Church, when Mies May Cooper, daughter of the Hon. Mr. Justice and Mrs. Codpex, married to Dr. Thomas (iilray, "of the Napier Hospital. The church, was decorated by the girl friends of the bride, and Mr. Maughan Barnetfc played the organ. The Rev. Dr. Gibbs performed the ceremony, and the bride was given away by her father. Her beautiful wedding dress wae of white ninon over chiffon taffetas, the deep hem and bands of silk being braided with soutaches, the vest being of silverembroidered lace, veiled with ninon. The train, attached to the shoulders, was of ninon over very soft satin, with ap-' plique6 of lace, exquisitely worked by the bride and some of her girl friends, in silver threads and crystal. The train was bordered with white fur. v A pearl coronet and a, cluster of orange blossoms, and a long tulle veil were worn, and an American shower bouquet carried, the long trail* of fioweie being tied with bows of tiny bebe ribbon. The bridesmaids, Miss Seed, from England, Miss Dorothy Turnbull, and Mitss Queenie Johnston, wore cream satin gowns veiled with ninon, the over-dresses bordered with white fur and Indian lace. Their hats were black velvet, slashed with ermine, and decorated with clusters of the same red berries as made up, with autumn leave*, their charming bouquets. They received from the bridegroom pretty silver necklets with, drops of turquoise. The bride's gift from Dr. Gilray was a handsome set of black fox furs, and from her mother, who is in England, she received a- beautiful musquash coat. The best man was Dr. Eric Marchant. Mi«.

Barnett, the bride's aunt, \vore a gown of 'black satin and a velvet coat, her pearl grey hat being massed with black feathers.

Watkins, was won by Mrs. P. C- Freeth. A wedding that created much interest in the district took place at the Otaki Maori Church yesterday, when Miss Kapukai, daughter of Mr. Mihaka Ka p'ukai, a well-known member of <he local Racing Club, was married to Mr. Teuira Naera, a Native of Rotorua.

Mr. Kate Kiriminita svas best man, aud the Rev. Tumuera. the officiating clergyman. The bridal party and guests left for Poroutawhao after the ceremony. The wedding cake weighed nearly one hundred weight, and was ten tiers high, each elaborately decorated. It is no exaggeration to aay that twothirds of the work in Portugal is done by the women. To them the Portuguese woid "mourejar" is really applicable, fcince in fact*they work like Moors or slaves — "mourejam." Everywhere (writes Mr ;> Aubrey F. C. Bell in "In Portugal") they work in the fields, and appear to bear the brunt of the labour. In one field the woman in tho heat of the day draws up bucket after bucket of water while the man sits perched in a shady olive tree; in j, neighbouring field a man watches six women at work among the- maize; in a third a group of women stand working in the summer tun while a group of men sit at tho same work under a vine trellis. Everywhere are to be seen women with huge loads of immense weight, while the men accompany them empty-handed. The man lies in. his ox-cart, and must havo a cigarro and a cope of wine or brandy after his hard day's work, or he'sita at his counter and bids his wife go out into the cruel sunshine to fetch a heavy bilten of water or other provisions. Women work in the quarries, women row heavy barges. Wherever there is hard work women are to be found.

The Pioneer. Club will entertain Misa Rosina Buckmaun to-morrow afternoon. Mi. Frank Blaadford, of the fire department of the Ocftan Assurance Corporation in Wellington, was married yesterday to Mise Winnie Pollock, daughter of Mi\ Pollock, who was for some years railway stationmaster at Thovndon. Mr. Blandford, who is to take temporary charge of the company's j Dunedin office, will leave for the South on Monday with hits bvido. The San Francisco Chronicle has a clover skit on the small dog craze, which as yet hais not reached New Zealand. It suggests that: A social register for dogs wouldn't be a bad idea ! Many society dogs exist solely for decorative purposes, and styles in theta offecte change constantly. Muffs with Pomeranian attachments were popular last winter, but may never again be revived, though no other class of dogs seems likely to be as amenable to this accessory of the Reason.' b uut>tunie. Mrs. Fred Kohl's tiny Pom wag stunning \vith sables, and Mrs. Frank Carolan wore her little black dog effectively with a set of superb lynx, though the combination was never as striking as that of its predecessor, a Japanese poodle that went co well with ermine. Innce Keeney's diminutive brown Pom hud a brilliant season, following its arrival | from Paris, and went everywhere with its mistress, though she made iio effort to match him with anything, but just wore him with dash and chic, the way shu does her clothes. - Cornelia Kempf takes Kimball O'Hara with her wherever j sho goes, and last winter wore him in Washington, where her costuming was confined to brown velvet that went ho becomingly with the apricot tones of Kimball O'Hara's fluffy hair. Harriett j Alexander's Pom was never worn, but was picturesquely effective at the end of a leash. Jennie Crocker's dogs, being Boston terriers, have never been worked into the details of her costume, and tire perhaps better known to her friends vicariously by the array of silver trophies through 'which they are represented while they travel in a* luxuriously appointed private car from one dog show I to another. Expensive funerals always mark the passing away of any of the pets of tho little Burlingame heiress. The beet-known Boston terrier in town is that of Mrs. Lansing Kfellogg, and he may well be rated as the Caar of the canine elect. Ethel Deane's black poodle, that boasted a most ornate hair cut and wa6 usually worn with a bluck velvet gown and a picture hat, was most effective — and society's regrets are- still keen over the passing of Sim. George Cadwallader's snow-white Spitz that she wore during a eeafcon with a white costume and white fox furs. Only two dogs have been formally presented to society —those of Miss Marian Newhall and Mrs. Oscar Cooper, who was Genevieve Harvey before her marriage. Properly beribboned. they had their place in the- receiving line when these girls made their debut, and upon this fact much of their social prestige has been based. Dogs seem not to be appropriate accessories for Bummer costumes, and while Angora cats are being suggested because of the harmonious effects poiuible, there is ijome objection on the ground of their being too temperamental. An Angora, driven frantic by tlie babel of an afternoon tea, and determined upon escape, would demoralise any reception, to say nothing of the disastrous effect upon the nerves of the cat. i , .
