At St. Colunibia'e Church of Scotland, Pont Street ,London, the marriage took placo of Dr. Oswald Smith, to Miss Audrew Richardson. The bridegroom's brother was one of the officiating clergy. ' Tho wedding was a quiet one. Tho bride, who was given away by -her father, Captain Richardson, wore a skirt of white dharmeuse with a coatee of_ beautiful laco and a largo white hat trimmed with laoe, and carried a bunch of white heather. There were no brides, maids. The honoymoon is being spent in Italy. Mr. and Mrs. Oswald-Smith will live at Sanderstead, Surrey,. where Dr. Oswald-Smith has been in practice for somo time. Miss Audrey Richardson is well known, as a violinist in Dunedin (New Zealand), and has given several successful Tecitals in London. Australasian Day at Earl's Court. It was' a pity the weather did not do its sliaro on Tuesday, in making Australasian Day at Earl's Court a success, writes a London correspondent on September 11. Thousands of tickets went out, and large numbers of Australians and New Zealanders faced the weather, which was fortunately not cold, though it was gloomy and damp. The Welcome Club opened its doors to the visitors, and the overflow of seekers for tea-tables was driven off to the Quadrant and other tea places near by.. On tho wide club verandah, where there was a piano, and a great crush, tho vines trailing between tho posts mado tho southerners feel quite at home. Tho piano was provided for tho accompaniment of Mdme. Slapoffski's rendering of "Land of Hope and 'Glory," and a trumpet _ helped. The visitors were asked to sing tho refrain, and I heard someone romark that "our" voice (tho Australian and New Zealand voice) is not at all bad on tho whole. The ordinary visitors outside tho Welcomo Club precincts wero much interested in the proceedings taking place inside. Sir Georgo Roid and the Hon. Thomas Mackenzie, who wero joined b.y Ludy Reid, had tea on their arrival in one of tho comfortablo little alcoves of tho verandah. Lady Reid, who was looking very nice in dark blue and a small velvet hat with dark red ilowera, before arriving at tho club had spent somo time inspecting tho exhibition, and was particularly interested in tho South Polo relics and pictures. ■ • . It was altogether an informal affair. Nobody troubled much about clothes. One does not dress elaborately to go to exhibitions in the rain in September. Of course,.a great many Australians are just about to leave England and escape the winter here, and the gathering served for some of them as a farewell tea party to Australia in Londt «,

Lady Stout was fortunate in having met upon tho public platform or in various other ways, very many of tho notable figures in politics, literature and several of the other walks of life, and her vivid little word pictures of them, descriptive of tlioir personal appearance, characters, mannerisms, oven to the way they talked, wore exceedingly interesting. A curious thing that had struck her in relation to notable women was tho fact that nearly ■every one .of them was. particularly small in size and build, a fact from. Which the small peoplo among her hearers last evening might derive somo oomfort. Naturally she had met tie Prime Minister, Mr. Asquith, and somo of his Cabinet Ministers, the Marchioness of Salisbury, Mr. John Burns, Lady Henry Somerset, and several of tho leading women of tho Suffragette movements—Mrs. and Miss Pankhurst—Miss Beatrico Hairaden, whose books are familiar to most readers.
