The bride wore a gown of white crepe de chene, the bodice draped with valuable old lace, and a lace and silver girdle. Her veil was arranged over a Dutch cap of the same lace; finished with lilies of the valley, and the same pretty flowers were grouped on her train, and "were used with roses for th« bouquet. Miss Evelyn Myers was the bridesmaid, and wore &i& i pretty gown of shell v pink silk crepon, 'with lace and a silver girdle, and carried a bouquet of shaded pink roses. Lieutenant Vosper was the best man A large number of beautiful presents were given, among them being a silver tea and coffee service and tray from Fort Dorset, and a silver entree dish and hot water kettle from the artillery officers.

Mr. John Hopkins, who organised the Mardi Gras so successfully, writes from Sydney that he is organising a Queen Carnival for Allies' Day, and that the prospects of success are most encouraging. Miss Nellie Stewart is a candidate, and is nominated by the Paddington Municipality, and as she is a popular woman her chances are goad. The .police have chosen, the wife of the Hon. G. Black, and J. C. Williamson will nominate either Miss Dorothy Brunton or Miss Muriel Starr. The Tivoli people are probably selecting Isabel D'Armond or Vera Pearce, and the wharf labourers have chosen Mrs. Kate Dwyer, a prominent figure in labour circles. Miss Amy Castles has been asked to represent the undergraduates, and several other nominations of well-known »women are suggested. The Australian people have made such a generous response already to everything promoted for the benefit of their soldiers that the Queen Carnival is certain to be a brilliant success. The St. John [Ambulance Association is providing equipment for sixty-five beds on the Marama, therefore assistance from all who helped before, as well as from many more, is urgently asked for. Up to date all applicants for sewing to take home have been supplied.

Material for this purpose is difficult to obtain, and for only part of the required quantity £45 had to be expended yesterday. Eleven quarter blankets (coloured) will required for gowns — one blanket will make one gown. Gifts of these blankets will be welcome. The' work of the association goes on whether hospital ships are being equipped or not. " The last twelve months has been the busiest in the association's existence.
