SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

. Wedding at Bath. At Charlcoinbe Church, Bath, on April ' 5 (says "The Times"), the marriage took ■ place of tho Hov. Henry Bromley Maliug, vicar of Leighton Brouiswold, Hunts, 1 eldest sou of Mr. T. J. Maling, .of Meri- ' vale, Ohristchurch, Now Zealand, and Miss Harriot Emily Mostyn, daughter of • the Rev. tho Hon. Hugh Mostyn, of Somerset Place, Bath, and cousin of t Lord Mostyn. The bride, who was given ( away by her. father, was married in a gown of white satin charmeuse, trimmed ; with Brussels lace (the gift of her aunts, \ the Hon. Essex and the Hon. Kothorino I Mostyn), while a veil of the same laco J (worn by her mother at her wedding) covered a chaplet of real orange blosr som in her hair. She was attended by he* two nieces, the Misses Winifred and Marion Bowlby, who wore simple frocks • of white ninon with blue ribbon insertions and mob caps to match, -while their turquoise and pearl pendants were presents from the bridegroom. The Rev. Austin lo Strange (brother-in-law of the 1 bride), the Eov. D. G. Thomas, and a Canon R. B. Bullock were tho officiating . clergy, and Mr. Oliver Valpy was best .' man. . . • 3 , Comet Conceit. 3 It was Archbishop Whateley who said " he never got up early in the morning ! because if ho did it made him so con- " ccited all the morning, and so cross all • tho afternoon that he was really ■ unheal- £ able. What would have happened to tho ' archbishop if getting up early in the • morning he had seen tho comet one can 1 hardly imagine, but judging from tho ' way everyone who waked yesterday uiorn- | ing early enough to see the comet 1 chortled, aad rejoiced in tho fact, he would hav-> found himself in a very bad 1 case indeed. By the way, conversations . yesterday were nothing but a succession' of exultant queries: "Did you seo tho comet?" with, doleful, "No, I didn'ts,'' and then would follow a more or loss adequate description of ita glories, with a stealthy determination on the part of the listener . that she, too, wonld arise betimes on Tuesday morning, and set* whether this wore now really such a peacock of a comet as it is vaunted to be. Tho heavy rain of the evening proved damping to the greatest enthusiasm, but could not drown all hope, and it is safe to say that many alarm clocks were set for a dolefully early hour. Presentation at Carterton. Our Carterton correspondent writes that a very, pleasant afternoon tea was given at Dalefield, on Thursday afternoon last, by Mrs. Chas. Fairbrother, in honour of Hiss F. Scott. The guest of tho afternoon has been associated with the Carterton District High School for some considerable time, and on Thursday next retires from the service of the Education Board. Among those present were a number of old school girls, and all joined in heaping upon Miss Scott surprises in the form of parcels, which, when opened up, were found to be gifts of a useful and charming nature "for the house;'' On Friday, on behalf of the pupils of the secondary department, Mr. A. N. Burns, the headmaster, presented Miss Scott with a handsome salad bowl, and Mr. Miller,' for the junior class, gave her a travelling rug, both gentlemen spenking in high terms of Miss Scott and her work • for the school. Miss Scott is very popular with the children,, and their parents, and her departure is much regretted. The Back-Blocks Teacher. A typical case of tho education of children in tho back-blocks is related by Mr. W. T. Jennings,,.M.P. (says tho "Wanganui Chronicle").' ; . On a recent visit to his electorate Mr. Jennings canio across a young lady teacher holding a class'of eight children on the roadside. The' teacher remarked that this case of open-air teaching was compulsory, .as no school-house was available, and so day after day the children met on the roadside, for their tuition. Another instance of the lack of teaching facilities in the back-blocks is provided in a case of two girls aged 16 and H years, who, Mr. Jennings found, could neither read nor write; Obituary. Miss B. Paterson, dster of Mrs. (Canon) Webb died at Mts. Webb's residence-, Ormondville.-last Friday. Miss Paterson, who had been in very delicate health for some years, had been a devoted church worker, and took a lively interest in the Sunday-school, of which she was for many years superintendent. Memorial to Miss Sutherland. The many New Zealand friends of.the late Miss Sutherland, who spent so many devoted years caring for friendless children, will be glad to hear that a memorial stono has been erected to her memory by public subscription in the Melbourne General Cemetery. It was to be unveiled last Saturday by the State Treasurer, the Hon. W. A. Watt. This lady's ' memory will live in the hearts of many whom she has benefited apart from this ( tribute.' It is, however, fitting-that pub- ' lie recognition should bo given to such ' a public-spirited woman. ' Miss Phoebe Parsons has returned , from a visit to Christchurch.
