S.E., took place at St. Peter's Church, London, on Wednesday afternoon. The proceedings were quite unconventional in character.

The bride, who was given away by her father, was attired in a semi-Empire cos- tume of white Shantung, with real Chinese lace, and wore a white picture hat trimmed with cream roses and jesamine. She also wore a white feather boa, and. as orna- ment a. diamond and emerald pen- dant (the gift of the bridegroom). Mrs. Richards, the bride's mother, wore a gown of mole-coloured satin, and her hat was trimmed with peach- coloured flowers, green laoe, and feathers. After the ceremony the bridal party went to St. Claire for luncheon. In the evening ,Mr. and Mrs. Richards held a reception in the Balmoral-rooms at the Trocadero, at which nearly 200 guests attended. The bride and bridegroom were present, Mrs. Williams wearing a handsome evening dress of white Oriental satin, covered with an overslnrt of rich old family lace, the bodice swathed and draped with lace. She carried a bouquet of white orchids, orange blossoms, white heather, myrtle, &c., and her coiffure was made up with sprigs of orange blossom. Mrs. Richards's gown was of mauve hand- j painted chiffon, with a bodice of mauve satin and lace, cut square, and she carricd a shower bouquet. The reception was fol-1 lowed by a banquet. Only a few of the bridegroom's friends were present, as iofr. Jay Williams intends to meet his friends at Swansea at an early date. The proceedings were of a most happy description, and partook almost of the nature of a family gathering. A large number of Welsh leaders in London were present. The health of the bride and bride- groom, proposed by Mr. H. O. P. Bovey, was received very enthusiastically, Mr. J. Jay Williams and Mr. P. B. Richa-rds responding in felicitous terms.

I YOUNG GIRL POET. j LINES WRITTEN ON HEARING ST. I THEODORE'S BELL. In looking over the short essays written by the scholars of the Port Talbot Central School the head-master (Mr. James Nicholas) was particularly struck with one written by a little girl named Nelly Owen. He jocularly 'remarked to the scholar, If you continue to write in that strain you will be able to write for the magazines one of these days." The little girl. bearing the encouraging statement in mind, hied herself to the seclu- sion of the wood at the rear of the Port Talbot Cottage Hospital with the intention of gaining inspiration for a short story for a children's column. With her paper and pencil she sat down in silent meditation, when suddenly her reverie was broken by the bell of St. Theodore's Church chiming in the stillness of a beautiful summer's evening. Immediately her poetical nature was touched, and she penned the following lines on the spot:- THE BELL. As I sit 'midst the ferns a-musing, A note falls on my ear; A note that is soft and soothing, A note that is sweet and clear. It speaks of a hopa new-nourished, A hope that is strong and bold; A hope that for ever flourished In a heart that is warm, not coJd. Tis the hope of youth and childhood, A hope that can never die; The hope to do things great and good For our Saviour up on high. But how many answered that notion Made in our early days, To keep a filial devotion, Through all life's narrow ways? Ah! say how many have done thus, For our Savjonr, good and grett; Who give up His life to save us, That we might pass the Gate. There are some o'er earth's wide oceans Who have followed His path and way; But the rest took ambitious notions, And now have gone astray. Aa I sit 'midst the ferns a-thinklng, A note falJs on my ear, A not/3 like xicli wine drinktng- It is to sweet and clear. It thrills round each fern-covered mountain, It thrills through each wooded dell, For the note rising now like a fountain Is the voice of St. Theodore's bell. It bids the weary mortal, Wandering o'er life's main, To look toward that rortal, And take up heart again. It bids him look to Heaven, To that bright homo above, And try his ways to leaven, ¡ And to labour and to love.

ALDERMAN1C KET-ELECTION. CARDIFF PROCEDURE STRICTLY LEGAL. The Town-clerk reported to the Parliamen- tary Committee of the Cardiff Corporation on Wednesday on the election and tenure of I office of the aldermanic bench. Mr. Wheatley stated the Cardiff Corporation in re-electing aldeamein were striotJy carrying out the letter of the law. The corporation might seek Parliamentary powers to alter the existing system, but it was extremely doubt ful whether such a Bill would meet with success, contravening as it would the gene- ral statute law. The best course would be to endeavour to secure united action by local I governing bodies. -i

GIVEN AWAY ABSOLUTELY FREE OF CHARGE A Wonderful Book on Money- Making. Within the last few weeks there has been overwhelming demand for a remarkable book dealing with a subject of absorbing interest, a subject that interests both young ana old, rich and poor alike. This Little volume does not ascend into the realms of visions; on the contrary, it tears aside the curtain* that so often obscures our under- standing of things, and it deals with plain, cold facts. It enlightens the man who is interested and instructs and informs the man who id ignora-nt. It tells of new fields and pastures green, and points-without fear or favour—to where those fields and pastures lie. This is not a book for the library shelf. It is a book to be read, and can be read by the young as well as the old. It will serve a-s a fund of information fcr the former and a source of inspiration to the latter. For every careful, thrifty man or woman it is one of tha books that ar3 essential. One's education is not complete without having read its thrilling and fascinating pages. The subject of money-making by modern methods is fully explained, and. considering the invaluable nature of the information imparted, it is done in such a masterly manner that your interest is at its highest pitch from beginning to end. Nearly two hundred thousand copies of this publication have already been distri- buted, and those who have read it through have sent for copies for their friends. This book, that no ond can read without benefit, will, for a limited period only, be <õent free to all inquirers. There is. of course, no telling how soon it may be impossible to procure further copies, and it wculd. therefore, be unwise to mliss fiueh an opportunity. Write at onc,-tc,-day-&nd you will receive a copy by return post. Simply send your full name and address (a poet-card will do) to the publishers, Messrs. Arnold and Butler (Defpt. 1979), 124, Holborn, London, E.C. The book will be sent you absolutely free of all cost, and you may keep it without incurring any obligation of any kind. wl601
