SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

Wadding at Newtown. At the Trinity Wesley Church, Newtown, a very pretty wedding took place on January 5, when Mr. Frank Rogers, sooond son of Mr. Jamea Rogers, of Wellington, was married to Miss. Myrtle Edith Smith, third daughter of Mr. J. -A. Smith, of Hataitai. The bride wore a gown of cream oharmeuse trimmed with honiton lace, and had a tulle veil and orange blossoms, and carried a shower bouquet. She was attended by Miss Gladys Smith (sister). Miss May Rogers (sister of the bridegroom), and little Averil Pearce (cousin of the bride), who wore white embroidered voil with hat of white crepe de chine trimmed with Baxe blue and pink rosea, and carried pink bouquets. Mr. Alfred W.' Wilson was best man and Mr. George Rogers groomsman. The reception was held at the Hataitai Bowling Club's pavilion, after which Mr. and Mrs. Rogers left by the evening train for Rotorua where the honeymoon was spent. The bride's going-away dress was grey cloth with sase blue hat. Garden Party. Miss Harcourt gave a very. pleasant garden party yesterday _at her residence in Hawkeston Crescent. The garden .was a glorious mass of colour; it was difficult to believe that flowers could be brought to such perfection in so-called. windy Wellington. The begonias in the conservatory were wonderful in growth and cotour and were very greatly admired. Miss' Harcourt received in a graceful gown of oream brocaded crepe de chine, and her pale pink satin hat was edged with a soft ruche of feathers. Among the guests were: Mrs. Massey, Sir Joseph and Lady Ward, Mr. and Mrs. Salmond, Dr. and Mrs; Ohapsman, Mrs. and. Miss Bell,. Mrs. B. Wood, Colonel Logan, Mrs. Kwei, Miss Johnston, Mrs. Turr'ell, Mrs. and the' Misses Miles, the Rev. A. and Mrs. Johnson, Mr. Hiley, and many others.' Wellington's Diamond JublloGi The final preparations for to-dav's jubilee celebrations are now completed. Mr. George Cross reports that all the principal members of the George Wit loughby Dramatic Company will take part in the procession by forming a tableaux on a motor-lorry. The tableau will represent' the Allies, with Mr. Cross as an English Life Guardsman, Miss Vera Remee as Cigarette (La Belle France)., • Britannia will be represented, as also Russia, India, Canada, and New Zealand, bv the different members from the war arama "Under Two Flags." The West Coasters made their final arrangements last evening, and report that the display of pioneer J mining is now complete, and a large number of old miners have promised to join in'the procession and. help in the singing of the old goldfield tunes. At the park all arrangements are equally forward, and amusement is promised for all, and the public should be. able to look forward to a real good'day's outing. The finale will be held in the evening in the Town Hall in a rig concert in which all the leading talent has offered to assist. During the evening Mr. Wallace will auction the Diamond Jubilee Nuggets made from the gold washed at tie park during. the day. A unique souvenir, presented by Mr. Flyger, is to be competed for during the day. This is a walking stiok made of every New Zealand wood, and bound 1 by whalebone from a whale tried out in Wellington' Harbour in the early 'forties. The competition is to guess the number of pieces of wood used in making the stiok. English Victoria League pamphlet.. A very interesting little pamphlet has been issued by the English Victoria League. It is entitled. "Why is India Heart and Soul With Great Britain?'' and is written by Bhupendranath I Basu, an ex-member of the Imperial Legislative Council in India. His answer to the question is . that India is not. conquered territory, or a subject nation, but that the /Indians march side by. side with the English, and place full faith in tiie proclamation issued by Queen' Victoria and 'ratified since by Edward VII and George V. That provided that they wished no extension of. territorial possession, and-would permit no aggressions on dominions or rights, and would sanotion no encroaohmcnts on those of others ; also, that the rights; dignity, and honour of the native princes snould be the same as their own. .. Mr. Basu-says that too great prominence has been given to political crimes in India, forgetting that they are attributable to an infinitesimal fraction, of the population.' He remarks that India has never doubted, her heart is whole with British rule, and all classes are' ready to lay down their lives on the field so that the old order of things may pass away, and a hew ushered in, and East and West, India and England, may march onwards in comradeship, united in bonds- of mutual respect.

Base Hospital at Trenthani. The Mayoress is calling a meeting of Wellington women for next Monday, in the Mayor's room, Town Hall, at 3 p.m., to oonsider what can be done to help the Base Hospital at Trentham in every possible way. Mrs. Luke is'gathering information on the subject, and the. meeting should be full of interest to the many women who are anxious to know-that our soldiers when sick are surrounded with every possible care and comfort. Women and the War. The many efforts that women are making to'be of real use in helping to equip nurses or jissist the soldiers in any way seem to be rather pathetic, because in England, as well as in New Zealand, it appears to be so difficult to find out exactly what is wanted and what is permitted. There seems to be a diversity of opinion' among the authorities. even, and those who have talent, time, and money, and an earnest desire to be of use, find most discouraging obstacles. Sometimes these are notmnng tangible but a sort of "don't caw whether you do or not, anyway don't bother me," and the result is the loss of enthusiasm, and much discouragement. Some English women wild were not trained to nurse, or good needlewomen, started in a small way, first finding out "Tommies" who were either quite lonely or else belonged to poor or illiterate families, and each of the women undertook to write to' her particular trooper and toll him any permitted news from his family or friends if possible. Also to send him email gifts of tobacco or soup tablets, eto., and, best of all, if he was wounded, to take charge of him after he left hospital till he was able to return to the front, giving him the best of food and kindly care. This society is' spreading largely, as it eeems quite in tune with the wishes of the "powers that be," and it must be of immense benefit to the men: ' : 1 The Johanna Lohse Bequest. No girls' school in New Zealand was better known some years ago than that of Miss Lohse, in Christohurch, and many of the leading!, women there, and in other parts of New Zealand, received their eduoation at the school.' Miss Lohse was an enthusiast in education, and has left practical proof of it in her. will. She has arranged for £100 a year, tenable for three years, to educate a girl, over sixteen years of age, and the daughter of a Church of England clergyman, in art or science, as she may show talent or proficiency. The education may be given either here or abroad, and competitive examinations shall not-be the. test on which the scholarship is to be awarded, but talent, nually, scnolarehips are t» be offered annually, somotimes two in a year, and sometimes one only.

General Dimitrieff replied with an aphorism which, will doubtless become historic— "Don't count the enemy. Boat him." HAIRS ON THE FACE. ' The greatest humiliation is suffered by women who have superfluous hair. When conversing with friends who happen to ■look at them interestedly they feel that it is the hair that is drawing attention. To a certain, extent this is so, for one always notices and feels sorry. for those afflicted in this way. Depilatories are useless, electrolysis as a rule marks the skin permanently, and very few remedies are to be relied upon for this trouble. TheTe is a safe, sure, and simple Temedy In "Kuldah" which is quite different from any other preparation—it is a lotion which penetrates the hair shaft and witheis the root. A remarkable feature of this remedy i 3 that while it destroys the hair permanently it does not affect the skin. Women who aro troubled with superfluous hair should write at once for "Kuldah" to Madame Bouffare, Swanson Street, Auckland, enclosing Gs. 6d. The parcel will be sent in plain sealed wrapper, well packed, or it may be obtained from Mr. Geo. Mee, Chemist, Lambton Quay.—Advt.
