MATTERS OF INTEREST FROM FAR AND NEAR, [Bs Imooen.l

An Afternoon Tea. Mrs. H. B. Irving iras the guest of honour at an afternoon tea in Palmerston North, last Thursday afternoon, given by Dr. and Mrs. O'Brien, at their residence in Duke Street. The pretty drawing-room was oharmingly decorated with shaded sweet peas. Mrs. O'Britii received in a becoming robe of palp grey cachmire, braided en suite. Mrs'. H. B. Irving wore an- artistic gown of purple ninon, with an overdress of black chiffon, exquisite laoe adorning the corsage. She also wore a large black crinoline hat, wreathed with purple pansies. Amongst others present were the Eev. Mr. Rosher and Mrs. Rosher, Mrs. R. S. Abraham, Mrs. A. A. Martin, Mrs. Chavtor, Mrs. E.. D. Hoben, Mrs. Arnold Barraud, Sirs. Putnam, Mrs. Greig, Mrs. R. Davis, Mrs. and Miss Warburton, Mrs. Harold Cooper, Miss Hooker, Miss Sybil Abraham and Miss Sylvia Abraham, and Dr. Bett. ■ Miss, Dorothea Baird (Mrs. H. B. Irving). When.talking with the tall and graceful Miss. Dorothea Baird (Mrs. H. B. Irving), one quickly realises that here is an actress who is deeply interested in all the artistic and serious affairs of life—mere "chiffons" or social pleasures would hardly content I Miss Baird- Indeed, she is looking forward to investigating for herself the result of the woman's vote in this country, and is keenly enthusiastic over a pet scheme with which she is connected in London, namely, the Society for the Education of .Mothers—a most practical and helpful institution somewhat on the same lines 'as the New Zealand Plunket Nurses Society. . Mrs. Irving is essentially a lover of home life, which, indeed, is easily observable 'when she is speaking of her two childreu left 'in England, a little girl of seven, and a boy eight years older, the latter at Wellington College.' Though laughingly disclaiming the idea of "a favourite"part" (even that of her original creation. "Trilby"), Mrs. Irving confesses to some hobbies—poultry-raising and gardening—in Loth of which she can indulge to'her heart's content at the quaint old country house in Whitstable, Kent, where lierself and husband live whenever time permits.. The greater part of the year is, of course, spent at their homo in Bloomsbury, London. . .•"New Zealand already promises to be one of our most delightful trips," says

Mrs. Irving, who is quite an experienced traveller, having toured America and other places. "We were more than pleased with the reception which we had in Auckland, and hope to have the same happy time among you here." The most notioeable thing about Mrs. Irving's very attractive personality is her statuesque figure, and classicly-dressed golden -brown hair, and last, but not least, a charmingly, unaffected, and natural manner, and the raro and happy gift of making her guests feel thoroughly "at home."
