All tli* wurrultl loves a lover — except som etimes tlje wan Hint's all th 1 wumild to him.

Mrs. Boyle, from Christchurch, is staying with her daughter, Mrs. Algar Williams. Mrs. W. Beetham, of Masterton, has returned home after a visit to Wellington. Mr. and Mrs. W. Kebbell, from Ngarata, are in Wellington. Mrs. Mead, of Christchurch, is visiting Wellington, to continue her musical studies under Mr. Lorraine. Mrs. Marchbanks was hostess at a very enjoyable bridge party afternoon yesterday. The rooms were bright with flowers, and the- table was artistically decorated with freesias and roses. The games were keenly contested, Miss M'Lean, who is staying witli her sister, Mrs. Wilford, carrying off the first prize, a silver flower-vase, and Mrs. Arthur Duncan, the dainty handkerchief given as the second prize. 'The hostess wore a pale blue muslin frock. At a committee meeting of the Pioneer Club yesterday afternoon, it was resolved to fix the opening for Saturday, the 31st of July, so as not to dash with the crowded engagements of the week previous. There are many more applicants for admission, who will,, now the rules have been passed, be balloted for. As soon as the rooms are ready — which will be before the opening — they will be at the service of those members whose subscriptions are paid. The Victoria students are to the fore in helping the unemployed, and are arranging next Saturday to repeat the bright little farce "Shackleton Outshacked" in the Concert Chamber, the proceeds to be given to the fund. The play is to be preceded by a programme by well-known musicians. - Some special ideas for wedding bouquets are being made by "Eonalds" — the well-known Melbourne florist. The trailing shower bouquet is out of fashion. Instead, is carried a large posy of white roses, fringed all round with maiden-hair, and tied with a wide lace acarf — another little item for. tho long-suffering bridegroom to furnish. Lilies of the valley are carried in sheaves, with a shower of little sprays of the lilies tied with narrow ribbon. Sometimes a delicate note of colour is introduced with pale-mauve ov green orchids. Scarlet holly, tied with scarlet velvet ribbon, forms a charming bouquet for a bridesmaid. Wretched weather has prevailed during^ the meeting of the Anglican Synod, ancl our clerical visitors will go away with a poor opinion of Wellington climate. It is no use telling them they "should have been here last week." However, under the circumstances, their stay has been made as pleasant and profitable as possible. Each afternoonMrs. Sprott has given afternoon tea at the Sydney-street Schoolroom, and this afternoon the Bishop and Mrs, Wal- | lis entertain the visitors in the Concert Chamber of the Town Kail. I The new coats are all fastened low down on the bust, are long, loosefitting, I and have flat, close sleeves. The button is still in eVidence, and notable for its size, and button-holes in the latest | suits are now worked in silk, but bound with a piece of material and then very neatly machine-stitched. A decoration of sevovaL of the new coats was a rouleau of the material pressed flat and woi-ked as a braid into a decorative design. Lxtremely fine serge is much in j vogue, and tilleul — a pale yellow-green — is a good deal worn. A very successful and enjoyable euchre party was held at the Hotel Windsor on Thursday evening, 160 guests taking part. Ihc arrangements were carried out by a conunittee, consisting of Misses V. Guise, C. Fama, M. Webbe, L. Doherty, and Mr. A. Amodpo (hon. secretaiy). The ladies' prize was won by Mrs. Burton, and the gentlemen's by Mr. Robinson, while tho "boobies" were won by Miss O'Mally and Mr. J. Prenderville. A plain and fandy-dress "At Home" in the Eastbourne Hall was given by Mr. and Mrs. Willoughby, of the Wairarapa, who, with their family, are spending the winter months at Eastbourne. It proved to be most enjoyable. Among the many pleasures thought of for the little folk was a Christmas-tree, fiom which each little guest received ;v present. The stall looked exceedingly pretty — the ceiling covered with foliage and filled with the many gaily-costumed figures. The supper-table was most inviting. In the centre was a large bowl of evergreens, and from this bands of coloured paper were spread. Mrs. Willoughby received ia a « handsome gown of black, relieved with cream lace. She was asbi3ted by Miss Fleming, who was attired in blue muslin. Many pretty and quaint costumes were worn. In the course of his interesting address at Karori on Chinese customs, Mr. Hwang said parents, sons, and sons' wives, their sons>, and their wives, all lived together in China, the houses being built in sections round a courtyard, and the utmost harmony prevailed. Several peculiar marriage customs were mentioned. Their boys and girls never become acquainted. Women must not go out to meet men, hence the' servant girl protlem was not so acute. It was decidedly improper for a woman to want to go out. In high circles, the wife did not receive with her husband gentlemen guests, and in entertaining the husbands and wives dined separately. Parents, in selecting a bride, considered beauty, character, and fatanding tho chief requisites. The young couple never came together till they were engaged, but after that an engagement was never broken. Similarly, while there were divorce laws, divorce was almost unknown ; it was considered most .shameful. Polygamy was practised, but was being considered by the Government, and there was a growing I feeling that in this also the example of the West must be followed. !
