Mme. de Cisneros's lovely gown last night was of pastel-blue charmeuse, with a tunic of jewelled gauze, showing on the left sido some exquisite lace gleaming with silver embroideries. The lace and gauze draped the square-cut corsage, and a most effective note was added by the knot and band of ' black Velvet at the back of the bodice.' There was a quaint narrow-pointed train that the wearer managed gracefully, Indeed, she is charming on the stage, her smile alone being worth a vociferous encore. She wears no jewels at all except a ring, und no gloves on her pretty arms.

D. Scott, of the local branch of " Kempthorne, ■ Prosser, and Co.. Ltdv:. was ■married,*, to Miss Elsie Ashbolt," 'youngest daughter of the late Mr. Alfred Ashbolt. Only the immediate relatives of the bride and bridegroom were present. The Yen. Archdeacon Harper officiated. < The bride, who was given away by her brother, Mr. Prank Ashbolt, wore a tailored coat , and skirt of sapphire blue cloth and a hat of tegal straw, trimmed with -blue .lancer plumes. Sh© carried an American shower bouquet, and wore earrings, and <a brooch, of aquamarines and pearls. Mr. J. D. Scott attended his brother as' best man. The bridegroom presented the bride with a diamond and turquoise ring. Mr. and airs. Scott leave by the Manuka to-day for a trip to Sydney and Melbourne. The- very newest fancy-work is done with raffia-ia glorified variety of the material we tie ofir lowers up with. An exhibition of the new art has been held at the Melbourne Training College, and the Leader says that the show was quite astonishing. With a few shillings' Worth of raffia pounds' worth of things can be made. Practically indestructible, yet beautifully soft and smooth embroideries, all sorts of floor coverings, borders for portieres, and even portieres themselves, are made from raffia. At famous French watering places dainty bathere wear raffia shoes and hats— neither ' salt nor fresh water hurts raflia in the least — while lamp and candle shades made* of raffia are equally in favour. The material takes dye admirably, and is so easily treated that even coffee and tea can be depended on to produce admirable shades of tan and brown. Added to this the fact that raffia is stripped from the inside of palm leaves and that palms are indigenous to North Australia, and the supply is always likely to be cheap and good, and you- see yet, another reason for encouraging the work. It can be woven, plaited, and curled in scores of ways, and the actual doing of the work is delightful. k Miss Gladys Ravenscrdft, the present holder of the Ladies' GGolff f Championship of Great Britain, is of opinion that the "ancient gamo" exercises a serious influence upon the characters of the girls ! who take it up. . "There is just that about golf," she said in a recent inter- | view, "that prevents all pettiness, jealousy,* rivalry, and the like. The wind playing about one, the far-stretching turf, and one's own healthful action are antidotes against such littleness of mind. I have always noticed the nice sporting spirit which reigns between competitors ; it has struck me repeatedly that this, if nothing else, is an all-sufficient argument in favour of sport for the fair sex." | A girl's attitude towards men, and towards the question of marriage, is also, according to the champion of 1912. largely affected by her pursuit of this healthy sport. "Once a girl realises the delight of the out-door sport, with its days of energy and strength, and its healthful nights of long, good sleep, with vitality and a sense of enjoyment, she fails to 'consider' marriage. One meets men who are pleasant comrades, and as such they are appreciated ; but each one as a possible 'husband — Oh, dear me, no ! You get your chance of realising life and .personality, and, best of 'all, learning to know yourself, which is a very important item in a woman's life ; and then, you know, when the right man does chance along, you have prepared yourself to recognise him. It is the choosing the wrong man in a hurry, that provides the ugly side of life." For this and other reasons, Miss RaVenscroft thinks that a girl cunnot begin golf too early.— -The
