Miss Stafford came back last night from her trip to Taupo, where she was staying, with Mr. and Mrs. Ledingham, in Colonel Mooro's fishing camp. She had an enjoyable time, the most exciting incident being her capture of a fifteen-pound trout. Colonel Moore t. largest fish was 201b, and he sent it to England to be mounted. The camp, a most luxurious one, was on the &hore oi Western Bay, on Lake Taupo, a most lovely spot. Close by was a Maori pa, nnd the Maorit, of that district are of particularly fine physique, and the natives were extremely friendly, calling the campers, at wonderfully short notice, by their Christian nameb, and generally appreciating their visitors. A rifle range \va& improvised, and great fun .resulted from matches between pakeha and native.

Carroll, of Waterford, Ireland, was -married !'ast week to Miss Lily Bointon, of Wellington. The ceremony was performed at St. Mary of the Angels, Boulcott-street, by the 11e\. Father Yenning, and the breakfast was partaken of at the residence of the bride's mother. i At a recent Laya shire wedding, the bride had twelve bridesmaids, all in white satin -frocks of Charles 11. period, with caps of lace and tulle veils. Theso were fdlowed by twenty little schoolgirls diessed like "Lancashire witches,'' as in Harrison Ainsworth's story. These later on formed a witches ring of good luck to the biide. The newest buttons — lo be much in evidence on Autumn coats and furs — aro large and square, and often worked with gold or jet. Charming buckles can bo home made by clt-ver fingers. The rhape is cut out in cardboard, and it should be remembered that, if it is for ;t hat, tho buckle should bo i'ery broad and either oblong or o\.-il. This is covered neatly with silk or satin, and then decorated to taste with silks, baads, or sequins ; a. Dairow piece of canvas or a broad hat wive coveied with the silk will form the bar, which, of course, is hidden by the drapery on the hat. A buckle of black velvet, studded with jet, is extiemely effective. In view of the many v.-ecldmgs that are rapidly drawing near, some girl with limited pocket-money but unlimited taste and neatness, might bo thankful for ( he following, suggestion for a gift : — It is a travelling pillow of dark linen, v. ith one side embroidered or appliqued in a bold Liberty design. On the other side ? second piece is sewn, and stitched thiough the centre, so as- t»> form two deep pockets. These are the greatest c mfbrt to the traveller, for into them she may slip books, a writing block, handkerchief, or veil. A strap should be sewn across the top to hang the cushion up. On Wednesday at the Wesley Church, Taranaki-street, Miss Beatrice Isaac, only daughter of Mr. W. Isaac, boot importer, of this city, was married to Mr. Charles Redgrave, of the New Zealand Railways. The bride, Mho was given away by her father, was gowned in white merve silk.
