Much enthusiasm was fehown on Thursday evening, at tTie Opera House, when Mr. Hugh Ward made his last appearance in Wellington as an actor, and Miss Palotta- said her audieux before she goes on her holiday to Vienna. Mies Palotta's gowns, as usual, were attractive, and one deserves special mention. It was made of broderie Anglaise. on the very finest cambric, and through the eyelet holes the ivory satin foundation shimmered. The hem was of heavil3' ribbed pique-, and little ovals of the same were applied at intervals along the foot, while the only touch of colour was afforded by tiny linen buttons of palest green put on in little clusters. With this was worn a wide brimmed cream tegal hat, with .a thick wreath of pink roses and a knot of black velvet at the side. Afc the Sacred Heart Basilica, Hillstreet, to-day, Miss Aimee Stella Kay, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Kay, Karori, was married to Mr. James Robert M'Clune, eldest son of the lato Mr. Robert JM'Clune, of "Grand View," Bombay, Auckland. The Rev., Father Peoples- officiated, the best man Vas Mr. Louis G. Kay, and the groomsman Mr* Leon Kay; There were two bridesmaids, Miss Nellie Kay, the chief, and 'Miss Doris Kay. The tirst -wore a charming" gown "of pale green meryeilleux satin," trimmed with lace and chiffon, and carried a shower bouquet of white flowers with green streamers. Her hat Was of black chiffon velvet with ostrich fedthers. Miss Doris's pretty frock was of pale pink Chinese silk; trellised with pink silk chiffon rosettes. , Her hat was wide and black, with ostrich feathers, and she had a bouquet tied with pink ribbons. The bride wore a handsome pale blue silk chiffon taffetas, with a tunic of cream net braided in silver, and decorated with true lovers' knots in crystal. The bodice was embroidered in pearl, silver, and crystal. Her veil was of hand-embroidered "tulle, and she wore a wreath of orange blossom and carried a lovely shower bouquet presented by Miss Cooper, florist. The bride's mother's gown was of old rose silk, with filet net and gold braid, and her hat was of rose colour to match. To the chief bridesmaid Mr, M'Clune gave a gold bangle, and to Miss Doris a gold and amethyst brooch. His %ift to'tne bride was a piano. Very many beautiful presents were received by Mr. and Mrs. M'Clune. They included a purse of sovereigns, a set of carvers, a case of silver serviette rings, and a silver entree dish, gifts from the bridegroom's fellowofficers of the Education Department. A reception was held later at the Hotel Windsor, and che newly-married pair left by the afternoon train for Rotorua and Auckland. The associates and members of tho Girls' Friendly Society met on Thursday to say farewell to Mrs. Wallis, their president. Miss Greenwood, lor the members, presented Mrs. Wallis with a travelling rug and a greenstone necklace and bracelet, and spoke in glowing terms of Mrs. Wallis's enthusiastic interest in the society. Mrs. Wallis feelingjy responded. A friend of mine, recently returned from Paris and Monte Carlo, gives the most startling account of the dernier cri in fashionable garments (writes a correspondent in the English journal Gentlewoman). The harem skirt has really and truly appeared in both places, though at present only worn by those with a decided taste for looking outre. For instance, I am told that at Monte Carlo the other day, when the most fashionable restaurant in the place was crowded with diners, a Parisienne stalked in arrayed in a wonderful striped toilette, quite without waist, minus even the covering of a tunic', and of the most pronounced harem type. With this grotesque garment she wore a gold toque with upstanding jewelled aigrette, a truly remarkable headgear, which ' was set rakishly on over one ear. The courage of the lady who appeared thus attired and walked unabashed up the centre of a crowded restaurant is surely only equalled by that of the gentleman who was her companion. And lam told the curious part of the incident consisted in the fact that, in. spite of every possible drawback, the lady managed to look tres chic and handsome. Far be it from me, however, to encourage any of my lady friends, or such readers as I have not the pleasure of including among my friends, to follow her example. Frenchwomen can wear garments, and carry them off, too, with an aplomb that ther Britannic sisters arc happily or unhappily born without. I doubt whether even the -broad stripes which are said to be the coming rage in Coronation year will suit more than a very few of my countrywomen. In conjunction with the Turkish trousers that are to succeed the hobble skirt tho effect will be indescribable. When the Parisienne I have mentioned entered the Monte Carlo restaurant^ I am told that every knife and fork went down, and all stared in amazement. What will happen ?f its English equivalent suddenly appears at the Ritz, or the Carl ton, or the Savoy 1

Mr. M. P. Coffin, purser of R.M.S. Aorangi, is: to be married on Tuesday next to Miss Geraldine Greenhough, youngest daughter of Mr. James Greenhough. of Mes'si's. Munro, Clark, Auckland. Miss Effie Young, who left Wellington last August on a holiday trip to England, has obtained a, secretarial appointment) in London, and has no present intention of returning to New Zealand. Miss Young has had several articles accepted in the Girls' Realm and other magazines. At the Kent-terrace Presbyterian Church on Wednesday Miss Helen Milne, second daughter ol Mr. and Mis. A. Milne., of "Denburn." Austin-street, was momed to Mr. W. A. Rvdev. oE Riwaka, Nelson, the Rev. J. Kennedy Elliott officiating. The bride >voic a. pretty white crepe de chene dresh, trimmed with silk lace and edged with white satin, and wore an embroidered veil, together with the usual orange blossom. She was given away by her father, and was attended by Misses D. . Milne and A. Ryder, who wore white spotted muslin and embroidered lawn respectively, with black picture hats, and earned pink and blue bouquets. Mr. J. B. Le Mottee acted as best man, and Mr. V. M'N.abb as groomsman. After the wedding a- reception -was held at the residence of the bride's parents, and was attended by a large number of friend^. The bridegroom'?* present to the bride was a handsome dressing-case, while each of the bridesmaids received a gold bangle. A large number of handsome presents <were received. JMr. and Mrs. Ryder subsequently left by train for Palmerston, where the honeymoon will bo spent. Tlfe Cincinnati Post reports the marriage of two New Zealanders who are now in the United States — Mr. Stanley Bowmar, of Wellington, and Miss M. A. L Hartley, the Dunedin artist. While in London Mr. Bowmar made the acquaintance of Mr. Joseph Fels, the famous American millionaire, who is {.pending- the millions he has made in the manufacture of the Fels naphtha soap in tathsTing ihe Henry George theory oi 1 taxation of land values in a/most every country oi the world. After travelling ! ior some time as secretary to Mr. YeAs, Mr. Bowmar joined the staff of the Fels i Fund Commission, which has its headquarters in. Cincinnati, Ohio. Miss Hartley, who has been studying in London at the Parisian Studio, Vauxhall Bridgeroad, for the last two years, went over to America, and the wedding took place on the 10th February. Lady Broome, whose death took place in London last month, will 4e well -evnembered in New Zealand as the author of a book "Station Life in New Zealand,"' which appeared in 1869; it was followed in 1874 by another publication, "First Principles of Cooking" — which led to her appointment as Lady Superintendent of the National Training School of Cookery, .South Kensington. Born in Jamaica, she was (writes our London correspondent), the eldest daughter of W. G. Stewart, Colonial Secretary there ; in 1852 she married Captain (afterwards Colonel) G. Pt. Barker, R.A., an officer who greatly distinguished himself in the Crimea and in the Indian Mutiny. He died in 1860, and his widow married, in 1865, Mr. Frederick Napier Broome, of Canterbury, N.Z. In 1875 Mr. Broome entered the Colonial service, and went successively to South A.frica and Mauritius. In 1883, having been created K.C.M.G., he received the appointment of Governor of Western Australia, and Lady Broome described her life in that colony in a book called "Letters to England. ' Lady Broome had been a widow since 1896, and at the time of her death she was in the 80th year of her age. She was a woman of no mean ability, and her books written for children have been very popular. It is recalled that Lady Broome used to tell how the Governor brought down to Christchurch some Maori chieftains, and how one of them, "faultlessly clad in correct eveu■"ng dress, but with tattooed face, danced with her. He never made a single mistake in any part which he had seen the top couples do first. It was a wonderful set of Lancers, and when it was over I told the interpreter that I was quite astonished to see how well Te Henare danced. This little compliment was duly repeated, and I could not imagine why the interpreter laughed at the answer. Te Henare was most serious about it, so I insisted on being told. It seems the poor chieftain had said with a deep sigh, 'Ah, if I might only dance without my clothes!'" It is now quite settled that Queen Mary will not be attended by pages at the Coronation, Her Majesty having expressed a desire that her train should be borne by young ladies (writes The Post's London correspondent). Six have been chosen, and all are the daughters of Peers. It was originally thought that four would be sufficient, but considering the great length of the train, the decision was come to to have a retinue of six. The- following have been ahosen by the Queen for that honour : Lady Mary Dawson (daughter of the Countess oi' Partrey), Lady Mabell Ogilvy (daughter of the Countess of Airlie), Lady Victoria Carrington (daughter of Countess Carrington), Lady Eileen ' Butler (daughter of the Countess of Lanesborough), Tiady. Eileen Knox (daughter of the Earl and Countess of Ranfurly), Lady Dorothy Browns (daughter of the Countess of Kenmare). It will be recollected that Queen Alexandra's train was borne by the Mistress of the Robes, assisted by eight Royal pages. But, in choosing young ladies of noble birth for the honour, Queen Mary is reverting to an older precedent. TO MUSICIANS. I'\ J.
