"Wesley Turton, to Mr. Geoffrey Eaton Turner, son of Mr. William Eaton Turner, of Bedford, England. Tho bride, who was given away by hor brothor, Mr. R. Turton, wore a gray travelling coat and skirt with white collar and cuffs, and a pretty blue French hat with touches of canary colour. She oarried a bouquet of pale pink carnations. Mr.'Hornabrooke was best mail. After the ceremony, which was performed by the vieaT ; the Rev. Mr. Johnson, M.A., the bride and bridegroom and a few intimate friends were ontertained at a luncheon party given by Mr. Justice Hosking and Mrs. Hosking. Mr. and Mrs. Eaton Turner left for Sydney yesterday by the Marama, and on their return to Wellington Mr. Turner goes into camp at Treutham, with the Reinforcements. Carnival Arrangements. The Wellington Nursing Division Committee, which is organising matters for the jumble stall to be held in connection with the Carnival, met at Mrs. Moorhouso's residence on Thursday evening, to further their arrangements. It was decided to name tho stall the Rod Cross Jumble Stall. The committee is comprised of the follow- ' ing ladies: Mesdames Moorhouse, Pearson, Burton, Whyto, J. Hislop, Gibbons, Von Haast, Campbell, Stott, Barclay, Ward, Baker, Corrigan, Adams, J.-M'Eldowney, Fossette, A. Meek, G. Tripe, Misses Kennedy, and Miss Robieson (secretary). Tno following have offered their houses as depots for small goods: Mrs. Hobday, the Parsonage, Brooklyn: Mrs. Baker, 67 Overton Terrace, Kilbirnie; Mrs. Von Haast, 41 Salamanca Roadj Mrs. Moorhouse, Dixon Street; Mrs. Adams, 96 The Terrace; Mrs. Corrigan, 21 Talavera Terrace; Mrs. Pearson, 210 Tho Terrace. The committee has also been given the use of a room for office work in Mr. Von Haast's office, first floor, first and second rooms, St. George s I Buildings, Brandon Street. Work of a Soldier's Wife. I Lady Smith-Dorrien is amongst the many soldiers' wives who are engaged upon helpful works while their _husbands are at the front, states "The Queen." She has proved herself upon more than one occasion to be a very eloquent speaker, always saying something that is well worth hearing, and thus securing an attentive audience. A few days ago she made one of her usual neat little speeches at the Soldiers' and Sailors' Club, which has been opened in the Vauxhall Bndge Road, i and her sympathetic references to our light,ing forces delighted everyone present. Lady Smith-Dorren, who married Sir Horace Smith-Domett in. 1902, 1 was Miss Olive Schneider, daughter of Colonel Schneider, of Oak Lea, FurMess Abbey. It was while Sir Horace was Commander-in-Chief at Aldershot that the King and Queen paid their first visit to this great military centre, staying at the Royal Pavillion, vhich was specially fitted up for their use there upon that and subsequent occasions. Lady Smith-Dorrien is president of the Blue Cross Fund, which looks after the welfare of wounded horses. It has done much excellent work already in relieving the sufferings of numbers of animals, many of which have been torribly torn by shrapnel and other explosives, and in great need of its services in consequence. War's Tragedies.' Of the many tragedies of war, nona surely is more poignant than the passing of Miss Neiil Fraser _in Serbia, whither she had gone to assist as nurse in a country whioh was hard pressed for hospital comforts for its stricken soldiers. She went witfo the St. Andrews Ambulance Association to Kra>cujevatz, and succumbed to fever. Miss Seill Fraser was excellent at most sports, but best at golf; she was probably within a stroke of being as good as any lady player in the land. In 1910 she reached the semi-final of the British Championship at Westward Ho! She was beaten by 2 and 1 in the penultimato stage by Miss Lily Moore at a time when tho latter was just beginning to make a name for herself. Miss Neil] Fraser was runner-up in the Scottish championship three years ago and a semi-finalist in that event in 1906. She was a powerful driver, and with a turn of luck she might have been lady champion in 1910, for 1 she was playing remarkably well until she encountered the then almost unknown Miss Moore. Truly, are there some bravo deaths among those who seek to save instead of to kill. Mrs. Longmore (Brougham Street), and Mrs. Salek (The Terrace) are in charge of the art and miscellaneous stall which is one of the activities undertaken by tho St. John Ambulance Association in connection with the forthcoming carnival. Contributions to this stall would be very greatly appreciated, and as it is all part of the work tfhicli is being organised for the benefit of our wounded soldiers, a wholehearted response from people who have the cause at heart, will no doubt bo made in regard to contributions. The Young New Zealand Leaguo handed over to the Belgian Fund the sum of £7 155., the result of thoir recent entertainment. A meeting was 'held at Brooklyn yesterday evening by the Kindergarten Committee to considor arrangements in connection with a euchre party and dance, which is to be held on June 22, tho funds to go towards tho Kindergarten funds. Mr. Cowley will provide tho music and the committee intends _to spare no trouble in making tho evening a most enjoyable one. Mr. and Mrs. Eaton Turnor left last ovening by tho Marama for Sydney. The marriage of Miss Helen Macdonnld, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Macdonald, Hambleden, Christchurch, and Captain Blakemore, took place in London on May 17.

Varney, general secretary of tho Young Men's Christian Association, will give an address at the Young Women's Christian Association, Fowlds's Buildings, Manners Street. Owing to Mr. Varney's work in connection with the Trentham Camp, this is one of the few opportunities of his being able to give a message to girls and young_ women, all of whom are cordially invited.
