A MONTE CAItLO INCIDENT. During Sir Joseph Ward's trip across the Continent, the party, eleven in number, arrived one day at Monte Carlo, and straightway determined to visit the tables. On arrival at the door an imposing ollieial scanned them sharply and touched one man on the arm, saying in T’reneh that lie could not go in. Why '! Then came an apologetic explaimtion with much gesture to the effect that Monsieur must get himself another chemise. The situation was awkward and the ladies laughed and blushed, but the ollieial was obdurate, and the man, who, for travelling comlort, was wearing a soft shirt, had to sit on a bench outside and content himsell with the beauties of nature. Only starched shirts are admitted into the Gambling Paradise. Another member of the party had to turn the bottoms of bis trousers down before lie gained admittance, the reason given being that money might, inadvertently, or purposely, bo carried away in the fold. A Wellington girl, who had not as yet put her hair up, but was most anxious to see I lie gambling, turned her locks up for the day Otherwise she would have been leit outside with the man in the suit shirt. A BRILLIANT BALL.

Wellington children nre having at present a most dissipated week. Imagine tiny children of six and seven receiving three invitations, formal ones on cards—to dances. Sirs Mantel], Mrs Firth, Miss Johnston, all entertain juveniles tins week, and Mrs David Nathan's ianev dress ball took place in the concert room of the Town Ilall on Saturday evening. Is was ft combination off iir, children asked f cm seven till nine—though many of them stayed till midnight—and the elders c- mo when they chose, their progtftmmo beginning at nine o’clcek, and ending ]U3t before Sundry morning. The decorations were really magnificent—quantities of red, whilr, ond bluo electric lights, flogs at> ranged as trophies, nnd rod and whito draperies etching to tho centre of the ceil" ing like an Arabian tent, being used. At tho head of tho red carpeted slairoase was on archway and screen of folißge, set with tri-oolored lights, and thoro tho host and hostess received. Mrs Nathan waa a most brilliant figure, her hair being arranged most artistically in large pouffs, a thick curl falling on the shoulder. Liko all her older guests, sho vroro powder and patehos, suiting exquisitely her gown of thick blush-rose silk, draped with tinted jewelled lace. Her tir-y daughter, Helen, was in white lace and pain blue —a little forgot-monot. Tho children, in many varied cottumoe, were charming. Every nationality aod piofossion was represented—chirnnoyswerps, Tm M, fairies, Dutch women, Turbans, Juliets, a Duchess of Dovenshiie. and lftwyorn in plenty, and they formed ihe quaintest combinations. There were r,o wallflowers, for tho mites did not wait for introductions, and if they couldn’t go) partners, dai.eod or pranced by themselves to tho beautiful music, A ootiilon ty forty of the childreu was held e,t eight o'clock, aud the litllo guests, arraogod in p'za ! , marched up and bowed to their besto-s. and then led by ,’ittlo Agnes Dur can and her brother, wonderful littlo darcorp, certain ccti lon figures were geno thiough. Toy 3 were eorvod out in pairs, and a boy with a trumpet bad to fiod a gitl with tho sauoo, and danco with her. Two suppers woro sarvod, tho children's early, and (be "grown ups ” had later a meet sumptuous rc-pasS, all tho more appreciated because mimy of them cad a vc-ty early dinner. Tbo menu was most enticing, including corns wondei ful French dishes, while ohampagno was in great abundance.

Among those present was the Hon, Kathleen Plunket. who had just arrived from Christchurch that morning. She wore black figured net over silk, the bodice jetted, a pale pink crepe scarf being thrown across the shoulders. Capt. Braithwaite, who is an excellent dancer, is not yet allowed tu exert himself in this way, but the restriction will be soon removed. Mrs Dymock and her two sisters, the Miss Fells, looked very handsome in pale silks patterned with wreaths of flowers, and made with tiny boleros of ruffled lace. Mrs Goring Johston was lovely in white satin and a scarf of pale blue chifl’on, and Miss Thompson of Auckland, suited her pale pink brocade and clusters of roses. Mrs Ken Duncan and Mrs Abbott, (two sisters) had most elaborate headdresses on their very tall coiffures, one roses and large loops of pink satin ribbon, the other blue knots of tall ostrich plumes It was a most excellent ball, and at midnight—“ Should auld acquaintance,'’ was sung with great spirit, and Mr and Mrs David Nathan received many thanks and congratulations.
