J i ' St. Paul's Pro-Cathedral was beautifully decorated yesterday for Miss Rawson's wedding. Friends had spent much trouble and exercised considerable taste to achieve the charming result, for the somewhat gloomy . interior is difficult to render attractive. , Palms and white fiowei-s were used generously, and in the chancel a laige white wedding-bell of flowei's was suspended. It was a violet wedding, the delightful quartette of bridesmaid's being a symphony in mauve, and the bride'fe mother wearing a lovery frock of violet velvet. Artistically arranged flowers, too, decked the reception rooms and hall of Mr. Rawson's house, where the guests gathered afterwards. Masses of lace-bark flowers were used with a delicately lovely effect.

The Rev. Mr. Sprott per- | formed the ceremony, and Mr. Law- | rence Watkins, Alus. Bac, officiated at i the organ. The bridal group was most I artistic and uncommon in point of colour £ and arrangement. The four brides- | miids — Miss Mildred Marchant (the I bride's sister), Miss Florence Bidwell I (her cousin), Miss Vera Fulton, and j Miss Elma Holmes — wore charming j frocks of brown felt net over bronze i silk. The material for these frocks f was specially imported, and the. narrow valeneienhes lace which ruffled the bodices and trimmed the skirts in arabesques was dyed the same tone. Only a touch of gold, a tiny neck-ruffle of champagne-tinted chiffon, and gloves of the same tone varied the brown, which was also the colour of the smart goldbuckled shoes. The hats were beautiful wide fine brown chips, each with four great bunches of exquisitely-made grapes — purple, green, pink, and heliotrope. Velvet ribbon of a delicate leaf-green was twisted around the crown, secured by a jewelled buckle at the back of the hat — which was turned vp — and fell in long ends to the hem of the skirt. They carried bouquets of roses and violeth, tied with green satin ribbons, the streamers having on them the bride's name, "Kitty," printed in gold. Each bridesmaid, too, wore the bridegroom's gift, a beautiful Liberty pendant, set with peails, on a delicate chain. The pretty bride looked charming in her frock of empress satin, simply but effectively trimmed with satin buttons and braiding in whits* grape cord. The back of the skirt, slightly Empare, fell in long rich folds, the front vrats trimmed with falling panels, laced together with fine silk cord, ending in knotted tassels. On the train, true lovers' knots were worked in silk cord. Her bouquet was of white roses, and she wore a very long plain tulle veil over a.jwreafch of orange blossom. Her only ornament was a lovely opal and pearl necklace, the gift of the bridegroom, who also 5 gave her aD amethyst bracelet. Mi. Marchant gave his daughter away, Mr. ■- W.

She carried a bouquet of pink cactus dahlias. Miss Marchant, from Dunedin, wore an elegant frock of saxe blue striped ninon over silk, the skirt opening over a sidp-panel of blue net, and the bodice trimmed with blue net and very handsome blue salk insertion.

At the reception Mr. 'W. C. Buchanan, M.P., proposed the bride's health, and Dr. Hay the health of the bridesmaids. •Mrs. Russell's tennis parties are much appreciated, and consequently it was with feelings of relief her guests of yesterday saw the vi-eather clear. iMns. Derry, who has recently come from Auckland to visit her nieces, the iMisses Beauchamp, was the guest of honour. Great interest was taken in the tennis tournament, of which the arrangements were excellent, everyone playing four times, each time with a different partner. Pointls -were counted-, and 'Miss May Jones was fortunate enough to win the artistic enamel and gold bangle given as the first prize, Miss Zaidee Nathan gaining the second, a charming set of Ruskin buttons. Mrs. Russell, wore a pretty frock of striped bine, and white silk, with cordings of velvet, and lace insertions. Mrs. Derry had on a smart black and white frock, and a wide, red -lined hat with velvet band and red plumes.

George Meredith's opinion of Queen Victoria, brought forth by the new edition of the 1 Quean's letters, is excellently expressed : " Altogether, a most noble lady, given fully to the business of her office, a true public servant, and maintaining in her high position, exposed to the fury of the winds of the four quarters, serenity with simplicity of character." In India, where young girls are now being educated, where women doctors are allowed to practue, where women lawyers like Cornelia Sorabji are encouraged instead of punished, where the abolition of child marriage is being urged by many Hindus— these things show that there' is progress, though slow. It is impossible to say that in India women are ' not encouraged in their efforts when such items as the following are true : In Malabar University Snmati Arama passed the lmguage examination for the degree of Bachelor of Arts. She wa6 a mother when she, some time ago, took the fine arts examination, and since then has been a teacher in the local girls' college. She is also co-editor of the 1 ' Sarada, a Malayalan literary journal. At th,e -same university, Srimati Chinmamrm, also a mother, has passed the recent first art examination, and has now joined the local boys' college to study for the oachelor of arts degree in the history and political* economy branch.
