A quiet wedding was celeDrated at the residence of Mrs. Gallagher, Orejtown, on Wednesday, when Mr. A. O. Rhodes, oldest son of the lato Mr. J. B. Rhodes, of Hawkes Bay, was married to Miss Hilda Gallagher, daughter of Mrj,. Gallagher, of Greytown, the Rev. Father Bowe officialin^- After the <eremony, Mr. nnd Mrs. Rhodes left on their motor cycles for Napier. The girls' hockey clubs nave come to a parting of the ways, and find it hard to settle themselves in "pastures r»w." After much amicable discussion, thj way has not yet been mado plain as tn thenwinter games, but no doubt some space will be found for them. Dr. Izard is their president, nnd he generally "arriveb" when he sets himself to do so. This afternoon at St. Thomas's Church, Miss Ethel Marion Fmily j Penny, eldest daughter of Mr. James Burton Penny, Xewtown, and niece of | tho Primate of New Zealand, was married by tho Rev. Walker to Mr. Machell Watson Munro, of Dunedin, son of Mr. C. J. Watson Munro, Monmouthshire, England. The bride was attired in a dress of white chiffon tafleta with lace trimmings, and wore a handsome veil of Brussels net, over 50 years old, in which her aunt had been married. The bridesmaids — iMisses Katie and Millicent Penny— were dressed in heliotrope silk muslin, with hats of deeper shade. Mr. Geoffery Withers acted as best man, and Mr. L. W. Hawkins gave tho bride away. After the wedding a family gathering was held at Mr. Penny's residence. Mr. G. R. F. Watson, Government Life Insurance, Napier, whoso wife and children were on their way to England in the wrecked steamer Pericles, has booked his passage to Sydney by theMoeraki. to meet Mrs. Watson and family at Melbourne. They will not continue their journey to England. Mr. and Mrs. Ginsberg and Miss Tof lock are at present on a visit to Wellington, to be present nt the wedding of their niece, Miss Dolly Berman, which takes place on 13th April, at the Synagogue, Wellington-terrace. Noxious weeds to the number of 103 varieties were collected by the school girl (Miss M. Bitmead) in tho prize competition at the Oxford A. and P. Show. A Press reporter staite* that the specimens were entered among the roots, but were at la*t found in the flower show tent. Tho next competitor, a boy, had given up his task when he had collectea thirty varieties. Would you liko to be' a member of the Council of tho Royal Zoological Society? Possibly, says a London paper. Would you like to do as they did, and have for breakfast eggs forty years old ? One peroeives the shudder of the sensitive nerve*. "Few of the members," we read, "could bo induced to ta*te the unknown delicacy." Our sympathies are^ wholly with the majority. However, it seems they were wrong. For those eggs came from China, and we are a«ured that after the lapse of forty years the Chineße egg becomes "a Kort of jelly of n very delicate flay. our. ' Thus does the Chinese hen lay for the future. We have heard of men who bouglit port nnd planted trees for their grandchildren. In China, apparently, (the man who wants to found a family always buys wme hens. No doubt th&*ense of responsibility which this long-lived egg must induce gives the hen a dignity and repose of manner much needed by their species. It is to be hoped that a strain of the?e Chinese fowls may soon be introduced into our own country. It would save much trouble and prevarication over the mean. ing of that sacred title "new-laid." The Sunday School workers of Masterton appeared to be much concerned when they heard that the Wellington Sunday School Union was in deit to its treasurer to the extent of over sixteen pound*. At the convention held in that town during Easter a canvas was made of the Masterton friends and visiting delegates and onough was collected to pay off the debt, thus enabling the union to start the year without this liability. The cargoes into tho Kaiapoi river last month formed a record for tho past thirty years. Tho two stcamera made ten tripE — I'ighc with ihcep and two with timber and coal. The child is heir to impulses and inclinations that will sprout like foul weeds, or flower out into lovely blooms of kind dispositions and generous affections. Childhood is the time of learning, and tho average child thirsts for knowledge. Music has a wonderful effect in helping in the upbringing of children, and every child should be taught music. Neither the cost of the piano nor the cost of the lessons can be regarded as barriers. Ihe piano — a good sweet-toned, well-built durable instrument like the Challen piano— can be purchased from tho Wellington Piano Company, Ltd., Lambton-quay, on very easy time payments. If you hear the Challen you'll buy the Challen. —Advt. • ; The troubles of washing day are reduced to a minimum when Lewis and Whitty's Square Blue is used.
