THE SOCIAL ROUND
Reception at' Auckland In the Tudor room at Milne and Choyce’s, Auckland, a delightful reception was given on Friday afternoon by Mr. Robert 11. Nesbitt, Australian Trade Commissioner, who was assisted by Mr. Janies Payne, Assistant Commissioner, and Mrs. Payne. The decorations of the room were carried out in deeu red and tangerine zinnias and red gerberas. The many guests were entertained with' music by an excellent trio, and tea with ices was served. Towards the end of the afternoon Mr. Nesbitt made a brief speech. He said that he was looking forward to his stay in New Zealand during the term of his appointment of live years, and his one hope uias that his stay would also be a happy one for New Zealanders. “There is great scope for a greater goodwill between New Zealand and Australia,” said Mr. Nesbitt, “and though there might be a slight political strain between the two countries, this is not the case personally.” He hoped that when the Ministerial representatives of both countries met in the near future a closer contact between Australia and New Zealand would be formed. Australia had a great deal to offer New Zealand, just as New Zea-
auiuiiiiiiic iiiniiiiuuuiiuiiiiiiiiuiiiiuiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiniciiiiiiiiuiiinii land had a great deal to offer Australia. By reason of its size and climatic conditions New Zealand had not quite the sa.me scope as Australia, but its scenery was wonderful, and Australia was the natural field from which it could draw itsjourists. New Zealanders had every reason to be proud of their own place, and after they had seen other countries had every right to say when they returned, “’Thank God for our own country.” The Hon. Eliot Eavis, in voicing thanks for the enjoyable reception, also emphasised the necessity for closer association between Australia and New Zealand. He stressed the enormous business potentialities to be gained by a closer relationship, and mentioned the many industries awaiting development. WEDDINGS Buckeridge—Murray St. John’s.

Hataitai. NECKLACE-MAKING The Stringing- of Beads It is no longer sufficient to buy a string of beads and wear them. The cut of dress-necks is doing much to disturb the regime of beads. With higher necks, something like Victorian jewellery is coming back again, though it does not necessarily have to be real. .Snorts dresses also demand certain neck adornments, which may be clasps rather than necklaces. The necklace wearer will do well to study what necklaces go with what necks, says an English exchange. Flat, elaborate necklaces are worn with some of the high-necked evening dresses. Turquoises have come back into fashion, less as beads than as flat adornments which may have brooch and bracelet to match. Becoming necklaces can rarely be made in a hurry. Stones or their substitutes have to be picked up. Half a dozen large, Hat turquoise beads, for instance, may be the foundation of a necklace which goes well with a high-necked black taffetas dress. A small, flat strap of turquoise beads may be woven which embodies these. As a rule, however, only flat beads go with flat beads. Very useful in linking beads together and giving them lightness are small, flat crystal rings. They go with almost anything. Lapis beads, especially of the gentifin-blue colourings, are being unearthed and put together with gold, silver, or crystal. Corals of the old kind eau often be used and sometimes in mixed colours. Generally speakiug, the wide, flat, spreading necklace is in vogue, and so are most of the stones, including garnets, jet, cameos. Those who have cameo bracelets, brooches, necklaces can remount these, having, where necessary, an extra loop of metal fitted on to them.
