SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

———— i Palmerston Wedding. The Palmerston correspondent of rihe Dominion- writes that on Wednesday afternoon, at the residence of Iho bride's parents, by ths Kcv. A. Donll, Miss Elizabeth Gilchrist, second daughter of Mr. J, H. Gilchrist, "Ngatiraukawa," Terrace End, Palmerston North, was married to Jir. Leonard Anderson, a member of the local post office staff, and youngest son of Mr. P. P. Anderson, Terrace End. The bride, who was given away by h«r father, wore a putty-tolojired tnflotas gown, relieved with pale pink, and a largo picture hat of putty-coloured straw, trimmed with pale pink tulle and ospreye. fcjho carried a bouquet of*white orchids and maidenhair fern, and wore a cablo bangle, the gift of the bridegroom. Her sister, Miss Nina Gilchrist, attended her as bridesmaid, and wore a white embroidered imislin robe, with a pale pint chiffon hat, and carried a prettily-arranged bouquet of pale pink chrysanthemums and asparagus fern. Sho also wore a pearl brooch, the gift of tho bridegroom. Mr. A. G. Stanley was the best man. A number of relatives wero present, and tea was dispensed during the afternoon. Mr. and Sirs. Anderson left for tho north, the bride travelling in a navy serge costume, trimmed with wida black silk braiding, black beaver hat relieved with eriinson osprey, and handsome black furs. A Maori Mascot. Miss Hilda Spong'e mascot is an apron which ehe bought from a Maori girl when touring as little more than a child with her father's company in New Zealand years ago. "I have never been without it," sho has said, "and have worn it in many parts. I wore it (is Lady Huntingdon in 'Lady Huntingdon's Experiment.' I doubt if thcro is nn actor or actress who doesn't possess a mascot, or who would appear without it, particularly on a first night. This is probably due to the gamble we all havp for success. Sarah Bernhardt has a little jewellod skull. It was formerly tho property of Rachel. Without this mascot she would refuse to go on the stage. I can see the superior smile of many at hearing this, but if tho possession of eomo grotcsquo figure, a bit of ribbnn, or a glove that ones' belonged to somebody else, a coin, a charm, can be made to help/:.us : ..r<*ach:, our respective goals in life, whyshould they not be cherished?" -. ■' r - r^r'-S- ' \ ' Protection of Women.

During that period, with the exception of three years, she has been a ro.mdeiit of Hawke's Bay, and was held in tho highest respect by a wide circle oi mends, by whom her demise will be sincerely regretted.

In tha prosecution of tho Suffragette leaders on a charge of conspiracy, tlio secret code used with regard to the' names of Cabinet Ministers was among the papers which had been taken possession of by ■ the police (says an.English writer). The code, howevw, did not give the key, but this was contributed by a correspondent, and caused much amusement to the publio generally. Hero it is:— Pansy , Mr. Biri'oll Snowdrop Mr. Churchill Willow Lord ifnldane Nettle ■ Mr. Asquith l'pplar ......... Mr. Sydney Buxton 'Limo Mr. Lloyd-George Violet Mr. Jolin Burns Dock Mr. M'Kenna Ash Sir Edward Grey Broom Mr. Hiiroourt The Buckle Shoe, ' A woman correspondent in an English paper writes:—l heard tho other day that owing to tils fnsbion—or should it bo compulsory regulation?—regarding Court shoes worn nt the Coronation tho buckle shoo has come back into fashion again, and this season every well-dressed woman will appear in them. For this purpose paste buckles of a very largo square shape are in requisition, and wlicro old paste is not obtainable the new buckles are made with flat settings so-that they cannot tear the edges of the dress. For the street patent leather and the .various suede slices are to bo worn. Heels will bs fairly high. For evening wear shoes are made principally of brocade, for tho new dress satins are so fine that they nro hopeless for the shoemaker's purpose, and the custom of having dress and slippers'made from the earns fabric hue been given up. Tho smartest slippers are trimmed with laco. which is employed to cover the front vamp of the slipper. This looks verjr well over gold or. silver. "All gold slippers are now thought vulgar, and the result is that whilo gold must bo used it will Iμ in the way of tinsel brocades, or with stripings of a coloured leather.
