The engagement is announced of Miss Anmri .Rutherford, third daughter of Mr. A. W. Rutherford, formerly M.P. for Huruaui, to Mr. Eric Kunsell, son of the late Mr. James Russell. Baiunah Plains, Victoiia. Among the passengers who ariiVed by the steamer Manuka were the Misses F. and If. Lockwood. of Henty, New South Waks, who are on a few months' visit to their brother, Mr. 0. »T. Lock' wood, of Clyde-street, Island Bay. Mrs. C. W. Adams. Lower Htttb, i« hack from Auckland, where, on herwaj bark from Sydney, she spent a, month with her daughter, Mrs. Bnicer, of Parndl. M. Boeulv-s leaves this week for Auckland, en route to the South Sea Islands. The Huft Flower Show was— as, indeed, ifc always is— ll delightful atfait, and, notwithstanding the absence of exhibits from Mr. Chapman and Mi?. Hughes, whose flowers have gained many distinctions oad great admiration, there was much to enjoy nnd interest. It is a pleasant hall in which to hold a flower show, pleasanter to those who remember the Turkish-bafh atmosphere of tho smaller loom of bygone- years, cool, white walls fflakG fine settings' for the glorious colours, and there is room and to sparo to move about, while the stage made a delightful tea kiofk, and tho balconies pleasant resting-places. Among the many lovely flowers Mr. Harvej-'s were perhaps tho finest, his white cyolamens being of unusual size, and his mauve and yellow freeaias— ! though one loves the white ones best— exceedingly beautiful. The decorated tables were interesting, although one could wish thfe table-centre, with all its pitfalls as tc material and colour, were anathema. An exquisite combination of, forget-me-not and spiraea thumbergia—the name, gained by patient enquiries, may be wrong but sounds lm posing-=was spoilt by the rose-pink drapery," and a vivid arrangement ci japonic^ would have looked splendid in clear glass vases, set simply on the damask. His Excellency the ' Governor —"our horticultural Governor," as the president termed him-~arrived with Lady Islington, who was presented with a charming bouquet of rose cyclamens by a deaf little girl in a white muslinfrock and a daisy-Wreathed mushroom hat. The Vive-Itegal party were received by the president (Mr. Trcvethick) and Mrs. Trevethick, th© latter wearing a. pale blue frock, with lace { yoke and vest, and a black lace toqtio, with a narrow wreath of forget-me-nots. Her Excellency was in a. crimson coat and skirt, the coat faced with black, handsome black furs, and a burnt straw hat, with black ospreys. Among those who came from town were Mr?. Wilford and Mrs. Godley. Mm. and Miss O'Connor, and Miss Scully, Mrs. Easterfield and Mrs. Milward, Mrs. Grace,and Mrs. llolkston, 'Mrs. Martin Ken* uedy and Miss ' Kennedy. Very novel and instructive was the Maori lecture and concert given laat evening at the Y.M.G.A. rooms. The rceult« aro to send a Maori girl to the Victoria College. Certainly the affair, judging from the ciowded'room, wa3 very successful financially. It was as much a treat to watch the enthralled fices of the audience ac to s«e the quaint dances and listen to the weird songs of tha performer*. Dr. Buck and "Mr, Ngata are ideal promoters of an entertainment, and there was no dull or dreary moment. Quite charming waa the singing of Mrp. Pitt, who is a» delightful to look ab ac to listen to. 'It was an exhausting experience for the performers, and Sir. Ngata and Mr. Buck must be thankful tlteeo entertainments' happen only once in a while. Parliamentary labour* aro i child's play compared to these energetic demonstrations. Special mention was made by Dr. Buck to M. Boeufve, to whoe* efforts much of the success of the entertain' ment wad due, Mr. and Mre. Guise, both of whom were fascinated by the quaint novelty of the dances and 'songs, were with M. Boeufve. Lady Ward, Mrs. Cyril Ward, Mr. Cyril and Mr. Gladstone Ward, and Mr. and Mrs, Leo Buller were present. A successful dance was given last evening by the St. James' football Club at St. Peter'd Hall, which had been lavishly decorated^ a dado of white drapery bordered with crimson and green foha.gC) being carried round the walls, j crimeon shades veiling the lights, and the stage prettily arranged for the chaperones. On the supper .tables were set many spring flowers. The chaperones present were : —Mrs. Kitto, wearing French grey, with touches of heliotrope ; Mrs. Urqunart in black satin, and Mrs. Wright in cream, satin. The committee consisted of Mesdames Booth and Wright, the Misses Aetell, Donaldson, Godfrey, Howith, Ireland, Maeon, Thorpe, Wright, Me«Srs. P. Crewe.4, A. Donaldson, B. Gallagher, C. Halliday, Tai Hekita, King, A. C. Kitto, Linklater, J. Moffltt, W. H. Pollock, Roberts, F. SamaeU, and f . Wright. One of the prettiest weddings held in the Mutt took place at St. Jahifs's Church yesterday, when Miss Hilda Maude Cuff, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Cuff, was married to Mr. H. Gylos Turner, C.E., son of Mr. and Mrs. Win, Turner, "Dangarfielda," Queensland. The Rev. Joshua Jones conducted the service, Mi?B Harte presided at the organ, ftttd Mr. Cuff gave sway the bride, who wore an ivory satin gown with yoke and sleeves of tucked chiffon and trimmings of pearl embroidery. Shewore a wreath of orange blossoms and veii. Her beautiful pep.fl necklet was the bridegroom's gift, and her lovely bouquet— arranged by Miss Murray— \v,i& of the finest white cyclamens and delicate foliage. Mr. Darling was best man and Mr. Hutton groomsman. Her f ottf bridesmaids-"her eistef . Miss Averil Cuff, Miss? Welch, and two' lifctlo girls, Mies Freda Wilson and Mififi Phyllis Spencer— wore pale pink cloth frocks, j braided, and pink hat* with black and with black plumes. They carried black wand.* with pink and black streamers. The bridegroom presented the chief bridesmaid with a handsome gold bracelet, the other threo receiving tournalius and pearl wreath brooches. The church was prettily decorated by the girl frionds of the britls. After the ccrpmoncy a- reception was h^tt at the refti dT.c. 1 ' fit tha bride' 3 parents.

much more swing than on the preceding evening. At the end of the performance, Miss Campbell;, who instructed the children in their charming ballete, was called before the curtain and received a \ery handsome bouquet. Mrs. H. Marshall, Mrs. Edgar Holmwood, and Miss Briggs leave to-day for a trip to Australia by the Manuka, in company with their father Mr. C. A. Brings. Mis. Marshall will meet Mr. Marshall in Melbourne on his ictiun from Bi3ley. Orange cream perfiimed with crco sote and tart* saturated with naphthalene Were the cause of a lawsuit which a. Parisian pastry cook has jnst won agaiiibt the ,City of Park. When ilia work was begun of laying woodpaving in the street where hie chop was eitflk ted, M. Cbarabot, the pastry cook in question, resigned himself to the inconvenience until one customer after another returned to the chop with delicacifß which they declared uneatable. Dr. Metchnikoff, the eminent savani, called iv person to .«ay, "My dear sir, I arked for orange cream, but you have cent me creorote cream." Expert Ad- \ ice showed that M, Charabot'e wares *yore all tainted from the fames of the wood-paving outside his «hop, and the pastry cook llaa been awarded £?0 Is 10£ d by way of damages. The birth of a baby millionaire at a fashionable Fifth-avenue hotel, New York. wa« recently the newspaper topic of the hour, and the event was deemed so extraordinary on account of its rarity that the New York Herald began ite account with no fewer than fifteen headlines. It ie only s, few months ago that a fierce controversy Was excited by the statement of an t&nglish novelist that hot a single baby had been born in New York's Mayfair for two years (says the London Mail's correspondent). Subsequent investiga tion ehow'ed the noveliefe to ha.ye been too sweeping in his statement, but statistics proved that babies are not often met with in Fifth-avenue. This partly accounts for the ■excitement at the arrival of little Henry A. Alker, who ie destined to inherit the millions possessed by Mr. Andrew W. Boee. The babe is the first ever born in the Plaaa Hotel, and as a precedent to other millionaires' children lie occupies a suite of rooms costing £360 a month. Ac it is only three month* ago since a similar svent occurred at the St. Itegis Hotel on the- next block, the New York Herald seems to think that there is etill a chance of cradles and baby carriages becoming fashionable in the circles of the wealthy. At present, however, the lack of baby cftrriagee, although not of babies, is tho only point of similarity between New York's enst and west, and the old song crooned by generations of New York nurse* still holds good that : "On a hot day in the summer, when the bree&e blows off the sea, A hundred thousand children lie on tho Battery ; They come from Murphy's Buildings and their noise would stop a clock, There's no perambulators for the Babiea on our Block." Writes Sir Henry Lucy from London in his letter to the Sydney Morning Herald : "A lady shows me n. note from a well-known London milliner inviting her to a private- viow of what is dcFfribed as 'the most expensive hat in the world, specially designed for the Princess — .' I(, 'id added that 'the price of the hat is 200 guineas.' I ent>-po-se there ars Kill left in London idle women who will swallow this bait and the cup of tea giatuitotisly provided 'between four and five-thirty. 1 To a prosaic male mind this certainly seems playing a little low down with the divine sex." Like any other time of change, Spring is a good occasion on which to look around and talt« account of things, pa? ticularly of the good things about you. A potential power for good is the miteic of a Ghatleti, Rogers, or Allison piano, with its purity of tone and superior resonance. In looking round for good things you are reminded that the Wellington Piano Company offer to place one of theap. celebrated p : anos in- your home on *a?y terms of payment. A visit to the W.P.C. Showroom*, 124, Lambton-qtiay, would not be amiss at thie time,— Advt. FOR 810 WOMEN.
