SHOW AT NEW LYNN With choice rose blooms the predominating feature of New Lynn gardens, November was opportune for the holding of a rose show. The clay soil of the district lends itself to successful rose culture. Hence it was that when entries were called for a show under the auspices of the Anglican Church, the number and quality of the blooms made for the keenest of competition. The actual number of growers represented was 60. An exceptionally fine collection that attracted the attention of keen enthusiasts was grown by Messrs. Cutler and Meikle. Awards were as follow: Class I.—Six distinct varieties of roses: Mr. Munro, 1; Mr. Whitebread, 2. Class 2.—Three distinct varieties of roses: Mr. A. Jeffrey, 1; Mr. Munro, 2. Class 3.—Three red roses: Mr. G. K. Gilliam, 1; Miss Henderson, 2. Class 4.—Three white or cream roses: Mr. G. K. Gilliam, 1 and 3; Mr. Oaks, 2. Class 5.—80wl of roses, arranged for effect: Mr. If. J. R. Cutler, 1; Mrs. Jardan, 2. Class 7.—Collection of cut flowers, six varieties: Miss Henderson, 1; Mrs. Athol Boler, 2. Class B.—Plate of home-made sweets (children): Billie Power, 1. Champion Bloom in Show: Mr. R. A. J effrey.

At least 90 per cent of our fashionable hairdressers confidently assert that short hair, bobbed or shingled, has become a permanent institution, that it is going to remain in favour indefinitely. And yet ther are a few influential personages who think otherwise.

MARY’S St. Mary’s Hall in Parnell was gaily decked with festoons of rose-coloured flowers and graceful masses of foliage last evening, when the girls of the sub-committee of the Victoria League held a very successful little dance, and showed once more how capable and charming is the youth of to-day when it sets out to entertain.

THE VOGUE FOR A DEFINITE HEMLINE

Hems in a colour to contrast with the rest of the gown will be very much worn tliis coming season. In fact one might almost say that hems have •arrived,” so great is the attention paid to them. Skirts will be worn just as long as the wearer’s fancy dictates, but when they come to more than two inches below the knees they are carried out in some transparent material. A pretty frock of French voile in palest pink had a hem of powder blue joined to the skirt by a row of hand hemstitching and embroidered flowers. These two colours also formed the fichu collar, and were repeated in the shoulder posy. A little French frock we saw recently, that shows this new hem line, is carried out in plain and floral organdie, which is such dainty, attractive material that Miss 1927 would be advised to have at least one frock made from it in her summer wardrobe. A yoke of plain coloured organdie joins the tight floral organdie body, with a narrow piping. The floral material forms the rather full skirt, with the plain colour repeated in the wide hem, which is scalloped, and reaches to eight or nine inches from the ground. A narrow ribbon ties at the waist. A shady crinoline hat, simply trimmed with a ribbon bow and long ends, makes a charming finish to a frock for the hottest -ummer days.

. i JENSEN—ADAMS Four dainty maids, dressed in quaint little early Victorian frocks, attended Irene, the only daughter of Air. and Mrs. Thomas Adams, of Ascot Avenue, Remuera, when she was married at the Somerville Memorial Church this afternon to Thomas, the second son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Jensen, of Herne Bay. The bride, who was given away by her father, chose a delightful gown of palest blush rose crepe de chine veiled with rose embossed chenille georgette in a parchment tint. The charming frock was fashioned with panels of the chenille extending from the waistline up to the shoulders, while the rest of the bodice was made of prettily swated plain georgette. A rhinestone buckle caught the draped skirt at the waist, from which it fell in graceful uneven lines to form two long panels that dipped at either side of the hem. A long cloud-like veil of tulle was arranged under a high-fronted Russian coronet of orange blossoms, and cascaded gracefully in the form of a train. Ruffled into fine gathers it was lined with blush pink georgette and attached to a train of embossed chenille, and lent a dainty ethereal air to the bride’s toilette, which was completed with a sheaf of cream roses.

The four maids, th.e Misses Marie Jones, Mavis Wright, Leslie Bell and Nonie Wright, were dressed in frocks of rose-coloured taffeta, made on early Victorian lines. From tight little bodices of the taffeta bouffant skirts that ended in four huge scallops were arranged. In each scallop nestled a group of tiny silver rosebuds, that had their gleaming tint accentuated by the bows of silver ribbon that caught the big bertlie collars of georgette that finished the bodices. Streamers of the silver ribbon extended to the hem of each frock. Each maid wore a pretty, wide-brimmed hat of rose crinoline straw with a trimming of rose velvet ribbon finishing in a pert bow under each brim, and they all carried exquisite silver baskets of pink roses. The church was decorated with a profusion of beautiful roses, that shed their delightful fragrance everywhere. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. Paterson and the organist was Mr. Morris. Mr. Arthur Jensen attended his brother as best man and Mr. Ralph. Exton was groomsman. After the ceremony a large number of guests w’ere received at a reception in the Ellerslie racecourse tea kiosk by the bride’s mother, who wore an attractive gown of black georgette effectively embroidered in Richelieu design and further trimmed with gold stitchery. Under it was worn a slip of wild rose crepe de chine, and over it a coat of black georgette with gold embroidery and taffeta bandings. Her hat was of lotus rose balibuntal stx*aw with a rose osprey plume. Mrs. Jensen, the mother of the bridegroom, wore a smart frock of Spanish raisin crepe do chine with gold stitchery, and a black hat with handsome fox furs. Mrs. D. J. Wright, the grandmother of the bride, wore a becoming frock of navy blue georgette, under a coat of navy georgette banded with silk crepe. Her navy blue hat was trimmed with an osprey plume.
