Weston, Mr. and Mrs Macgilvery, Mr. and Mrs. Sadler (Sydney), Mesdames Innes, Binnie, Roberts, Cochran, Misses Field and Prielie, Messrs. Taylor, Holden, Samson, Gurney, Johns, Smith, Clarke, Russell, Knight, Sharp. ... ===
