A wedding of much interest to Austraaus and New Zealanders, as well as to iambridge, was solemnised most approriately in Selwyn College, Cambridge (ngland), on. Tuesday, July 9, when Mr. fill Spens, Pellow and tutor of Corpus hristi Colleg, was married to Miss •orothy Theresa Selwyn, eldest daughter f Mrs. J.'R. Selwyn, Overbrook, Camridge, writes tho correspondent of the British Australasian." The bridegroom is the eldest son of Mr. ohn A. Spens, writer, Glasgow, and Mrs. pens, and is a singularly popular man mong men. Tho bride is the daughter f the late John Richardson Selwyn, iishop of Melanesia from 1877 to lb9o, ,nd Master uf Selwyn from 1893 till his eath, in 1808, and of his second wife, Irs. Selwyn, who is tho eldest daughter f the late Thomas Sutcliffe Mort, of ireenoakes, Sydney (N.S.W.), a man and itizen of such worth that his memory s immortalised in a statue erected by inblio subscription in Macquarie Place. It would be hard to parallel more incresting forbears than the bride's on >oth sides of the house, men who have tamped their individuality and Beuse of luty on tho histories of two young counries in the making, and in Cambridge, ielwyn College stands as a public monunent to Bishop George Augustus Selwyn, he first Bishop of New Zealand, and aferwards of Lichfield. • Selwyn Chapel is an ideal one for a vedding, as it is only largo enough to iccommodate relatives and a low intinate friends. It needed no decoration, rat white flowers oh the altar, and at tho diancel steps, and large moon daisies with •oses and smilax were used effectively for ;he purpose. Mrs. J. R. Selwyn was escorted to her ieat on tho left of the chancel, by Mr. ipens. She wore a very charming connection of black laco and uinon over white atin, with touches of black velvet, and a arge black picture hat with black ostrich dunics, and carried a. beautiful bouquet if deep red roses and asparagus fern. Tho bride entered leaning on tho arm )f her brother, Mr. George Selwyn, and ivas given away by her mother. Sho wore i gown of heavy ivory-white satin, the ,rain falling from one shoulder. The bodice was draped with vcry\ beautiful Brussels laco, while the train was covered ivith tho wedding veil of Bishop Patteson's grandmother, and was a wedding ;ift from the Bishop's sister, Miss Patte?on. A long- tullo veil was hojd in place by a chaplct of orange blossoms, and her Jiamond ornaments included somo handsom© Spens' family diamonds. • She carried a shower bouquet of Nephetos roses and light graceful foliage. Master Hugh Pry, nephew, acted as train bearer, and was in a court suit of black velvet with ruffles of old lace.- wi r-<!j ' .. Tho bridesmaids were Miss Mary Selwyn, sister, and- Miss Phyllis AtkinsonWilles, cousin of the bride. They wore lovely dresses of pale blue and mauveshot taffeta, with fiuchus of Flemish lace, and hats of white chip, lined with shot aeroplane, and trimmed with laco and lancer plumes. The shimmering shades of the taffeta blended perfectly with the lovely bouquets of shaded delphiniums, which they carrieH. Tho bridegroom's present to each was a pair of bluo amethyst ear-rings. Mr. Hugh B. Spens acted as best man to his brother. The Rev. A. C. Pearco, Dean of Corpus Christi College, assisted by the Rev. J. R. Selwyn, brother of the bride, performed the marriage ceremony. The choir sang before the service three verses ot Psalm exxi., and later tho "Veni Creator," and for the Psalm, "Dens Miseratur." After the ceremony Mrs. Selwyn welcomed hor guests at a reception, held in the fine College Hall of Selwyn, when some three hundred friends, representing many lands, as well as academic and social Cambridge, congratulated the new-ly-wedded pair. The hall was decorated with palms and foliaged plants, and Mr, and Mrs. Will Spens took their position at the upper end on a raised platform, with a great bank of variegated foliag« plants behind them. The presents were displayed in the adjoining Common Room, and were as bewildering in variety a; they were in number. Perhaps the mosl romantically interesting one was a cas kot made of Norfolk Island pine, inlait with other woods, the work of a grand eon of that Christian Nobbs, who to one of the' Bounty mutineers, for in tjta' far-distant island of the Pacific the bndo: babyhood was passed. The going-awav dress was very smart and becoming, of Royal, blue ninon witl veiled touches of crimso;a about the wars and bib. With it was worn a black chi] hat with bright blue lancer plume. Tin honey moon was begun in Yorkshire, am will 'be finished abroad. When Mr. am Mrs. Spens return they will live in Cam bridge. A Morrinsvllle Weddinn.

A French paper gives the following particulars (writes a Paris correspondent in the "Australasian") on the origin of certain fashions—Trains were introduced by the daughters of Louis IX, who were afflicted with exceptionally large feet. Philippe tho Third's wife adopted'high collars in order to dissimulate the length of her neck. To hide a scar, Mme. Ferrouniere set the fashion of wearinpr a large jewel kept hy a golden net in tho centre of the forehead. Drooping shoulders suggested tho introduction of epau- ' lettes by the nobles of the Court of 1 Charles 111. Under the reign of Henri 11, princesses suffering from goitre took ' to high fluted ruffles and puffed sleeves, ; which concealed all deformity round tho ■ neck._ Queen Anne of Austria, wishing L ,to display her beautiful arms, decreed ' short sleeves for all. Louis IV devised > a wig when he developed a lump on his ; poll. Mme. dc Pompadour, owing to her ' small stature, set the fashion of wearing slippers, with exaggerated heels, and tho > Empress Josephine, to hide the uneven. > ness of her teeth, brought into favour t the use of lace handkerchiefs, which were > constantly held before tho mouth. 1 1 HOW VALAZE BEAUTIFIES.
