The "At Home" given last evening fey the Wellington Arts Club was tho pleasantest of functions, and those who- were guests must have been much impressed with the usefulness and the privileges of the institution. It' has a president, Mr. Rayward, who is enthusiastic and eloquent, end a secretary and treasurer to whose tactful and energetic laboms much of the success of the club is duo. It -was. to show some appreciatipn of their efforts that the At Home was held, for a most delightful programme formed the preface to some neat little speeches, and two presentations, two silver entree dishes to Mr. Hackwoxth and an oak and crystal tantalus to Mr. Killick. who is, to the regret of the dub, giving up his secretaryship. Mueic and recitations were both most enjoyable, and it would bs difficult, where so much was good, to select any for special praise. After the concert, an adjournment was made to the pretty rooms upstairs, where there was a feast, nc-t only of art, in the shape of a collection of pictures of Mr. W. M. Hodgkins, once president of the Olago AH Society, but of more material matters such as cakes and coffee. The club rooms are artistically decorated, > and last evening were further beautified with prettilyarranged flowers, trails of lycopecThim, and.' deftly-made pink roses. The benefits of the club must be considerable to those who desire to be \v. touch with art and a-rttetSj and wno are anxious to 6tudy. There is a, model three times a week in the studio, and every facility given for improvement and encouragement. In connection with the club, there k a beautitying commilteo. and tho president, Mr. Rayward, earnestly besought members to do their best to improve our city. In Auckland, which he had juet come back from, they wert doing much. And 6hall Wellington be beaten by Auckland in the race after artistic perfection? Never! Some of the frocks were notably attractive at tho Arts Club At Home. Mrs. M'Villy, who, with Mrs. Montague, received the guests, wore, blue charmeuse and gold tissue, Mrs. Montague's gown being of black silk with deep berthe of lace. Mrs. Rayward was in pale blue silk and silver. A charming girl, with delightful colouring and masses of fair hair, banded with jet, wore a black, velvet frock and bands of blue jewelled embroideries. The girl who played the 'cello made a pretty picture, her da-iaty white frock with its bodice of ruffled lace and her bent head and dark hair, outlined against the scarlet flowers and green foliage that massed the mantelpiece. Another dark-haired i guest looked remarkably well in bright } blue chiffon over white, and another girl with her black hair arranged quite in accordance with the tenets of tho ' club, wore a most becoming peacock-blue cloth wrap, with touches of black satin. Still another brunette — they seemed to be in the majority last night — was in black, with a charming mauve coat, pleated on the shoulders and trimmed with embroideries. Miss Whitaker, the organising secretary of the. Girls' Friendly Society, wae the guest of honour at a farewell reception last evejfing given by the members of the society in their lodge in Vivianstreet. She leaves shortly for England. Representatives of different i branches in the diocese were present, | and much appreciation of Misa Whitaker's services was expressed by tho various speakers. Miss Coates presented Misa Whitaker with a purse of &ov- . areigna, expressing the regret felt at

losing her. The recipient, after tha-nk- I iug all present, gave, an address on "Responsibility." Tho Rev. W. Hobday made a speech, and music was provided by the Girls' Friendly Society Choir, directed by Madame Mueller, with Mrs. Lewis as accompanist. Supper concluded the evening. A letter of apology was received from Mrs. Wallis. The fete in 3,id of the Presbyterian Orphanage Fun-i, which is being held tomorrow in Mr. Winder's grounds at Lyall Bay, promises to be a great success. 1< ew people know what a lovely nook nestles there between the hills and the sea. The garden— laid out by Mr. Hayman many years ago — is full of surprises^ shady paths, little dells, tiny rustic bridges, glorious views from lawns and knolls, and a peaceful pool, where already, alas ! the first autumn leaves are lying. There are seats for the weary, pleasant shade, and wide open spaces where children can play. In addition to all its natural beauties, to-morrow there will be added music, a sweet stall, a flower stall, and a tea kiosk. Quite apart from the very deserving object of the fete, there ought to be potent attractions in the. delightful grounds, 'for the first time thrown open to the general public. At Waikana© yesterday, Miss Gladys Smith, eldest daughter of Mr. E. Smith, was married to Mr. Leonard Norman Burling, sixth son of Mr. Arthur Burling. The bride, who was nicely dressed in white silk, was attended by_ her sister, also in. white, as bridesmaid, while Mr. Napier, of Eketahuna, was best man. The Rev. M'Caw, Lower Hutt, was the officiating clergyman. The young couple were the recipients of many useful and ornamental presents. The honeymoon will be spent at Feilding, after which the young couple will take up residence at Hadfield, near Waikanae. Among visitors to Otaki are Mrs. E. T. Daniel and Mrs. C. M'Gill, both of Wellington, who were called to the deathbed of their sister and aunt respectively. Miss Casey, who leaves shortly on a tour of Australia, is also at Otaki, staying with her sistei, Mrs. Horton Bright. "The wrinkle that threatens the women of 1911," to quote an American i beauty specialist, "comes from too much thought, too much worry, and too much brain work. It is a wrinkle that encloses the mouth. The Parliamentary law wrinkle, again, is at the corner of the eyes. It reaches almost to the roots/ of the hair. The electric light ie one j of the' worst of this series of wrinkles; its cause is the regular use of brilliant electric light for prolonged intervals at a stretch. Women who take the chair at club meetings are pointed out as the chief victims of this modern affliction." In a recently-published interview this student of the human features declared that he could easily trace the causes of the wrinkle* in a woman's face. Tlie spectacle wrinkle, caused by too much knitting, had passed away, and its place had been filled by the law wrinkle and the shopping one. This latter bore the expression of gravo anxiety, and he translated it into "I've spent too much money." "It is not at all difficult," he went on, "to cut these fine lines on the human face. Women forget that threemonths of concentration over one idea will produce a wT.inkle that is hard, but not impossible, to eradicate with I careful treatment." "Women's faces in general have undergone considerable alteration within the last half century," said an English observant student of facial charac- ! te-risties. "Emotion is almost lacking fi'o'm many faces ; it would do some of our modern intellectual workers a lot of good if they_ would occasionally indulge j in what their ' mothers knew as a 'good cry.' .Emotion good for the face and i for the brain? Why, of coiu-ae it is! This same emotion, expressed in tears, laughtar, pleasant thoughts, kindly feelings passing through the mind, leaves its mark. The skin is like fine tissue paper, and folds just as readily. The | woman who has the wrinkle caused by i a emilo on her face is much more attrac- } tivo than tho one who goes about with that straight, hard line, . resulting from ii\cessant pondering over mental problems. The University expression is one that gives a distinct wrinkle, easily delected; then we have, on more frivolous faces, tho bridge wrinkle, the motor line, and, perhaps most distinct of all, j the speculation line. Women who are , anxiously watching the money markets acquire the same habfe as the intellectual worker. Lips are closed tight, drawn together so that the comers of the mouth cannot possibly dimple. Its j aurrounding dimples are too rigidly compressed. Both the expressions indicated, and tha lines which result from i them, are sadly deleterious to beauty. i "Music is a love as well as an art to j mos,t people." The passion is inborn in [ some, while in others it has been mii stilled during childhood. Fortunately for those of limited means musical propensities shown by their boys and girls j can be fostered, for the highest class pianos can be purchased on time payments. Noteworthy examples of these are tho ' Bluthner, Pleyel, Challen, Rogers, or Allison, which are shown by the Wellington Piano Company, 124, Lambton-quay. They are splendidly made insETuments, with beautiful tones. You are ...cordially invited to call and look over these pianos, when full particulars will be given you. — Advt. J.

"Doctor," said the sick man, "I'm afraid my nerves are in bad condition." •'Oh. no," replied the physician, -'that's not what is the mattery with you. The fact that you have soni: tor me after ignoring the statements I've been sending you regularly during the past year and a half indicates that your nerve's all right."
