Amongst the other members attending are "Mesdames Lambourne, Johnstone, andl others. "The next Royal engagement." writes our London correspond.nit before the, tact was announced, "hinti-rl at ill a Sunday paper, clearly refers to the Duke of York and iAdy Elizaleth Howes-Lyon, who were both dinner guests the other nieht of Mrs. Ronald fireville and for her ball afterwards. For some time people have coupled the names of these two young people, and his Royal Highness for the past two or three Highland seasons has been a guest at Glamis Castle, seat of Lady Elizabeth's father. Lord Strathmore. Rumour says, however, that the young lady has not been at all anxious to make a Royal alliance. It would be interesting if the next Royal engagement is associated with Mrs. Eonald Greville's house, for tie last one —that between Lord Louis Mountbatten and Miss Edwina Ashley—-was really tettled at Polesden Lacey, her place near Dorking." An evening wedding of considerable interest solemnised recently was that of Miss Amy Yarrall, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. A. \V. Yarrall, of Kensington Street, Wellington, to Mr. J. W. Sandham, of the Royal Navy, and son of Mr. Thomas N. Sandhnm, of Lancaster, England. Tlie bride wore a gown of silver lace mounted on pale blue georgette, draped and held at the wai6t with pale pink roses, from which fell panels of blue satin cliarmeuse and a coronet of blue and pink rosebuds and silver leaves veiled in pink tulle. She carried a bouquet of pink carnations tied with blue and silver ribbons. She also wore a diamond pendant and brooch, the gift of the bridegroom. The bridesmaids were the Misses Beatrice Price and Lilian Ellison, who wore frocks of white net embroidered with bine and pink rosebuds, finished with panels of pale blue satin. They also carried bouquets of pink roses. The Rev. Dr. Kennedy Elliott officiated, Mr. Percy Oughton was best man, and Mr. H. Fowler acted as groomsman. Mr. and Mrs. L. F. de Berry (sister of the bride) afterwards entertained a number of friends at a reception and dance, tlie house being beautifully decorated by girl friends of the bride. The future home of the bride and bridegroom will be at Devonport, Auckland. Christchurch is an English, and therefore a conservative city, but in many things it is far beyond other towns in the Dominion. One 'is tbe care of its women and children. It lias elected to the City Council Labour women who have advanced ideas about the mothers and the babies of the city being a valuable asset, and they have insisted on a rest room for their use. All kinds of conveniences are provided for the men oi the city, but the mothers, who are the most valuable part of a nation, are utterly ignored. Not so in Christchurch where Cr E. McCombs, wife of the labour member for Lyttelton, stated at a recent meeting of "the City Council that the rest room in the Square was quite inadequate to meet the demand Frequently the room was crowded out At present the room was only partly furnished, although largely used 'by mothers with babies and push carts. The women who used the room were must grateful for what the Council bad done for them. This has been accomplished in the Cathedral City by a woman mem her of the Council, wlio is all for tin !>enefit of the mothers and babies, anc dare not be denied. Last Wednesday afternoon in St George's Church, Takapuna. Miss Rub} Bates, seconil daughter of Mr. and Mrs G. D.
