Last week Mrs. P. C. Edwards cave a kitchen tea- at her residence, Williametreet, Upper Hutt, to Miss Ivy Butler, whose marriage takes place this month. Songs were given by several of the guests, and a very enjoyable time was spent. On Friday everting in the Engineers' Hall, a "farewell" has been arranged by the Ernest Parkes Concert Committee for the popular singer, who leaves on Saturday for Auckland. There will be music and dancing, and a presentation to My. Parkes. A quiet wedding took place in the Fetherstcn Presbyterian Church on Monday afternoon, when My. Henry Vincent Griffiths, of Auckland, was married to Miss Annie Franoas Busch, youngest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Busch, of Featherston. The bride was given away by her cousin, Mr. Upritchard. Miss Ethel Ada Millard,. cousin of the bridegroom, and the little Misses Irene Pritchard and Leach acted as bridesmaids, while Mr. E. W. Griffiths filled the part of beet man and Mr. Upritchard that of groomsman. The Rev. G. K. Stowell was the officiating minister, and Miss Baker presided at the organ. The marriage breakfast was served in the Oddfellows' Hall. The bride and bridegroom intend to reside in Auckland. At the Catholic Church, Pymble, Sydney, on 10th April, Mr. William Manleod and . Mies fJonar-O'Brien (tlie lady writer on the Bulletin staff) were married by the Bey. F. Bohan. The bride (rogoits the Sydney Sun) looked very stately and handeonvo in a •well-tailored ! suit of saxe blue t cloth ; the revers and pretty _ vest were relieved with Oriental medallions' j." a .smart black velvet hao j trimmed with black and white feather*. After the ceremony the bridal party motored to Paris House, where the wedding breakfast was held. They afterwards left on the first stage of the honeymoon trip, which will last at least nine months. An extended tour of the East, America, England, and Europe has bean, carefully ma-pped out. Tlie principal members of the Bulletin staff assembled and presented Mica ConorO'Brien (" Akenni ") with a beautiful pendant and slides of tourmalines and pearis of most artistic design, and a clever drawing by Norman Lindsay of bears on a ti-tree about to throw horse shoes after the departing ship, with all the signatures of the' donors. The Melbourne etafi! of the Bulletin sent a hand some, quaint brooch along. The design is an old chariot being drawn by daeh ing steeds, painted on black enamel, accompanied by a charming letter to tht> effect that Melbourne had been aiixiously searched for something trulj original for an original and clever writer. — Sun. At the Buckle-street Catholic Church to-day, the marriage was solemnised ol Mr. W. S. Pearce to Miss May Driscoll. The ceremony wa» performed by th« Rev. Father Ainsworth. Captain Trask gave hi« sister-in-law a-way, and M™ Hull acted as best man. The weddiny gown was of white satin charmeuse, with a ninon overskirt, trimmed with delicate embroideries in silver beads. A wreath and veil were worn, and a pretty bouquet of whits flowers carried. The ono bridesmaid — Mists Eileen Dnscoll, the bride's sister — wore white satin with a ninon tunic, and a mole hat with embroidery and pink and heliotrope flewora. She also carried a bouquet, and wore the bridegroom's gift — a moonstone and gold necklace. To the bride Mr. Pearce gave a eet of silver fox furs. Mrs. Trask, the bride's sister., wore amethyst ninon and at liat of tegal straw of the same colour, trimmed with, amethyst ospreys. A reception was held after at Captain Trask's residence in Ellice-ntreet. Practically every woman walks far too rapidly for anything like grace to enter, into her movements. A tail woman, for some reason, walks more slowly than a short one. Her elbows, shoulders, and hips move from side to eide. If you want to be graceful don't look at your feet, but hold your head well up in the air. Don't shuffle. A little tnoughtfulnees and practice in high stepping will soon break you of this ugly habit. Don't bend your back at the waist, under the impression that you are thereby walking erectly. Finally, don't allow yourself to walk " pigeontoed " — that is, with the toes turned in o^ straight. It is always hard to tell what to do with' the hands. The natural way, to have them hanging at the sides, or loosely clasped in front, is not beautiful. And to have them glued to the sides as far as the waist-line, ajid then bent in at the elbow, is not only awkward in itself, but elevates the ehoulders in the most unlovely way. Therefore, most women try to obviate th* difficulty by carrying something. One of the mesfe eccentric conditions in the will of the late Lady Meux has had a curious result. Lady Meux bequeathed £3000 to Lord George Cholmondeky, who is said to be' the most handsome young man in fashionable London, on- condition that he married a lady in society (writes a London correspondent). Every year "society" considerably enlarges, and becomes a more indefinite noun. The field of Mr. Cholmondeley's selection was, therefore, not difficult. It has faAlen_ upon Mrs. Starling, who was a prominent figure in a I divorce cane heard about two years ago

Two women wero strangers to each other at a reception. After a few moments' desultory talk the first said rather querulously: — "I don't know what's the matter with the tall, blonde gentleman over there. H« was sso attentive a while ago, but he won't look at me now." "Perhaps," said the other, "he saw me oome in. He's my huebaca."

by Lord Guthrie, of Edinburgh. Mr. Stirling, now on the Stock Exchange, bui then an officer in the Scots Guards, petitioned against his wife, and made Lord Northland co-respondent. There was a cross action, but Lord Guthrie granted a divorce, with the custody of the child of the marriage. Mrs. Stirling's petition made the well-known Mrs. Atherton the co-respondent in her suit against her husband. Mrs. Stirling came with hex- mother from America. She first appeared at the Gaiety in "The Earl and the Girl." Last year she was again playing at the Gaiety, in "Our Miss Gibbs." She is only about 27 years old. The bridegroom's father, Earl Cholmondeley, is a well-known Cheshire landlord, .and the hereditary Lord Great Chamberlain of Great Britain. Lord Rocksavage, the bridegroom's elder brother, will acb as best man. The family motto is a fine one for a newly -married couple, "Virtue is the safest helmet." The Cbolmondeleyb are of Norman descent. The first Earl took a leading part in promoting the 1689 revolution, and commanded William lll.'s horse grenadiers at the battle of the Boyne. Another Gaiety girl, Miss Danby, who has been appearing in "Our Miss Gibbs," was married this week to a well-known racehorse-owner, Mr. Abel Buckley, of Galtee Castle, Tipperary. There seems to be no place in the world to equal the Gaiety for securing wedding matches. Racecourses are no longer to be the sporting ground for new fashions (writes the Paris correspondent of the London Telegraph). Paris dressmakers have come to this decision after the woeful failure of the jupe-culotte. Auteuil and Longchamps are to be abandoned hereafter. v The field will be left free to the steeplechasers and flat racers, without any insidious competition from hobbleskirts and jupe-culottes. Fashion hereafter will make its debut on the stage, where handicaps and weight-for-age rules are unknown. One who was present at the meeting of costumiers where this momentous decision was taken states that it was absurd to choose the gravel-paths or board- walks of a racecourse for the debut of skirts to be worn at teas, dinners, or in a ball-room. Tailor-made costumes or walking skirts are alone suited to the enclosure of a racecourse, while the wind, dust, and rain have to be reckoned with. On the other hand, the theatre is just the place where a new fashion can be exhibited to advantage. Authors will be found to write plays, and pretty actresses to wear the dresses suited to the ideas of the Pwue de la Paix. Mannequins will be discarded altogether, and in future new costumes will make their debut worn by a r theatrical star. Mrs. Hettie Green, the millionairess, holds the controlling interest in one New York bank, whilst two married American women are telephone inspectors. They examine operating-rooms and offer suggestions for improvements, but their salary, £240, cannot be considered a liberal one, as the duties are very onerous. Both ladies served first as exchange and afterwards as travelling chief operators. The chief cashier of a New York national bank is a woman, and one of the directors and principal stockholders in the Lewes National Bank is a ±\li's. Dodd, who manages as well as owns several of the most prosperous farms in the vicinity of this bank. There is one woman bank manager in England, and her duties are confined to the womens' department. Now that, there is so great a number of women depositors and clients, banks and other houses will perhaps follow the lead •of America and Canada ' Tiie small and altogether inadequate salaries offered to clerks and cashiers by banks declaring princely dividends, and whose shares stand at such an enormous premium, however, appeal to few women, yet only- those who have, expert practical experience ,of banking would have any chance of obtaining leading positions on the staff of any enterprising bank much less a directorship. By the express desire of the King and Queen, -che, Princess Louise, only daughter of the German Emperor and Em press, will accompany her parents to London next May, for the unveiling of the Queen Victoria memorial, in front of Buckingham Palace (states a London correspondent). This young lady is stated to have been a great, favourite with her grandmother, the Empress Frederick, and she is very popular in Berlin, like her eldest brother, the Imperirl Prince, who lias just had "the time of his life." in India. Private as well as newspaper accounts speak of the pleasure which the Prince derived from his Indian tour, and of His Highness 'e manliness and amiability. Whenever he visits England he will receive a much more genuinely enthusiastic welcome than 'has ever been granted to his father. During their sta.y in London, says the Westminster Gazette, the Emperor and Empress of Germany will occupy the Belgian suite of rooms at the back of Buckingham Palace. Queen Victoria always devoted these apartments to the accommodation of her much, valued ad- ' viser (Leopold 1. of Belgium). Hence their name. The Emperor and Empress will only be in England for three or four da.ys, and so far as present plans ' reveal His Majesty will not make any public speeches. With the winter approaching, we all think of comforts to make the long wild nights more pleasant. Lovers •of music will be pleased to know an unusual opportunity to secure a Chappell, Erard, Knake, or. Spaethe piano will be offered during April only.
