WHISPERS OF EVE

BRIDAL BELLS

!» E ATRICE Prendergast- Knight's "* wedding is an interesting one, for while the Prendergast-Knight family have never been publicity-seekers, the doctor's pleasant-faced daughter is a very popular "Wellington girl. Wedding at St. Paul's, of course, and Bee very sweet m a gown of handembroidered ivory net, with glinting silver panels. She wore a train of Brussells lace which had been cherished by the family and handled with bated breath since the days of long i ago. Sister Jocelyn and Miss Margaret Ki.dston who is a Christchurch girl, took on bridesmaid roles, theif dresses being of petalled cyclamen pink chiffon, with big shoulder posies of the same material and high bandeau headdresses of silver leaves. Their bou-' quets were of shaded cyclamen and the bride's a dainty one of white flowers. The reception was a home affair at j Bolton Street' and later a dance was held at the Adelphi. The bride, who is now Mrs. Hugh Macintosh, of Wairarapa, left m a tailleur suit of rasp.berry red. . . , | • ■ . * ♦ #•' " ! EAT IT WITH MUSIC • MUST we really? The subject has "* already been tackled by many nimble pens, but our querulous correspondent feels that she must make herself heard — or perish. Proprietors of our few habitable tearooms seem under the strange delusion that. we sit down at their tables merely m order to do dire work among the cream-puffs. As a matter of fact, tea is at all times a social rite for womenkind. If aj woman sits down to tea with companions of her. own sex, she wants to unburden herself of the day's gossip. If . ' she has lured one of the stronger sex (so-called) into the pitiable state when he will take three lumps of sugar'in his tea and vow that he likes it, she wants to create the impression of reverent attention — "Yes, sir," "No, sir" and "Oh, sir,", style of thing. How can she do either, when she cant- tell whether her companion is whitewashing the .All Blacks or abusing the Government? A society for the prevention and cure of the pianotrope, that shocking hybrid between a saxophone and a phonograph, is badly needed. . A glad day it will" be, when we can discuss the cut of our neighbor's spring costume without being requested m a voice of thunder to lay some complete stranger's head beneath a rose. .
