SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

A Napier Wedding, Tho nmrriago tool; place in St. Angustine s Church, Napier, on Christmas morning of Mr. William Frank F« 0 u sen, youngest boh of tlio lute Air, Jawes I'crgusoji, to 31iss Adn- llofoucc MorKan, eldest daughtcrof tire late Mr. Charles Morgan, of Napier, formerly of Hastings. 'J he ceremony was perform, ed by tho Ttev. Canon Tuke. The bride, who was given away by her step-father, wore a gown of cream charinouso trimmed with laco and pearls, and a veil with wreath of orange blossoms. She carried a sheaf of Christmas lilies. Miss Nellie Ferguson (sister of tho bridegroom) and Miss E. Morgan (sister of the bride) attended her as bridesmaids, Mr. C. Morgan was tho best man, antl Mr. 0. Morgan tlie groomsman. Th& brido travelled in a white linen coat and skirt and white hat with ostrich fcathors. Dresses In 'Within the Law.'* . Very different was the appearance of Mary Turner (Miss Muriel Starr, in tho 6eeond act of "Within tho Law") to that which silo presented in the firstwhen, condemned to three years' imprisonment for a theft which she did not commit, she protested her innocence to tho owner of the emporium in which she had been employed and pleaded for a living wage to be paid to her fellows eo that they could livo honest lives. Handcuffed, desperate, dressed in a shabby black coat and skirt and hat that hod said good-bye to beauty, sho looked utterly forlorn, a creature bereft of nil hope, and yet one who possessed determination enough to bo revenged when, the timo came. It was difficult to recognise her in the clever, self-possessed charniingly-drossed woman who was able to hold her own against all-comers' in tho following acts, and again it was made manifest that beauty unadorned is beauty bereft of many advantages and of much power. On this occasion sho wore a beautifully draped loose coat of dull yellow cashmere do soie, with a deep collar of green and gold embroideries at tho back. Later she removed it and revealed a net and lace blouso of the same shade of dull yellow to tone with tho_ draped skirt, caught in at tho waist with a folded bolt of dull blue. In tho burglary sccno sho had thrown over her gown an evening mloak of emerald green broeado with a wido collar and cuffs of white fox furs. Agnes Lynch (Miss Mary Worth) was very quaint and taking, and in the first act woro a loose Foft white gown with a much beflowered hat with long crossed streamers. 'In tho last act sho was in ft coat and skirt of a pale shade of blue and a demure-looking small black hat.

Round Dinner Tables. j Round-tablo dinners (declares the "Ladies' Pictorial") aro a revival that 1 wo may oxpect to see experimented with I this winter. For someone lias discor- i cred that the square-table dinner can 1 never bo quite a sociable function, and that bur ancestors usedto dine far more amiably when conversation could go "rounci" without cutting corners. Then wo aro told that round tables are re-, gardod almost as an accumulation of valueless lumber by dealers in' "nn» tiques" of the Victorian era. A few shillings will buy quite an imposing "oak",or "mahogany," and this alone may bo rojjardcd as an inducement to try and revive the round dinner. Acknowledgment.
