No gloves were worn, and she carried a bouquet of real lily-of-the-valley. “The maids were in green and yel-- . low floral georgette with short-waisted coatees of» lettuce green taffeta, the same colour being carried out in the shoes,-necklets, and gloves. The hats were small green felt tricorne with sweeping green ostrich. fathers from crown to shoulder. They carried bouquets of yellow flowers. “The tiny flower-girl was in green organdie with green mittens, necklet, shoes, stockings, and cap. The whole < effect was refreshing and charming.” BACHELORS’ BALL. There was a very good attendance at the Bachelors’ Ball, held at Hikutaia last Tuesday evening..
