Go often to the hill-tops. From there you will see the mist la the valley of your mind.— Oyler.

The frocks worn in "The Gay Lord Quex" are very novel and smart, the most fascinating certainly being the rest-gown in which the Duchess vainly tries to recaptivate Lord Quex. It is of the loveliest shade of rose satin, draped over a petticoat of white lace, and has a daring note of green in a scarf that is arranged on the bodice, and appears again as a sash. Miss Lloyd's graceful figure suited this picturesque negligee admirably, and the rich colour was in contrast to the demure and sombre simplicity^ of Miss Paget's soft black gown, with its trim pleated muslin apron and dainty colour. Whatever Miss Paget wears she gives a charm to, and Sophy's black gowns — of fine material and graceful drapery — was always the most notable figure on the stage. Only in her satin coat was there '"a touch of colour — a petunia-red lining, that showed in thtf turned-back corners of the hem and in the revers. The Duchess wore a beautiful frock on her first appearance of wallflower satin, with draped tunic and bodice — a gown that went exquisitely with the artistic garden scene, and her evening gown was a wonderful combination of cream lace and golden broche, with hanging ninon sleeves. Miss Eileen _ Robinson wore white, as became the ingenue, in three acts, though in the first her gown of blue and purple, the skirt of the former and the bodice of the latter, was more peculiar than pretty. But in her white frocks — especiaUy the trained and draped white satin — Bhe was the daintiest little figure. A beautiful mole gown, with tunic crossed by a satin sash, and worn with a charming grey hat massed with plumes and with many knots of rose and grey ribbon under the brim at the back, was worn by Mrs. Jack Eden. Three Wellington girls — Miss Hilda Chapman, Miss Jean Perkins, and Miss Lennox — filled the parts of the manicure girls, and wore pretty gowns of blue linen and piquant little white aprons. The dance arranged by the ladies of Brooklyn last night was most successful, and at last night's committee meeting the sum of £17 3s was handed to the treasurer of the Patriotic Fund. The only item of expense was the renfc of the hall. The wedding of Lieutenant G. H. T. Glenny, of H. M. S. Pyramus, and Miss Flora Gordon, youngest daughter of Mr. H. A. Gordon, of Epsom, took place at St. Paul's Church, Auckland, on Monday, the Rev. C. A. B. Watson officiating. Miss Ruby M'Kenzie was bridesmaid, and Engineer-Lieutenant J. C. M. Boyle was best man. Among the other naval officers present were LieutenantCommander T. S. L. Dorrnan and SubLieutenant E. R. A. Farquharson. On Sunday afternoon the new creche — in connection with Mother Aubert's Home for Babies — will be opened by Coadjutor Archbishop O'Shea. Here mothers who go out working during the day may Jeave their babies, happy in the knowledge they will be cared for. An attractive feature of the building — which was designed by Mr. John S. Swan, and erected by Messrs. Campbell and Bourke^ — is the sunny playroom. The creche has sleeping rooms for babies, a large bathroom, and a wide glazed verandah for use in wet weather. All details hajVe been carried out with an eye to sanitation and economy in labour. At All Saints' Church, Kilbirnie, Miss Ruby Helen, eldest daughter of Mrs. Greeks, of Onepu-road, Kilbirnie, was married to William Henry Mulholland, eldest son of Mr. Mulhol'land, of Wellington. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Daisy Greeks,' and Miss May Mulholland, sister of the bridegroom, and two small bridesmaids. The bridegroom was accompanied by Mr. Greeks, brother of the bride. The bride wore a pretty dress of frosted voile, with pearl trimmings and silk lace, with the usual veil and orange blossoms. She was given away by her grandfather. The bridesmaids were dressed in white silk taffeta, with mob caps. A reception was afterwards held in the Maranui Church Hall. The Rev.

The piano used was kindly lent by the British and Continental Piano Company, Willis-street. The marriage of Miss Geraldine Martelli to Mr. Martin Luckie at St. Peter's Church yesterday afternoon created a good deal, of interest. After Archdeacon Harper had conducted the service Dr. Fyffe played the "Wedding March " as the bride and bridegroom left the church. The guests subsequently attended a reception at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Parker, in Boulcott-ter-race, where they were received by Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Liddlo (sister and brotber-in-law of the bride). The wedding table and dining room were decorated with clusters of Japanese cherry blossom and anemones in soft shades of pink, and in the drawing room were bowls of pale pink rhododendrons, Miss Cooper being responsible for the decorations. The wedding cake was a gift; from the bridegroom's sister.
