In this country the heating of private houses solely liv means of radiators has not becbnie’ as popular as it has on the Continent and in America. The New Zealand man and woman have ingrained in them a genuine love of the open radiant fire, not only for its cheerfulness but because it is a most efficient ventilating agent and prevents that enervating state of atmosphere so noticeable in some hotels in which central heating bv steamheated radiators is the sole means of keeping the buildings warm during the cold months. There should, however, be a pleasant, even temperature throughout the house, a slight, buoyant, healthy heat—not of course the heavy stifling atmosphere experienced with some heating systems. This fundamental temperature can best lie obtained by means of hotwater radiators. For subsidiary heating and creating an atmosphere of good cheer, the open gas fire is unrivalled Consult the Wellington Gas Company for reliable information on this subject.—Advt.

The garden circle of the Pioneer Club is holding its annual show this afternoon in the clubrooms, Lambton Quav. The show is of interest, as all the exhibits are grown by women, and in past years have been of excellent quality. A correspondent writes:—Wellington people reallv do, on the whole, give good support to either musical or dramatic entertainment which comes here, but whv is it that there are always some of the patrons who do not arrive in time? They arc not in time when the curtain is first rung np, and some of them are not even in time for anv succeeding act or part of the programme following an interval. Is it that they think :t is rather smart to be late, or is it just stupidity so great that they do not realise what an odious nuisance they arc, and bow often it is only the strict training in social reticence of the sufferers that saves their lives! One cannot rise and smite them—it isn't done; but is there no wav to deal with the abomination ? Thank goodness the worst offenders are not women.” The wedding took place recently of Edna Mavis, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Wixon, of Wellington, to Robert Janies, youngest son of Air. and Mrs. Morgan, of Wellington, at St Paul’s Pro-Cathedral, the Ven. Archdeacon Johnson officiating. The bride wore a frock of pale pink satin, with sleeves of georgette, and a veil with a coronet of orange blossoms. Iler bouquet was of roses toning with her frock. Miss Adela Asher, the bridesmaid, wore a ftock of floral ninon edged with lilac georgette, and a large crinoline hat with velvet trimmings to match, and carried a bouquet of golden roses.

After the ceremony a reception was held at the Oddfellows’ Hall, at which a number of guests were present. Later the bride and bridegroom left for the north, the bride wearing a bois de rose coat with a crepe de chine frock of a paler shade and a large hat to match.
