The rooms were charmingly decorated with bowls of arum lilies and masses of fragrant spring flowers. Nearly 130 women were present, and from the evening a very satisfactory amount of cash should be realised for the society’s coffers.

A WEDDING

BOW—WILSON White georgette, appliqued with silver lace, fashioned the bridal frock worn by Miss Edna Rowena Wilson, the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Robert Wilson, of Kowliai Street, Kingsland. when she was married by the Rev. Dr. H. Ranston at the Dominion Road Methodist Church last evening. The groom was Mr. Nelson B. Bow, the third son of Mr. and Mrs. C. Bow, of Edendale. The bride wore a veil of tulle over her frock and carried a bouquet of white flowers. One maid attended her, Miss Muriel Wilson, who wore a frock of lavender georgette, with an embossed skirt of pastel and beige lace. Mr. J. Stuart, of Mount Albert, attended as best man.

AMERICAN CLOTH

FOR CUSHIONS AND SCREENS Possibly the newest material for cushions is American cloth, recently recruited to fancy dress ball costumes and to furnishing. Gold or silver American cloth cushions, decorated with slabs of black and lacquer red paint, look extremely cheerful and ornamental, though for comfort sybarites might prefer a downy satin or velvetcovered veteran cushion that has been punched about a little. The American cloth, too, is used for screens. A particular example, seen in Paris, was of gold cloth at one side, and silver, painted with a geometrical pattern in gold, on the other, and was priced at 700 francs, or under £6. Other notable screens are of cream velvet painted in sepia, rust and bluegreen, with the bold, simple elements of decoration now so much liked. Fire screens that prove very attractive are painted in the style of Picasso and Marie Laurencin.
