Pink Wedding Dresses. I An expert correspondent of an English paper writes that a revolt is coming against the tyr'amvy of white for bridal v.-ear. It has thrown a chill over many a weddinf, for (as my correspondent understates it) a dead white or even a cream or ivory dress is very trying to many complexions, and that is ouo of the reasons why few brides look their best oil their wedding day. For some little while dresses embroidered with green, pink, or gold nave often been worn instead of all white. And during the past week the brides at two fashionable weddings wore, pink at esses and looked very well in them. Palo Pink, it seems, is to be.the substitute for wlute if the reformers get their way, and one of the most eminent dressmakers in London now refuses to make, up white satin without a lining of shell pink, which, she says, imparts a becoming glow. A Sudden Plunge. One of the lady teachers on the staff of a raranaki school failed to put in an appearance on the Monday morning following upon the week-end recess, and on luesdny came hor resignation. No reason was given. Inquiries provided a romantic explanation—she had married, and started with her husband on a honevinoon trip to England.

A Parsee Afternoon. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Baloombe Brown gave en "at Home" at nt-r residence in Tinakori Road to enable those interested to hear Miss Winifred Griffiths speak upon the missionary work that is carried on in connection with tho University Settlement in Bombay and tho Y'.W.C.A. foreign department. Upon •their arrival the jjueits were entertained at ten. in the large dining-room, and then an adjournment was made to the drawingroom, where Miss Griffiths, who speaks delightfully, told of what is being accomplished in India in regard to missionary work by these two agent*, t The University Settlement was originated by Miss Selincourt, a University graduate at' Home, whose interest in the uplifting of the women of India had been strongly aroused. . Seventeen years ago four students left for Bombay, and the first University Settlement was started. Since then its work had grown largely, but the need for workers is sadly felt. The work is largely among tho Pardee women, and deals with their education as well as the Christianising of them. Lectures, Bible teaching, aiid visiting are three of the means which are used, the visiting of tho l'arsee women in their homes'being particularly helpful. Clubs for different ages have ?>een organised, oud have proved to be most successful in placing-the. girls aud women in a helpful environment. Workers and money, however, are badly needed to go on with the training and educating of the Parses women, and it is hoped that. Australia 'and New Zealand will contribute both. The Y.W.C.A. in Bombay is also doing a very fine work omong the European residents and the Eurasians. It was first begun by a graduate of an American University, and hns grown now into a vcrv laige organisation, with a beautiful residential Jiome for the European girl workers of ttie city—largely typists. It is ready to help all creeds, all races, and all classes. Miss Griffiths, at the end of hsr interesting little address, showed the dresses worn by Parses women njid girls, ■very picturesque arid very vivid. Miss Griffitlis told her hearers much of tho life of Pundita liamal-oi, -whose name is known in so many countries.
