On the 3rd April, St. Stephen's Church, Penrith, was the scene of a pretty, but quiet, wedding, when Miss Constance Margaret, eldest daughter of Mr. H. J. F. Neale, of Penrith, was married to Mr. H. A. Stanley Holliday, eldest son of Rev. H. T. and Mrs. Holliday, of Bexley (late of Penrith). The ceremony was performed by the father of the bridegroom; assisted by the Rev S. George Brown and Montague Hinsby. The church was tastefully decorated by girl friends of the bride. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore cream Brussels net over net ; her dainty Limerick lace veil was lent by Mrs. W. Meredith Holliday. The shower bouquet (a handsome one)and gold wristlet watch were the gift of the bridegroom. Miss Alice Neale, acting as bridesmaid, wore a ptetty dress of white voile and malines lace, with black velvet hat ; her bouquet of pink carnations and Nellie Stewart bangles were the bridegroom's gift. Mr. Partridge acted as best man. The guests were afterwards entertained at Nepean House. Later, the happy couple left for Sydney, the bride wearing a mole gabadine coat and skirt, with black velour hat. The bride and bridegroom are amongst the estimable number of our compatriots who have practically served the interests of their country and Empire at the seat of war. Mrs Holliday (nee Miss C M Neale) was a nursing sister on the first Australian Hospital Ship, 'The Grantala,' which accompanied the troopships and Australian Navy on the New Guinea Expedition. Mrs Holliday was present at Rabaul shortly after the capture of that important German possession by the Australian troops. On the dismantling of the 'Grantala,' after some twelve months' service as an Hospital Ship, Mrs Holliday, with the other members of nursing staff, received her discharge. About 18 months ago she again offered her services, and was despatched to Egypt, where she took a most busy and assiduous part in nursing wounded Gallipoli heroes and others for some 12 months. She was, later, sent to England, where she rendered estimable service in various hospitals for some months, and returned to Sydney by the Hospital Ship 'Kanowna' on 17th April. Mr Holliday, who enlisted for active service about two years ago, was first sent to Egypt, where he underwent a severe training; and afterwards went to England to complete his training ere leaving for the front. He took part in a number of strenuous operations against the enemy on French soil, and was severely wounded in the arm. After receiving treatment in England he was sent to Australia again, landing in Sydney some two months ago. Mr Holliday later received his discharge, as also did Mrs Holliday.

PRESENTATION TO MR. & MRS. STANLEY HOLLIDAY.
At conclusion of Sergeant Saunders' recruiting address at the unveiling ceremony on last Saturday afternoon, Mayor announced that he had a very [leasing duty to perform, viz., the presentation of a handsome hanging clock to Mr and Mrs Stanley Hollidav by the citizens of Penrith. Private Holliday had seen considerable service at the front, and had been invalided home. He had recently been blessed in having selected as his life partner a young lady - erst Miss Connie Neale- who was most deservedly liked and esteemed by all who had the privilege of her acquaintance. As Nurse Neale, Mrs Holliday had been attached to the nursing staff of the Australian A.M.C, for some considerable time, and on returning to Australia her marriage with Mr Holliday had been consummated. On behalf of the citizens, he offered Mr and Mrs Holliday -warmest felicitations on their marriage. The Mayor then read the inscription on the clock, which was follows: -'Mr and Mrs Holliday in appreciation of valued services at the front. From the Citizens of Penrith, 19th May, 1917- In handing over the clock to Mr and Mrs Holliday the Mayor said he knew they would accept the gift not for its intrinsic worth, but in the spirit in which it was presented by the citizens. (Applause). Rev M G Hinsby (who Was called upon by the Mayor to say a few words) said he considered it a privelege and pleasure to be associated in the presentation made to their valued friends, Mr and Mrs Holliday that afternoon. They appreciated the valiant spirit which had prompted Mr Holliday to enlist and brave the perils of war, and the patriotic and sacrificial manner in which Mrs Holliday (then Nurse Neale) had applied herself to the all-important nursing arm of the military service. Mrs Holliday was the first Penrithian he had met, in fact, and that was during his sojourn in a Metropolitan Hospital, and he had a kindly remembrance of her tender ministrations on that occasion. Mr Holliday was the son of one of his (Mr Hinsby's) clerical predecessors in Penrith, whose memory was held in benediction locally. He was indeed glad to take part in that function and wished the recipients every happiness in life. (Applause). Mr Holliday said he felt some what nervous, that being his maiden speech as a benedict before a public audience. (Laughter and applause). But like shell shock and such things, he hoped to survive it. In married life, as some of them knew, presentations were generally mutual belongings of man and wife; but he took it with great pleasure, that that gift— the clock— was intended chiefly for his wife, and he thanked the donors specially on that account, and for his own share in their kindness. The presentation had been somewhat in the nature of a surprise, as, until they had mounted the platform, neither Mrs Holliday or himself were aware of the intention of the kindly donors. He was sure Mrs Holliday's feeling's, as his own, were those of extreme pleasure and great appreciation, and they would treasure the handsome clock, and keep the memory of that splendid gathering through life. He returned his best thanks on behalf of Mrs. Holliday and himself to the Mayor and citizens for their valued gift, which would be esteemed as one (of their (Mr and Mrs Holliday's) most precious household gods. (Applause). The Mayor congratulated Mr Holliday on the excellent, form in which he had acquitted himself in his maiden speech, and further observed that he thought the citizens were honored in making the presentation to the very, worthy recipients, both of whom had so nobly fulfilled their duty in the war zone. 'Mr and Mrs Holliday received the congratulations of many friends are leaving the theatre.

MR. J. WESLEY TO MISS HILDA NEWPORT.
An interesting wedding between an Anzac and an Army Sister of the Imperial Forces took place in Melbourne, on Saturday, 30th November. The bridegroom was Mr. John Wesley, of "Eccles," Kyabram, and the bride, Miss Hilda Newport, younger daughter of the late Mr. J. E. Newport, of Flinders Lane and "Lydswood," Mont Albert. The bride wore ivory marquisette, with veil and orange blossoms, and carried a shower bouquet of white roses and carnations. She was given away by her guardian, Mr. W. H.Flood. The service was choral, the officiating clergy-man being the Rev. John Kirkhope. The bridesmaid was Miss Vera Newport, cousin of the bride, who wore a pretty apricot frock of crepe de chene, and a quaint brooch—a Kookaburra set with pearls, the gift of the bridegroom. She carried a handsome shower bouquet of apricot shaded flowers, with long self-coloured ribbon streamers. Mr. Dudley Newport, of FairfieldPark, Berwick (brother of the bride), was best man. The bride's mother wore a frock of grey chiffon taffeta, with handsome black and grey beaded tunic and black picture hat. After the ceremony the breakfast was held at the Blue Bird, Collins-street. The couple are spending their honeymoon at Portsea, and later will reside at "Eccles."

Yet another romance that culminated in awedding a couple of weeks ago, has beenbrought about by war conditions. The happy man is an Englishman who was in Australia when war broke out, and enlisted with the Australians. He served in Egypt and Gallipoli. Later, he was invalided to England. The pretty bride is a Melbourne Girl, who was educated at P.L.C., and at Lauriston,where she played right wing in the School Hockey Team. Later, she went to England,and was doing a nursing course in the Middlesex Hospital, when Germany began to kick the European nations about like footballs. England and France stubbed Germany's toe pretty badly, didn't they ? However, to return to our hero and heroine : After her training was completed, she joined Queen Alexandra's Army Nursing Reserve, and acted as Sister at the Beaufort War Hospital. Now you will observe the threads are beginning to come together, And Mr. John Wesley was invalided to Beaufort War Hospital, where he met Sister Hilda Newport. 30th November. The threads were linked up, and now Mr. and Mrs. John Wesley after a honeymoon at Portsea, have gone to reside at "Eccles," Kyabram.

SUCCESSFUL SONG WRITER
Tells of Sunshine's Effect on Musical Demands
Miss Claire Newton's melodious and pretty songs have been known and appreciated by Sydney vocal students and concert-goers for several years, but few of the singers and listeners realised that the song writer was an Australian. The melody maker returned home recently, after several years of success in London's musical world, and is now staying at Greenwich, delighted to be back again.
'At present I am loving the sunshine and the blue skies,' she says, 'and I can understand now why it is that the English people think Australians such a happy race — it is this wonderful sunshine and clear atmosphere, that give the happy, care-free disposition and buoyancy of spirit.
CLIMATE ALTERS STYLE.
Miss Newton tells you that she has done no serious song writing since the beginning of the war. All her energies were devoted to war work, and she put in a great deal of time working at the Australian hospitals in London — mostly Harefield and Sutton Ferry. Now she is back again she intends to resume her song writing, and expects that her style will again alter as it did after her arrival in England. In the musical atmosphere in London Miss Newton found a great difference. She found the English temperament quite distinct from the Australian, and the musical demands even more varied. Miss Newton describes the English musical taste as demanding something epigramatic, whereas the majority of Australians are melody loving, and like much more sentiment in their songs.

DEATH FROM POISON
Open Finding at Inquest
The death, on October 21, of Mrs. Eileen Catherine Cullen, aged 48 years, a former nurse, at her home in Tara Street. Kew, was found, at an inquest yesterday, to have been due to the effects of, cyanogen - a poison. The coroner (Mr. Tíngate, P.M.), who conducted the inquest at the city morgue, said he was unable to say In what circumstances the poison was taken.
Cross-examined by Dr. A. D. Ellis (for the dead woman's relatives). Dr. Paul Dane, who conducted the autopsy, said, that he had formed the opinion that Mrs. Cullen had died from "some acute irritant poisoning." He sent certain organs for analysis, and from the report he was definite that she died from poisoning by prusslc acid. Charles Anthony Taylor, Government medico-legal chemist, said that on October 21 he received the dead woman's stomach and contents and portion of the liver. He found traces of cyanogen. On October 22 he received further organs and detected faint traces of cyanogen.
To Dr. Ellis. Mr. Taylor said that almonds would liberate cyanogen in the process of digestion. He had tested some
almonds given to him by Senior-detective Halsall, but found no poison in them.
Married 17 Years
Edgard Richmond Cullen, manager of Claude Neon Lights (Vic.) Ltd., said that he had been married to Eileen Catherine Cullen for 17 years. They had two children. On October 19 he and his wife attended a bridge party. After they returned home he was awakened during the night by the heavy breathing of his wife, who had a fit of vomiting. She appeared to recover the next day and went to the Caulfield Cup with him.
Mr. Cullen said that he and his wife read the papers for a while before they went to sleep on October 20. About 2.45a.m. he awakened and found Mrs. Cullen dead.
To Senior-detective Gooden. Mr. Cullen said that there had never been prussic acid in the house. His wife took great precautions with poisons such as caustic soda, because she was afraid the children would touch them.
Detective Rosewarne said that he and Senior-detective Halsall had made many inquiries from chemists and could trace no sale of prussic acid to any of Mrs.Cullen's relatives or associates.
Several persons gave evidence of Mrs.Cullen's happy domestic relations. Dorothy Jane Ryall, matron, of Trinity College, Carlton, said that her sister had been subject to violent bilious attacks all her life. She visited her sister two or three times a week. Mrs. cullen's home life was "all that could be desired."
Thomas George Newton, auctioneer, of Murrumbeena road, Murrumbeena, described Mr. and Mrs. Cullen as a "very loving couple."
Mr. Tíngate said that in view of Dr. Dane's evidence he found that Mrs. Cullen died from the effects of cyanogen poisoning.

Married 17 Years
Edgard Richmond Cullen, manager of Claude Neon Lights (Vic.) Ltd., said that he had been married to Eileen Catherine Cullen for 17 years. They had two children. On October 19 he and his wife attended a bridge party. After they returned home he was awakened during the night by the heavy breathing of his wife, who had a fit of vomiting. She appeared to recover the next day and went to the Caulfield Cup with him.
Mr. Cullen said that he and his wife read the papers for a while before they went to sleep on October 20. About 2.45a.m. he awakened and found Mrs. Cullen dead.
To Senior-detective Gooden. Mr. Cullen said that there had never been prussic acid in the house. His wife took great precautions with poisons such as caustic soda, because she was afraid the children would touch them.
Detective Rosewarne said that he and Senior-detective Halsall had made many inquiries from chemists and could trace no sale of prussic acid to any of Mrs.Cullen's relatives or associates.
Several persons gave evidence of Mrs.Cullen's happy domestic relations. Dorothy Jane Ryall, matron, of Trinity College, Carlton, said that her sister had been subject to violent bilious attacks all her life. She visited her sister two or three times a week. Mrs. cullen's home life was "all that could be desired."
Thomas George Newton, auctioneer, of Murrumbeena road, Murrumbeena, described Mr. and Mrs. Cullen as a "very loving couple."
Mr. Tíngate said that in view of Dr. Dane's evidence he found that Mrs. Cullen died from the effects of cyanogen poisoning.
