A Lady's Letter.

Wellington, Feb. 7, 1895. 1 We have had a very dull time since last I wrote, there being nothing gojßg on at all just now. On Monday night next the Williamson and jSJtasgrove Opera Company open their season here in the Opera House. Lfeei^ there is a great rush on the ticket* ftlteady, evea. although: the orcmf ■-■ Circle i* sß, which - seetofe to me enormous, however I am glad to say an arrangement has been made that* if twelve tickets are taken y for the occasion they are reduced to t^cly. Glasgow and party left last Saturday morning for their trip overland up to the hot lakes, and Auckland.* They are nqfc I believe to return to WeUingtori" before May. The younger members of the family are. staying at Lowry Bay until then. , ' . Lady Glasgow takes a great interest in the Mothers' Union, indeed I think it isaft^she. Who first established the Society in New Zealand the members

of which have now increased to a large number. One day last week Lady Glasgow^ entertained over 800 mothers at Government House, the lovely gardens were thrown open and a huge marquee was erected on the lawn for refreshments. _Later in the afternoon after Lady Glasgow had given a : very instructive address, the Bishop of Salisbury also saying a few Words j. a very enjoyable little programme' of music vt&B gone through in ihe«terg6 ballroom, those takin#||rflriv3l # em g c ladies August|»?Alic^al|3 Dorothy x»CJ A who /|^formed| % charming little trio $©rji&lini#ana piafldi ; ;MadaAe Merti^pis Williams andy Mrs W. A. Day and a very ai&lgtog tggjifttion was given by Mr A. S. Patterson. ."'• • The wedding of Miss Cara Russell and Col. Fox took place yesterday at Hastings* and was, I believe, very large indeed. It is to be hoped they had a 'finer day than we had, for it was both :wet and cold here yesterday. I hear that Col. and Mrs Fox intend living here for a few years, . and have taken a house in Thompson etreefc, Te Aro. SIGNA.
