Owing to the numerous calls made on the St. John Ambulance Brigade for the services of its members to render first-aid at Association football and Rugby games, athletics, hockey, picnics and fetes, the Wellington corps has decided not to assist in street day collecting in the future, excepting in its own interest and on Poppy and Rose Days.

There are now thirty-six children attending the Petone kindergarten and an ever-increasing list waiting for admittance. The Petone beach gives much pleasure on cooler days. Last Tuesday the children had a very successful paddling excursion, and passers-by were much amused at the sight of twentyseven pairs of little shoes on the cement kerbing. One little girl broke her leg in the holidays, but wept to return with the other children, so that now she arrives each day with her leg in plaster, and rests in her small brother’s pram, doing all possible things that her own group does. Miss Bennie has returned as assistant this year, and it is hoped the kindergarten spirit will continue to grow. NAVY LEAGUE “AT HOME” The Wellington Navy League held a reception last night in the Pioneer Club rooms in honour of the delegates to the Navy League Conference. The rooms were decorated with bowls of blue hydrangea, pink lilies, and other flowers. The wide-open windows made the rooms quite pleasantly cool in spite of the warm weather. Sir Alexander and Lady Roberts acted as host and hostess, and Mrs. James Pindlay, Mrs. Darling, Mr. Darroch, and other members of the Wellington committees saw to it that the visitors enjoyed themselves. A very good musical programme was given, with songs from Miss Hilda Chudley, Miss Buckmaster, Mr. A. Wyllie, Mr. Hinge, and Captain Chudley, and an amusing recitation by Miss M. Wilcox.

Wedding at Pro-Cathedral. A very pretty wedding took place at St. Paul’s Pro-Cathedral, when Molly, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Morris, of Hobson Street, was married to Llewellyn, son of Mrs. and the late Mr. Hunt, of Sydney. The ceremony was performed by the Ven. Archdeacon Johnson. The church was most uncommonly decorated, chiefly in red flowers. Tall ferns and Canna lilies decorated the aisle, and scarlet gerberas and other brilliant flowers the chancel, only the altar being a contrast in white flowers. The bride’s dress was a beautiful French model in silver cloth, made with uneven hem, long and square at the back and shorter in front, with a full skirt. A long classic train of the silver cloth hung from the shoulders over which fell clouds of tulle. She wore her mother’s wedding veil which was fastened with a caplike headdress of trails of small orange buds, and’ she carried a bouquet of white and palest pink flowers. The only bridesmaid was Bliss Alvs Duncan, who wore a sleeveless frock of Patou red georgette, with long uneven scarf lengths at the back and a picture hat of red crinoline with stitched organdie. Red shoes were worn, and the bridegroom’s gift, a necklace of flat crystal. She carried a sheaf of red gerberas. The bridegroom was attended by Mr. Gibson Stott.

After the ceremony Mrs. Morris held a reception at her home, where the rooms were decorated with deep pink Tiger lilies and other flowers of the same tone, the red being carried out in the dining-room. Mrs. Morris wore a gown of Paris lace draped to one side, where it was caught with a brilliant buckle. A hat of French felt stitched with gold tissue was worn, and she carried a bouquet of deep pink tones. Later when the bride and bridegroom left on their honeymoon, the former wore a frock of Mediterranean blue crepe de chine with silver metal belt and buttons, the coat being of ring velvet in the same tone with squirrel fur bordering. She wore a Taupe hat in the same shade.

At St. Barnabas’ Church, Auckland, Phyllis Ann, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Latimer, of Mount Eden, was married to George Hart, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Lusk, of Wellington. The Rev. J, Calder performed the ceremony. The girl friends of the bride had decorated the church in beautiful tones of mauve, white, and soft greenery. The bride was led to the altar by her father, her gown being of soft shadow lace, completely covered in fine silver thread, with an undergown of ivory chiffon georgette. The side panels from the hips were made in handkerchief draperies of billowy white tulle, which formed the uneven hem, the lace being scalloped to lightly drape over. From the back of the waist floated many yards of tulle, which formed the train. The veil was of Brussels net, worked into sprays of flowers in fine silk. It fell in cascades down each side, and had a spray of lilies of the valley and orange blossom buds in one corner. A small wreath of orange blossom held the veil in place. Water lilies and white flowers formed the bouquet. The four maids were Misses Gwen Latimer, Marnie Ormiston, Mavis Magill (of Sydney), and Ngaire Caffin. The first three were dressed alike, in mid-Vic-torian turquoise green taffetas, with three mauve petalled georgette flounces, long cape collars of georgette, with true lovers’ knots with long ends falling past the waist lines in narrow mauve corded silk ribbon. Rose Marie ribbon bands formed the headdresses, and shaded mauve early period posies were carried. Miss Caffin wore mauve georgette, with petal hem of taffeta, strewn with chiffon flowers, and ribbon bandeau with flowers on one side. An early Victorian posy of pink and mauve flowers w ; as carried. Mr K. Mason, of Wellington, was best man, the groomsmen being Messrs. V. Masters and F. Dawson, of Dunedin. The reception was held at the residence of the bride’s parents, which was decorated in foliage and summer blooms. The hostess received her guests in light steel grey georgette, panels, faggoted in silks, blue crinoline hat with grey ostrich feather. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Lusk, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Lusk.
