[BY laoGE.x.l

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

Of New Zealand Interest. A London correspondent writes that on January 19, at St. Michael's Parish Church, Broadway, the wedding took place of Mr. Walter Cyril Beaumont, well-known in rowing circles in New Zealand, eldest son of the late Mr. H. Beaumont, of Ohristchurch, to Miss Nellie Hodges, eldest daughter of the late Mr. W. J. Hodges, of Marriage, near Bedford-on-Avon, and grand-daugh-ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Spire, of Broadway, England. The Rev. Trevolyau Snow, M.A., performed the ceremony, and Mr. C. H. Santler, of Malvern Link, gave his niece away. The Misses Gwendoline and Beatrice Hodges were bridesmaids, and the Rev. V. G. CliiP ton. of Broadway, was best man. The bride and bridegroom were to leave shortly for Canada, en route for NewZealand, where their home will be. Mr. Beaumont carried off the W.A.R.C. Sculling Championship 011 the Thames in 1912.

The wedding took place on January 27 in St. Mary Magdalene Church, Ash-ton-on-Mersey, of Mr. John H. -Brougliton, son of Mr. John Broughton, of Dunedin, to Miss Josephine Amy Sylvia. Wood, elder daughter of Mrs. J. Tertins Wood, of Summerfield, Ashton-on-Mersey, and of the late Major Wood, formerly of Rochdale. The Rev. T. M'Cormick, M.A., Vicar of the parish, performed the ceremony. "The Mummy and the Humming Bird." Charming frocks were worn in "The Mummy and the Humming Bird," which has been played at the Grand Opera House by the Plimmer-Hall Company. Miss Beatrice Day in the first act wore a gown of white satin, which was embroidered at the sides and the front with tones of blue and rose, centred with opalescent beading, and the sccond evening gown in which she appeared was also of white satin, with overdress of silver-spangled niuon. The evening coat which she wore with this was of white satin, lined with pink and embroidered with butterflies. The walking gown in the last act was of dull wedgewood silk, made in the new sleeveless fashion with corsage and sleeves of striped silk, the pretty little toque which she wore with it having a crown of similar silk. Miss Nellie Calvin, who took the part of Mrs. Thornton, also wore some very charming gowns, her first being of emerald green ninon over white satin, bordered with bands of dill gold embroidery. A cape-like drape at the back ended in a gold tassel. Her next frock was of cham-pagne-coloured ninon, with turquoise embroideries on traili and corsage. Her evening wrap was equally pretty. Johnsonvllle Golf club. - - Tho opening of the Johnsonville Golf Club s season .on Saturday afternoon proved a very pleasant social function, and the members and guests present also made good use of the opportunities for play. The afternoon was beautifully line, and the ground was surprisingly dry, considering the amount of rain that had fallen during tho week. The officials of the club spared no pains to make the opening ceremony a success, and their efforts wore much anprecivr Afternoon tea'was provided by Mrs. ■ Wallis (the wife of the club's I.president), .and_ Mrs,;'.' Morgan assisted ; her to dispense it. The main table was prettily decorated with the club's coloura (navy blue and red), and the room was arranged with large bowls of hydrangeas. A number of small tables wer & se t 011 the lawn in front of the club house. The afternoon tea was much appreciated by guests. Mrs. U allis wore a brown costume with a brown toque trimmed with berries, and Mrs. Morgan was in a grey costume and a purple panne hat. Among those present were: Mrsdnmes Shirtcliffe, Budcilo, Graves, Taylor, Kirlccaldio, Burton, -Mnssey, HirschGerg, and Little, Misses J3atham, Cock, Grapes, Millf, Francis, Yarrall, Ellison, Price, Morgan, Williamson, Davis, Mills, Graves, Turner, Williams, Brady, Fitzmauricf, Ross, and Sullivan. The results of tho '"7" v 'titions will be found in another column.

N. Houghton, of Auckland, left for Wellington at the end of last week. Mrs. W. F. Massey wishes to acknowledge a parcel of books from Mr. and Mrs. J. Dykes, for tb.e caiup library at Trentham. Mrs. H. H. Green is visiting Christchurch. Mrs. J. Mackenzie and Miss Mackenzie, Karori, are leaving to-morroiv on a visit to Kotorua. Miss Harcourt Turner is visiting friends in the Wairarapa. Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Blair, who have been visiting Auckland, left oil their return to Wellington, on Thursday. Mrs. G. Barltrop, secretary of the Wellington South Nursing Division, desires to thank the Red Cross Society at Bulls, per Mrs. W. B. Clark, the Slarton Patriotic Workers, per Mrs. A. Bill, and the Sanson Red Cross Guild, per Miss_ M. Harris and Mrs. Smith, Tua Marina, for gifts of useful clothing for the use of the sick or wounded at the front. The. secretary of the division, or Mrs. Preston, 304 Adelaide Road, will be pleased to give any information to others desiring to assist in this very worthy cause. Miss Edith and Miss Agnes Hassall, who have been visitors to Wellington, have returned to Timaru.

Belgian Collections and Some Doubts. Processions au.l street entertainments and collections are becoming quite a habit ,iii Wellington these days, all for tile benetit of the Belgian Funds, and perhaps as a result some other means will have to be thought out of raising money so that the same people may not be lallen upon every time. Flags Hying gaily in the unusually gentle breeze that floated through Wellington on Saturday, the music of the band, and the sight of the decorated vehicles with their caricatures of well-known people, gave a touch of brightness to the somewhat drab streets, while stands at the various corners for the sale of sweets, flowers, and other commodities helped to swell the proceeds. Collectors were everywhere making their way about and perhaps had Belgian boxes been used entirely, without the assistance of hats and open bags and other receptacles, there would not have been any hesitation on the part of some people as to whether any accident might not befall their contributions. Whether it is altogether desirable that children should go round collecting for the fund, even though they may be authorised to do so, is a rather questionable matter one cannot help thinking. It is quite right that their sympathies should be aroused for these most unfortunate people, and that they should take an active part in helping to relieve suffering, but there is so much to be said against street collecting for them, and there aro so many other ways in which tl.'ey could help. Money is the root of all evil they say (though one would prefer to think the want of it was), and such a matter as street-collecting leads to temptation. Motor Ambulances from New Zealand. According to advice received in Wellington, tho motor ambulance ordered by Miss Johnston, Fitzherbert Terrace, was sent to Cairo on January 21. This ambulance car was built to the specifications of the War Office, and is to be attached to the New Zealand Infantry Brigade. It is understood that a similar car is now being built to the order of Mrs. Johnston, of "Highden." A Farewell to the Nurses. Oil Friday evening the nurses from Otago who have volunteered for service at the front were entertained at a social gathering by the Nurses' Association of Otago, a large number of friends also being present in the Savoy Tea Rooms, in winch the evening was held. Dr. W. Marshall Macdonald, the president of the" association, presented Nurses Buckley, Calder, Dodds, Foote, Moore, and Wilkie with electric torches. Nurse Chalmer received a gift of books from the Dunedin nurses who served in South Africa, and aii electric torch is being sent to Nurse Ingram, who leaves from Napier, but who formerly did much work for the association in Dunedin. Messrs. Herbert, Haynes, and Co. were also giving 'each nurse a deckchair.

In making the presentation, Dr. Macdonald, in the course of his speech, said that tho nurses who wore going from Otago were in every way worthy to represent the province and to take their stand boside nurses from any part of the world. New Zealand nurses had already gained recognition in Europe, and this was not surprising, for their nurses got a much longer and more varied training than nurses did in the Old Country, and nursing organisation in the colony was far more advanced and more thorough than it, was at Home. All present would like to think that the- nurses were going to minister to the sick and wounded among the New Zealand forces when the great hour of trial came. Mr. C. E. Staham, M.P., referred to the splendid work the nurses would undoubtedly perform at the front. Mr. and Sirs. Shirtcliffe, who have been visiting Mount Cook, have returned to Wellington..
