SOCIAL AND PERSONAL

The bride woro a frock of ivory crepo de. chine, with veil and orange blosfoms, and carried a sheaf of while lilies. She was attended by Misses Elsie Ingleton and Florence Redward, who wore white voile frocks and blade velvet hats. They carried pink bouquet?. Private D. S. Redward and Lance-Corporal I\ Frcderickson attended the bridegroom. Tho bridegroom, the best man, and groomsman have all enlisted for active service, the two latter having been on final leave. Hutt Patriotic Guild. At the monthly meeting of the committee of the Hutt Patriotic Guild last week votes of gifts to the Soldiers' Hostel, Newtown, to tho Returned Soldiers Club, and a donation to tho Wellington branch of the British Red Cross were passed. Tho acting lion, secretary reported that tiio guild meetings had been well attended, and that the patriotic shop had taken newly ;ESO in the month. The usual yuota of 50 hold-alls and 50 "housewives" had been, sent to tho Countess of Liverpool Committee, and 20 suits of pyjamas, etc., to the Red Cross Depot, Mercer Street, besides special gifts to patients in Victoria Hospital, groceries to tho Soldiers' Hostel, 25 parcels to, soldiers at the front, and a donation of dCIS towards the cost of a cot at Netley Hospital. The membership of the guild is now 153. Off to the War. Jill - . William Murdoch, the Victorian pianist, who has been touring tho provinces with Madame Clara Butt, and last week gavo a concert of his own in London, is wearing a khaki armlet, a piece of practical patriotism (or the promise of it) which brings him tremendous applause every time he appears on the platform (states the "British Australasian" of April 28). It is.not a small thing for n young man who has climbed so far up the difficult musical ladder to throw up his profession for the doubtful pleasure of the trenches, but his fellow-country-men will be glad, though not surprised, that he has refused to belong to tho slacker brigade, and is keeping np the credit of his country. . An' Australian girl who heard him play recently declares that if he must join tho Army it is a crying shame that he cannot become an "Anzac." because lie is certainly the genuine article, as far as looks are concerned. He has that keen, clean-cut, interested type of face which the presence of our men in London' has taught us. to claim as pure Australian. But, alas, red tape, which, we have been, inclined to boast, did not flourish in the Commonwealth, prevents any. Australian from joining his own army, unless ho goes all tho war home to Australia—at his own expense—to do it. Mr. Murdoch, and all our other brilliant and aspiring young men on this side are being .punished therefore for daring to como to JSngtiindto wiii fame for themselves and their country. -
