The first stockings were undoubtedly made of silk, ami it is probable that the use of woollen yarn became popular when the stocking loom was invented in 1589, Cotton stockings were introduced later, as a substitute for wool and silk; but silk stockings were a luxury in pre-war days, and cotton stockings with lace fronts were verv generally worn in summer (states the “Manchester Guardian”). Stockings are now made of silk, wool, cotton, artificial silk, and mixtures of the last with cotton and wool. It is interesting to notice, however, that the once popular lace fronts are again being shown in silk, and it is very probable that they will soon be followed by the cheaper lisle thread. Lisle stockings are now being made in various qualities and numerous shades, and there is little doubt that they are gradually displacing the cheaper qualities of artificial silk. The objections to cheap artificial silk stockings are that they do not cling to the leg. are cold, and form unsightly ripples in Ihe front. Artificial silk can be spun finer than any other fibre and with the strength of lhe strongest. Experts tells us that it is linpossiblc to distinguish between a pair of artificial silk stockings that cost Ss. lid., in England, and a pair of real silk at the same price. Plated stockings, made with a lining of cotton or wool and an outer cover of artificial silk, are certainly warmer and more durable than those composed entirely of the nexv fibre. These have the appearance of silk and cling to the leg without the unsightly expansion at the ankle sometimes seen in cheap artificial silk stockings. The majority of the stockings made in England are seamless, shaped by reducing the number of stitches between the top and the ankle. The “full-fashioned” stocking is made in two parts, selvedged to shape, and seamed Seamless hose can be produced very rapidly, and most of the artificial silk stockings that are sold so cheaply arc made in this manner. The popular length of n stocking from Hie heel to the top is 2Sin., and most makers of good hosiery use an interlock-' ing device which reduces the possibility of laddering to the minimum. Laddering is not such a frequent occurrence as it ■was. even a few years past, and this difficulty has now been ..Imost surmounted. Hosiery manufacturers arc very enterprising. and, although the industry is an old one .there is no hesitation in adopting new methods, replacing machinery, nr conducting experiments. There is litlle doubt that the objections to cheap artificial silk stockings will vanish in lime, althoiieli if is only fair to state that these obieetions arc due to the demand for n bean quality, and are not in nnv way a reflection upon the merits of artificial silk nr (he knitting. Queen Victoria usually bought black silk stockings will) white tops and font, (’ream-coloured stockings wore also purchased. ns were all black, and those slookinL'S were invariably made by British worker’s.

Alarlborough. Ellen, only (laughter of Air. and Mrs. R. Stewart, of Bunnythorpe, to Jack Blake, elder son of the kite Mr. F. Williamson ami Airs. A. Alarsh, Palmerston North. * * * WEDDINGS. ' Air. and Airs. Niels Christiansen Nelson, residents of Alount Eden, Auckland, and formerly of Wellington, recent ly celebrated their golden wedding, and were the recipients of many congratulations from friends far and near. Air. Nelson was born iu Denmark, as also was bis wife, a. Miss Sorensen, but they have lived very happily in New Zealand since the early days, and were married in Wellington in 1878. Air. Nelson was in the butchering trade. He said he was one of the four butchers who. killed the first hundred head of bullocks shipped from New Zealand to England, and that was, he believed, in ISS2. The carcasses were shipped in the Lady Jocelyn, which had a freezing room. The experiment was a success, and was, of course, the beginning of an immense trade. Later Air. Nel son acquired property in the Hutt Valley and took up farming, removing later to Palmerston North, and then to Te Arolia. Later he went to Auckland. For 52 years he has been a member of the Manchester Union of Oddfellows, and is an active member of the Old Colonists’ Association. His hobby is the collecting of coins, and he is said to have one of the best collections in the Dominion. Mr. and Mrs. Nelson have four sons and four daughters, and there are fourteen grandchildren. # * * KNIGHT—MACINTOSH. The wedding took place last evening at St. Paul’s Pro-Cathedral of Beatrice Prendergast, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Prendergast Knight, of Bolton Street, Wellington, to Hugh Alaeintosh, of Wairarapa, late of England. The Ven. Archdeacon Johnson officiated. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a gown of ivory net hanilembroidcred in lace design, with narrow panels of dull silver embroidery. Long sleeves were worn, and the bodice came in points over the waist-line, finishing with narrow hem of plain net. She wore as a train an old veil of Brussels lace, a family heirloom, and over this a long tulle veil, falling from a headdress of tulle with lines of pearls, lilting tightly over the head. A shower bouquet of white Howers was carried. She was attended by’ two bridesmaids, her sister, Aiiss Jocelyn Knight, and Aiiss Margaret Kidston, of Christchurch. They were dressed, alike in frocks of cyclamen pink chiffon, witli petalled skirts of pointed godets, made very full, the bodices having draped backs which were tied firmly at the hips, and finished with a bow in front. Soft shoulder posies of the chiffon were worn, and on their heads were high bandeaux of silver leaves matching their silver shoesl They carried bouquets of shaded cyclamen.-The bridegroom was attended by Mr. H. Barnes, of Palmerston North, and Mr. J. Knight, brother of the bride. Airs. Prendergast Knight wore a gown of black beaded in a verticle design with white crystal beads, anil a large silk bow at one side/ Her hat was black with upstanding lace at the crown, and she carried a bouquet of shaded red Howers.

After the ceremony, which was at G o’clock, the wedding party, consisting only of close relatives, and one or two old family friends, were entertained to dinner by Dr. and Mrs. Prendergast Knight at their home in Bolton Street, and afterwards a few friends attended to toast Hie health of the newly-mar-ried couple, after which the bride and bridegroom left for their honeymoon, tlie bride wearing a three-piece suit of frieze and jersey cloth in flecked raspberry red, the jumper of jersey and coat of friez being trimmed with red leather in two shades, and a posy of leather at the shoulder. Her hat was of felt of the same shade. Later, Dr. and Mrs. Knight entertained a number of friends at the Adelphi Cabaret, where the evening finished with dancing. QUEEN MARY’S DAY. Queen .Mary of England dwells in marble halls, but her daily life is busier than that of the average typist who casts awestruck glances toward Buckingham Palace as she hurries toward the time-clock every morning. If the little typist knew it, her Queen has already been up for an hour or two attending to household duties (states a writer in an exchange). By 9 or 10 o’clock in the morning Queen Mary has probably dealt with more correspondence than the typist will handle in an eight-hour day. Her Majesty, 61 years old, is a tireless worker. There is no trade union to limit the hours of the Queen’s working day. She rises at the call of a maid each day at 7 o’clock. Much of her correspondence consists cf appeals for aid. After disposing of her mail Queen Mary turns to household matters. She is aii excellent housekeeper, and no detail of Hie huge task of running Buckingham Palace fails to reach her observant eye. Her sitting-room is turned into an office for the remaining hours of Hie morning, and there she receives her ladies-in-waiting, her housekeepers, her private secretaries, and even certain of her tradespeople. She gives her own orders and carefully checks the reports and expenditures. It is said that Queen Mary can detect the shortcomings ' of a careless housemaid without looking, liut her tact and kindness ensure speedy correction without injured feelings, and nowhere in her kingdo a could one find a happier or more contented domestic than that of the Royal household. The Queen usually lunches at home. The hour is one of the few respites in a crowded day. and is often brightened I>,. Hie presence of the' Prince . of ■Wales or Princess Marv. or of Hie beloved “Little Duchess” of York, who brings news of Hie latest sayings and doings of Hie baby Princess Elizabeth, to whom Hie Queen is a devoted grandmother. 'l'lie afternoon is generally spent in public work. She cannot enjoy the privilege of just running off for an afternoon at the theatre and .forgetting Hie petty irritations of Hie daily routine. England sometimes wonders why more small dinner. parties are not given at the palace, and why their Majesties do not accept more invitations to dine with friends. They sug--esf Hint the King and Queen ate unsociable in their tastes. Nothing is I’urther from the truth. Dinner time

is the one hour in the day that Queen Mary can spend quietly with the King. But the Queen’s hour is brief. A quiet evening with her husband by the fireside is seldom possible. State functions such as the Courts, State banquets, or receptions demand most of the Queen’s evenings until midnight. Sometimes she and Hie King are able to spend a night at the theatre, and these are happy events indeed, for the Royal couple are great lovers and very ‘ human” ones. Highbrow plays interest them less than a good musical sho' or a comedy, and both enjoy “thrillers.” Queen Mary shares with alt womankind a love of shopping. Wherever she goes, she slips away at the first possible moment to poke about little antique shops in Search Cf something for a particular corner of her home, ,r for her children or for a friend. Anyone receiving a gift from the Queen' nows it represents her Majesty’s personal thought.

There is much in the argument that we women should not encourage overmuch those sports which tend to exhaustion and displays of endurance, which make also tor emulation and the recording of stunts. Yet there are many pastimes, iu which we like to see success. Those that claim we should keep only to amateur standards forget that thoroughness is a quality which we are said to' be deficient in. The less reason, therefore, is there, to exalt its deficiency (writes Constance Clyde in an exchange). One likes to note, therefore, that Miss Snodgrass, of Rockhampton (Queensland), the only woman member of the rille club, recently won the Resell Shield; her score in the final was 750. Other prizes have been gained by her. Miss M. Butler was this year the highest in Hie ladies' fencing championship of Great Britain, this being gained by her after only one year’s practice. Nerve and skill again, rather than strength, is needed by the young woman, Miss Gerda Arezzo, wlw

assists the curator or the Adelaide Zoo in demonstrations regarding the habits of snakes. The strong nerve that comes from exercise must be possessed by .Miss D. Dick, of Portsmouth, the only woman signwriter and gilder of England. She works on the highest scaffoldings and buildings, evidently without concern. Xol everybody knows that one of the Duchess of'York’s favourite recreations what she herself calls “strumming.” The grand piano in the drawing room at 145 Piccadilly is left severely alone when she wants io play old Scottish airs to herself, and she retires to her pretty boudoir, where (here is a charming old-world harpsichord. This harpsichord has been in the Bowes-Lyon family for many years, and. knowing how her daughter loves its mellow tone, and how much she enjoys the half-hours she is able to snatch to enjoy her own music. Lady Strathmore had it renovated and gave i! to her. The Duchess is a most appreciative listener to good music.

SPRING FLOWER SHOW MR. G. F. BRAMLEY EXHIBITS CHAMPION BLOOM WAUGH AND SON WIN ALL OPEN EVENTS The Town Hall was a fragrant place yesterday, when the spring show ot the Wellington Horticultural .Society was held.

Air. D. C. Schlater, of Karori, showed an exhibit of very fine hyacinths, and Airs.
