The Inner side of every cloud i Is bright and shining. j I therelore turn my clouds about, I And always wear them inside out To show the lining. Mr. Dillon, M.P., and Airs. Dillon, of Hawkes Bay, have returned from Australia. The Hon. Captain Baillie and Alrc. Eaillie are leaving for a visit to Marlborough. Mrs. Wolterß, from Carterton, ia at the Grand Hotel. Air. and Airs. Ben Wilson are building a housa at tho Hutt. The team from Heretaunga that leaves on Tuesday evening for Christchurch to play in the women's golf tournament consists of AUsb Lucy Brandon, who stays with Mrs. Deans ; Mks j Pearce, who is staying with Airs. Humphries; Aliss Burns, with Airs. Allan; Aliss Tolhurst and Aliss Effie Stafford, with Airs. Palmer, and Alre. Lees and Airs. YVatkhis. They play on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the last day for the Islington Cup. Various arrangements for the entertainment of the team have been made, among them a dance on Wednesday evening. Yesterday afternoon, at St. Mary's Home, tho members of tho guild met to say gcodbye to Mrs. Wallis. A most interesting souvenir was presented by Airs. Coates, on behalf of the members, to Airs Wallis. "It was a charming album with a brown suede coyer, containing a painting of the beautiful view from one of the windows of the home, the signatures of the members -of the guild, and an illuminated address, as well as various photographs of the institution and its inmates at work. Aliss Lee's artistic taste was responsible for tho charming design and arrangement, and Alis. Wallis expressed much pleasure and appreciation. Another novel tennis match by electric light took placa last night at the Brougham Hill courts, the second that has been given. A number of players, some in fancy dress, entered, and found tho lighting excellent. Air. H. Arden and "Aliss W. Da-vis were winners of tho tournament, and Air. L. G. Butcher, who was a picturesque Scotsman, carried off the prize for the best men's costume, Alias Pearson's harem I skirt securing the ladies' prize. The engagement is announced of Aliss Lloyd Hassellj Wellington, to Air. T. Alartin, of Wellington. Air. T. E. Cook and Mies Jessie Cook, of Hataita-i, were passengers for Auckland and Rotorua by the Alain Trunk I Express to-day. ■ All*, and Mrs. J. Earle, who have been spending a few weeks at Greylown, re- ! turned to Wellington to-day. Airs. Livingston and her two daughters, of Waitahuna, Otago, have- been visiting Wellington, and are staying at the Windsor. They return home by tho Marama od Thursday. Probably the most talked of and most wxitten-of event in England recently has been, the christening of the heir to the Fitzwilliam title and estate. The small child destined to inherit a, rent-roll of £oOO,(XK) a year, wore a scarf during the ceremony which was given to an ancestor by William the. Conqueror during the battle of Hastings. Needless to say, the relic, though cf immense iiit-erctt, was not a thing oFbeauty, as it hung in soft, tattered yellow strands from ths child's gown. The great christening cake, which was over 4ft high, weighed eight stone. Apart from the hundred or co guests at the castle 7000 guests, tenantry, work-people, colliers, and villagers, assembled in the great park, where an ox was roasted whole. Three- hundred waiters were kept busily engaged attending to the vast crowd. The bread and cake consumed exceeded four tone, and two thousand gallons of beer wert* consumed. — Australian. . After the cutcry that is made about the dearth of the domestic servant in England, it is surprising to read that parlourmaids are quite superseding butlers, and that "Jeames"' is about to be relegated to the things of the past. A London writer deplores this new development, which, ahe says, has many drawbacks. "Is it fair," she asks, "to work to invade the territory where the man-servant has always made an honeat living hitherto? Butlers are beginning to search for work as hopelessly as coachmen and stablemen, and their affluence is quite a, thing of the past." It is rather amusing to hear parlourmaids accused of encroaching upon men's special sphere, and rather bewildering to -learn that "the home" is the rightful place for any man, even a butler, 'and that woman has no right there. Trooper Alilloy, a famous member of the Canadian Mounted Rifles, who was blinded by a Boer bullet at the Wilf oorb engagement in the South African War, was married at Montreal recently to Miss Jean Alunroe, daughter of a capitalist afe Seattle, Washington. Although the blind soldier has never seen his wife, it was a case of love at first sight. Milloy displayed gieal gallantry in South Africa, even after a bullet had destroyed the sight of both his eyes. He was given a great reception on his return to Canada, and the Governments and the public mado a big purss to Teward his bravery. During a lecture torn* he met the girl who is now his wife. He was also honoured in England, and King George, when Prince of Wales, presented him with 1 the service medal on his way back to Canada. After spending his honeymoon in Hie United States, Air. Alilloy will (says an -American paper) proceel to England, where it is expected he will enter political life. Great excitement was created in New York last month when the liner Amerika arrived by the report of the loss of 525,000 woriji of jewels belonging to Airs. Alaldwin Drummond, who was visiting the United States for the first time since her second marriage two and a half years ago. Among the passengers in the liner the magnificent jewellery of Airs. Drummond was the subject of comment throughout the voyage (writes a correspondent). Every evening she appeared in the Ritz-Carlton restaurant in the Anierika wearing an almost price- • less three-strand black pearL necidace made of 273 or 283 perfectly-matched pearls. "The necklace," to quote Airs. Drummond, "was so long that it reached to my waist." On the Saturday evening before retiring, Mrs. Drummond removed the necklace and threw it into a drawer of a desk in her state-room, together with a V-shaped diamond brooch with a black pearl pendant larger than a sixpence, and valued at £1000 ; a pair of black pearl earrings set with diamonds ; and a large black pearl ring purchased lecently in Paris for £1440. She unlocked the desk, over which was a placard warning passengers to deposit their valuables in the ship's safety vaults. The desk was only a foot away from the door of the state-room, which Airs. Drummond kept open, fearing, as

j she explained, "If an accident happened j to the vessel that it would lode and jam." On the following morning she instructed her maid to get the jewellery. "Ther-e is no jewellery here, Madam," replied the maid, after searching the drawer. Mrs. Drummond reported the loss, and the captain, Hcrr Kruth, ordered the crew to be searched. Mr. and Mrs. Drummond offered £1000 reward for the recovery of the jewellery. Mrs. Drummond inhe'ri ted £200,000 from her first husband, tho late Mr. Marshall Field, junr. Her maiden name was Miss Albertina Huck. The New York aldermen have refused to interfere with the "women's hatpin. Never before in the history of the city have the aldermen refused to interfere with something. Interference is thenlong suit. But those frivolous aldermen had a good time before they got down to a vote (reports the Argonaut.) The room was filled with women, and curiously enough, they all wanted the hatpin abolished or curtailed. 'There is a point in feminine psychology here that needs investigation, but time presses. Moreover, it is not a question of time but of eternity where the feminino psychology is concerned. Nearly all of thece women were prepared to prove — and simultaneously, too — that the hatpin is unnecessary, or at least that it can be denatured, like alcohol. The hat could be stuck on with glue, or fastened on with screws, or tli6 point of the pin could be protected with decorative buttons or even with the unassuming potato. Why there was one girl there with dreamy brown eyes, a brunette, with the most fetching little dimple just where a dimple ought to be, and a figure that would have made the Venus de Mild hurry for her underclothing. Sho was the third girl from the right on tho front row. and that girl had four hatpins on the port bow and three more to starboard, and not one of them visible. She proved it to AWerman Dou-ning, who is unmarried — or v:as ln£t week — and however closely he looked he could not see those hatpins, and Alderman Downing is not the man to take up a job like that and drop it halfway. He tried nil right, did the alderman, but it was no good. And then there was Alderman Campbell. • You can't deceive Alderman Campbell. He, has to be shown. Knowing that pretty girls are apt to be deceitful, he singled them out, and he just would see for himself. A pei feet bulldog, for tenacity is Akterman Campbell. Before the meeting was over the air was full of effervescence and hairpins, and of comsc Alderman Johnny White had to put on one- of tho exhibition hale and waltz about tho room with Alderman Hannfin. The gh'is ! wore gone by that time, or there would* have ueen no such unholy combination as this. Fancy dancing with an alderman.- As a result the hat fell off. and although there wero 432 patent pointprotected hatpins right there on the table, there was not one that would fit Aldeiman Johnny While. He had not the wherewithal. It was a smooth bottom and tho anchors would have dragged. And so woman will pursue her devastating career alid man may console himself with the thought that his head is "bloody but unbowed."
