A meeting of the committee of the Wellington branch of the National Federation of University Women was held on Thursday evening, Dr. Agnes Bennett presiding. One of the aims of the federation is to' promote international understanding and good will, and branches have been established all, over the world. Members visiting other parts of the world can be assured of a welcome at any place where a branch is established, and it is hoped the organisation will be able to assist graduates engaged in the teaching profession who wish to widen their experience by service abroad. The Wellington branch is drawing up a programme of activities for the coming year, and at a social gathering which is to be held shortly an announcement will be made of some programme for the year. In the meantime the attention of those interested is drawn to an advertisement elsewhere inviting women graduates to communicate with the hon. secretary, Mrs. D. Hall, S, Trelissick-crescent, Ngaio. fya. interesting wedding took place at St". Augustine's Church, Petone, when Miss Rubina Marguerita Mothes, eldest •surviving daughter of the late Richard Mothes, was married to Mr. Frank Baden Pickering, of Masterton. , The bride was "in a charming frock of primrose brocaded satin and chantilly lace. She wore her mother's veil and carried a bouquet of autumn flowers. Her bridesmaids, Misses May Mothes and Dorothy Pickering, wore dainty dresses of maize and lemon crepe de chine with autumn trimmings and tulle caps. Two tiny flower girls, Josie Hutcheson and Zoe Pickering, were in pale blue crepe de chine with posies of flowers, i Mr. C. A. Pickering, brother of the /bridegroom, was the best man, and Mr. Bert Mothes was groomsman. After the ceremony a reception was held at the Orange Hall, a large gathering of friends being present. In the evening the bride and bridegroom left for a trip to the North. | Attention is drawn by advertisement in this issue to the dance organised by the Territorial House Committee (Community Club), which will take place on Tuesday evening at the Navals' Hall, Jervois-qnay. It is hoped that the hostesses and friends will assist the committee by their presence at the dance, which is being carefully arranged for the pleasure and comfort of all guests. Much sympathy will be felt for Miss Gladys MoncriefJ, who has been recalled to Australia on account of the dangerous illness of her father. She left for Auckland overland yesterday to connect with the Makura. The Pioneer Club entertainments grow in size and popularity with members in a way that must be very gratifying to the promoters. The concert given by Mrs. Ginn and members of the.Singing Circle last night drew a record attendance. It was a delightful entertainment. The _ circle - gave concerted 'items, "Springtime," "Barcarolle," " Still as : the Night," and "Kingfisher Blue." Miss Carte gave a good recitation, and there were delightful songs by Mrs. •Ginn, Miss Price, and Mrs. Mitchell. An instrumental trio was given by the Misses Henry and Mr. Cecil Smallbone, which, with a violin solo by Miss Henry, were very popular numbers. A clever and well-rendered reading by Mr. W. Page's^ party was another much-, appreciated item. Supper waa served, and *> the evening was a particularly successful and enjoyable one. Miss Joan M'Gregor, of the Pandita, Ramabai Mission, Mukti, India, arrived by the Mararoa from the ■ South this morning, and will leave for Rotorua on Tuesday or Wednesday. [ The speaker at the'Y.W.O.A. service on Sunday will be Miss Dunlop, general secretary. The rooms axe opened at 3 o'clock, although the service does not begin till 4.15, and all girls will meet with a warm welcome. The service will be followed by tea, prepared by a, committee of girls, and the gather!^ as a whole affords a real opportunity for the lonely girl to find friends of'her own age. . | " The Lands and Survey and State Forest Service-held their monthly dance on Thursday in the New Century! Hall, and, despite numerous counter-attrac-tions, the halt was comfortably filled. The music, by Mr. H. Whiteman, wa_ all that could be desired, the catering was i efficiently managed, and a very enjoyable evening waa 6pent. Canon Taylor's first Thursday lunchhour address at the Y;W.C.A. was well attended by those who use the cafeteria, ,and also by several other business women and girls. Two short services were held, [ one during each lunch hour, and the times were so arranged as to. give ample opportunity for girls to get back to work. Those who attended the services expressed great appreciation of this new venture, and it is felt that by starting these midweek services the association is meeting a real need, which has been felt by many who do not find much time for religious thought and "quiet devotion in the stress of a business life. . The death occurred recently at her residence at Lyall Bay of Mrs.. Mary Main, widow of the late Mr. Alexander Scott Main, whom she survived for more than twenty years.. Born in the city of Limerick, Ireland, sixty-five years ago, tho late Mrs. Main, when quite a young girl, played lead with the Limerick amateurs, appearing with great success as Victorine in "The Miser's Daughter," Christina in "The Floating Beacon," Stella in "The Broken Sword," and the title role in "Aurora Floyd." For the last ten years Mrs. Main lived at Lyall Bay, where she led a quiet and retiring life, being always of a bright and genial nature, till she peacefully passed- away. Requiem Mass was celebrated by the Rev. Father Connolly at St.APatrick's Church, Kilbirnie, the children singing the favourite hymns of the deceased iady. _ Father Connolly also officiated at the interment at Karori. [Mrs. Main leaves an only son, Mr. John Alexander Main, a wellknown member of the Grand : Opera House staff, who will have the sympathy of many friends in his sad loss. •The next lecture of the Y.W.C.A. health campaign-takes place on Monday at the Concert Chamber, the lecturer being Dr. Wilson, of the Wellington Hospital, who will speak on "Health and Occupation, and Clothing." Those who have been to tho other lectures so far must hayo been struck by the number of popular- fallacies as regards health which are prevalent, and which they have learnt by these lectures to avoid. I The subject lesson by Dr. Wilson allows |of many such, and those who hear him I will have the opportunity of discovering which of various opposing theories that one hears freely advocated really is the ono which lias genuine medical ' suunort. ...

The thanks of the club are due to Mr* Andrew, who kindly gave the use of the studio for the occasion.

An enjoyable evening was spent this week at the Melrose Hall. A visit was paid to the district by the orchestra of the South Pacific Lodge of Druids, and, with their assistance, the community singing was a great success. Mr. E. B. L. Reade contributed several songs during the evening. The wedding took place at the Congregational Church, Cambridge-terrace, of Miss Edith Handley, youngest daughter of Mrs. and the late William Handley, of Baimsdale, Victoria, to Mr. John R. G.
