A woman's sinse iv humoui is in her husband's name. —Mr. Dooley,

LMis. L. H. 8.. Wilson left to-day for a visit to Christcinut-h. Mr. and 'Mrs. Denniston Cuthbertson, whose marriage look placo recently in Wanganui, have been staying at the Royal Oak, and left to-day for the South. Mr. ad 'Mrs. Chudleigh, who have been guests of Mr. and IMrs. yon 'Haast, have gone to Napier. IMr. Newman, 'M.P., and 'Mrs. and Miss Newman, who have- been staying at the 'Royal Oak, left for iMarton this morning. 'Mr. and. 'Mrs. Russell and their little son are staying at Day's Bay. Miss Vida 'Kennedy, iMiss Vida Bushlowe, and Miss IMilly -Mar-chant, are going to iMasterton for the bachelors' ball. Mu.fi Kennedy, who stays with Mrs. Vallance, returns to 'Wellington on Saturday. Mis. J. Hall, of St. 'Andrew's, Airs. Young, of Port Chalmers, and 'Mrs. V. Daurie, of Oamaru, who have been vieiting Wellington, staying at the Windsor, have gone to Auckland via the 'Main Trunk. '.Mrs. Pytl-Jackaon gave a most successful "parcel" tea on Saturday for Miss Ruby Orr, who is to be married quite soon. The rooms were beautifully decorated in bridal white and spring green — narcissi and snowdrops And delicate loliag& — the tea-table was particularly charming, a wedding-bell of white narcissi with streamers of gold and green 'ribbons hanging over the flower* and fairy lamps that were set on the damask. A competition resulted in much interest and 'fun, and was Won by Mis. Sievwright and iMiss Ethel Casey. Mrs. Grant, iMrs. Lambert, >Mrs. Pytl-Jackeon, 'Mrs. Kennedy, and 'Miss Staveley sang, 'and 'Mrs. Kreeft and [Miss Sievwiignt recited. The hostess's pretty frock was oi pale blue feilk with sleeves and yoke of lace, and Miss Ruby Orr wore a graceful pink silk. Mrs. Pytt-Jackson's sister, 'Miss Davis, \vore a white and violet silk, and 'Miss A. Davis champagne voilo. iMiss Nesbit, sister of Mrs. J. A. Pike, leaves for England in the lonic on Thursday. The weather, though cold, was fine on Saturday for Bishop and Mrs. Wallis's reception iti honour of the diocesan visitors. It was held in the concert room of the Town Hall, and the place was delightfully arranged with little tables, centred with late chrysanthemums and early wattle, the latter in full wealth of golden bloom, scenting the air with its delicate fragrance. The Bishop and Mrs. Wallis received the guests it the entrance to the hall, Mrs. Wallis wearing a pretty frock of silvere;rey silk, with lace embroideries, and carrying a most lovely bouquet of white lilies and mauve hyacinths. A string band on the platform played charmingly frivolous music, and it was most interesting to thread one's way through the crowd, discovering pleasant familiar faces — many under smart new hats — and interesting new faces, which a ridiculous etiquette" forbade you to greet. It is seldom al a. Wellington "At Home" one meets so many strangers. The crush was never overwhelming, though one woman, who was pent in between two "Merry Widow" hats and a busby with an aggressive osprey, compared it to a bargain sale. But men are not to be found at bargain sales, and yesterday afternoon they were present in large numbers, adding considerably to the pleasure and the comfort of t the women, for they deftly handed trays of tea through perilous paths. The "At Home" was altogether a most pleasant gathering, and excellently arranged. Archdeacon Sinclair declared at the annual meeting of the Domestic Servants' Benevolent Institution (London) recently that he Had never any difficulty in keeping servants. "If *I have any difficulty," he said, '"it is in getting them to go away, for they wish to stay With me for the rest of their lives. I make it a rule never to interfere with the work of a servant. Kaeh morning I write down on a slate what they are to do, and 1 never impose any censure. I like them to go out whenever possible and fen joy themselves as'much as they can." The parish priest of Nish refused to perform (he wedding ceremony for Peter Uolubovilch and Mara Hetnar in Belgrade Cathedral, because the bride wore a hat instead of the traditional veil. The shops being closed, il was impossible to procure a veil, and a substitute was finally improvised from a lace curtain. "Marry for love and work for silver" is apparently a maxim more honoured in the breach than the observance in Prance, observes the Paris Daily Mail. Mme. Madeleine Lemaiie, the accomplished artist, says she recently heard a young dowry-hunter declare that he would not marry any girl unless she had £16.000. He added cynically that her character, disposition, and accomplishments were unimportant- details. The dowry was the only thing that counted. Mme. Adolphe Bri-sson, wife of the eminent dramatic critic, says that one reason why the yonng men of 10-d»y insist on fiancees with money is that the expensive and luxurious tastes of the modern young woman cannot be gratified on a small income. Formerly a girl who brought her husband a dowry of £4000 Was considered very eligible, but to-day that amount is looked upon j hs insigiiifictmt. , M. Paul Marguerille, the author, laments the exaggeiated importance attached to the dowry iv France, and M. I Marcel Prevost, the distinguished novel- I isl, commends Ihe system of "love matches" obtaining in England. Jle and others mentioned are unanimous in hoping for the abolition of the "dot" in French marriages. To look youthful is' to feel youthful, and that's why every woman begrudges appearing a day older than she is — and rightly ho.
