BRIDGE EVENING

Mrs. R. O’Brien, of Devonport, gave an enjoyable bridge party last evening in honour of Miss Moira O’Brien, her niece, of Christchurch, who is spending a holiday in Auckland. Six tables were in play, and prizes were won by Miss R. Harley and Miss Potts. The rooms were prettily decorated with tall vases of tiger lilies and foliage, and crystal bowls filled with trails of dainty blue flowers gave splashes of colour to the supper table. Mrs. O’Brien wore an attractive gown of beaded black georgette, with motifs of rose and blue and a dainty hand-painted scarf. Miss Moira O’Brien was wearing a bouffant frock of scarab blue taffetas, with inset medallions of lace and ruched taffetas. Miss Kathleen O’Brien, who assisted her mother in receiving the guests, wore a dainty frock of almond green panne velvet, girdled with silver tissue. Among the guests were: Mr. and Mrs. Burrett, Mr. and Mrs. H. Warner, Mr. and Mrs. L. Delaney, Mrs. B. Thompson, Mrs H. R. Wrigley, Mrs. Mandeno, Mrs. P. Corbett, Miss R. Murray, Miss R. Webster, Miss M. Jackson, Miss Pilling, Miss P. Stott and Miss Creighton. BRIDGE AND MUSIC Mrs. I>. Goodfellow was the hostess at. a bright little bridge; part at Royal Court last evening.

Just as the great world copied her sartorial vagaries in her own century, so to-day she inspires the coiffeur’s latest effort. His creation, christened “coiffure a la Ninon,” follows the familiar conto\irs of that wayward little head. There is the same short cut to the level of the ear lobes.; and the same soft, loose curls. Every woman who can afford it is having her hair curled permanently, and intends tc keep up the process twice yearly.
