Their Excellencies the Governor-General and Viscountess Jellicqe have extended their patronage, and will be present. The Commodore of the Chatham, with a party of officers, will also attend.

Watson, on behalf of Mrs. M'Bean, suitably responded. The Sydney-street Hall was charmingly decorated last night, when th© Star Boating Club held its annual ball.

An evening wedding was solemnised in Los Angeles, California, U.S.A., when Miss Violet A. Macdonald, of Wellington, was married to Mr. Clarence G. Amyes, of Christchurch. The marriago took place at tahe home of the bridte's parents, which was prettily decorated with spring flowers and orange blossoms, carrying out a colour scheme of pink and white.

The health lectures, which are being conducted under the auspices of the V.M.C.A., are rousing great interest amongst the business women of the city. At Dr. Mason's lecture last Thursday, various questions were asked by members of the audience on_ the subject of breathing. The public is invited to send in any questions dealing with tho subject of the lectures beforehand to S, Boulcott-street, so that any points raised which might not otherwise be dealt with may be treated. The whole trend of modern health study is in the direction of relying less on medicines and drugs, and more on the efforts of each individual. Although all realise this, it is difficult to know the directions in which such efforts should be applied, or the most economical way in which to set about it. The present aeries of lectures, by experts in each subject, will serve to clear up much misapprehension, and will • give business women positive knowledge of the best way to organise their lives so as to attain and keep in good health. The woman of leisure may try to attain health in the quickest and easiest way; the business woman must, because she has only a limited amount of time and energy to spare, and these lectures will give her the information which she needs as to how it may be done. Dr. E. H. Wilkins, Director of the School Hygiene Division of the Department of Health, is thp lecturer on Wednesday. He will explain the relative importance of diet in the maintenance of health, and give a simple outline of the main food essentials and common errors to be avoided. Lieut.-Colonel Hunter, Director of Dental Hygiene, Public Health Department, will also speak on the care of the teeth and mouth in relation to general health. He will show the seriimsness of the position at present, and will give simple practical. advice as to how dental diseases can Be prevented. The^Plunket Society is "spreading its wings" in a most satisfactory manner, and the results of increased health md comfort for mothers and children should be very considerable. The latest-formed branch is that of Eastbourne. The Mayor and Mayoress called a meeting at the I Eastbourne Council Chamber, and Mrs. j Hosking, president of the Wellington j society, gave an interesting address. The Mayor moved a vote of thanks to Mrs. Hosting, and said that there were, already many earnest and loyal supporters of the society in Eastbourne. It was decided to form a branch, the following to act: Mrs. Mather (the Mayoress), president ; Mrs. Jowett, hon. sec; and treasurer; Mesdames Giles, Heenan, Robinson, Palmer, Lewis, Urquhart, Hills, and Wright, the committee. Mrs. Hosking, on behalf of the Plunket Society, passed a vote of appreciation to the Mayor and Mayoress (Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Mather), to whose enthusiasm and interest the success of the meeting was so largely due. The engagement is announced of Miss Elsie D. Evans, youngest daughter of Mrs. E. A. Evans, to Mr. Richard George Underwood, only son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Underwood. Mrs. C. H. Taylor, M.A., is to b« the speaker at the Y.W.C.A. service for girls to-morrow afternoon. The rooms ars open from 3 p.m., and the service begins at 4.15. It is followed by tea, prepared by ji committee of girls. It is hoped that any girls who are strangers to Wellington, especially those from oversea, will come to both the service and the tea. The object of these Sunday afternoon gatherings is to provide for the girl whose home is not in the city, and who consequently has nowhere to go on Sunday afternoons, and who, perhaps, has no friends of her 'own age. At the service 'she will have an opportunity of finding friends,. and a warm welcome from all members of the association with whom she may come in contact. The Masonic Hall was quite too small for the number of Charley's Aunt Club members who assembled to bid farewell to Mr. Marcus Marks and .Miss Fanny Marks, who are leaving on a world tour. Mr. J. Culford Bell, president of the club, nstalled Mr. Marks chairman of the evening, the chain, of office being made of Brazil nuts and a medallion with a photo of "Charley's Aunt," with the famous black cat much in evidence. On behalf of the members Mr. Bell presented Mr. Marks with a large cabin trunk, wishing.both him and Miss Marks bon voyage and a safe return. Mr. Marks replied, thanking members for their kindness, saying he would always remember the many pleasant evenings he had spent at the Charley's Aunt Club, and on his return would look forward to many more such evenings. The musical programme for the evening- was most enjoyable. The following were the r>erformers: —Club orchestra, Mr. Reginald Blow, Mrs. 'Clin-ton-Hunt, Miss G-wen Shepherd, Mrs. F. J. Brady, Miss .Nellie Bosher, Miss G. Harbroe,. Mr. Barton, Ginger, Miss-Linda Carter. A very successful one-act play, "The Bugler," was also given. At the close of the evening's performance a reception was given to Mr. and Mrs. Pat. Hanna and members of the Vice-Regals, who are now appearing at the Opera House. Many dancers are, looking forward to the annual plain, fancy, and poster ball of the Evans Bay Yacht and Motor-boat Club, which takes place in the Town Hall on Monday, 3rd July. Quite a number of posters have been promised, and as the D.I.C. has the decorations in hand, a very-pretty scene may be expected. The Caledonian Pipe Band will, as last year, play- the grand march and Highland schottische. Continental supper will be something out of the ordinary, and this year will be in charge of an energeticcommittee of ladies, comprising Mesdames Hannah, Burbery, Grint, M'Lennan; Misses Wilcox and lies; Messrs. Hannah, Wilson, Harper, Burbery, M'Lennan, Hadfield (jun.), and M'llvride.
