We also have pleasure in recording the marriage, at St. Matthew's Church, Naburn, on August 12th, of Mr. H. A. Wrenn to Miss Barbara Wharram, daughter of Mrs. Wharram and the late Mr. M. G. Wharram, of Providence House, Naburn. The bride was given away by Mr. G. Wharram, an 0.P., and Mr. F. Smith was best man. Among the presents were a silver entree dish from the Staff and a silver cigarette box from present Peterites. We wish Mr. and Mrs. Wrenn many years of happiness with us at York.

We were duly impressed with the Venus of Milo and the Winged Victory before wending our way to the picture galleries, where we fought our way through the crowd to catch a glimpse of the celebrated Mona Lisa.

Although many of the buildings were not finished, there was more than enough to see, and, on reaching terra firma again, we decided each to take a section and to report on it at the end of an hour.
