Later, members wero divided into groups, each having a leader. Half a dozen questions wero taken for debate, and half an hour was given for each group to voice opinons on the different subjects. The afternoon proved ono of the most entertaining .and enjoyable that tile League lias hold. Somo of the questions, however, were considered too weighty for a good sound opinion to be given in the spaco of a few minutes.

MISS KENNERLEY RUMFORD’S WEDDING.

FOOTBALL DANCE

In a recent issue of a Sydney paper was a description of tho marriage of Miss Joy Kennerley Rumford, daughter of Dame Clara Butt and Mr Kennerley Rumford, to Major Claude Cross. The wedding took placo at Holy Trinity Church, Brompton Road, London, S.W. So much interest was evinced in the ceremony that the police had difficulty in controlling the crowd, and many women chased the car whch boro the bride and bridegroom from tho church. Novel features were that Miss Kennerley Rumford’s train was 22 yards long, and that all tho bridesmaids were dressed exactly as were those for the wedding of Dame Clara Butt. Their Empire frocks shaded from deep rose at the feet to palo pink. Tho day before the wedding tho bride spent at her mother's country home, near Oxford. Here Dame Clara allows no telephone, so that there was no disturbing element. The bride reached London by car at :an hour which allowed just enough time to dress. Colonial cities have not yet achieved the two-days’ festivities for a wedding. But overseas these are not uncommon, many brides holding their receptions tho day before. This method means the avoidance of much fatigue on the day of tho ceremony. RED CABBAGE PICKLES. Procure a firm, good-sized cabbage, and. after taking off any straggling or decayed leaves, cut it in quarters and then in thin slice?. Sprinkle well wtli salt and set aside for 48 hours. Then drain off the salt liquor which lias formed and pour over the cabbage a well-seasoned pickle of boiling vinegar; cover the jar until the cabbage is cold, then fasten tightly. Celery, cauliflower or any vegetable may be pickled in the same way. If preferred, the cauliflower may bo cooked in boiling water until tender before putting in the vinegar. SILVER FISH. Where you cannot use turps to keep silverfish away, such as amongst clothes, etc., a good plan is to sprinkle borax freely. It may also be sprinkled in sink-cupboards for cockroaches. SILVER WEDDING. A silver wedding- of considerable local and district interest was celebrated at Wellington, on Saturday last, the happy couple being Mr and Mrs S. Knewstub, formerly of Foxton. There were present quite a number of Foxton and Wellington friends and tho guests received numerous presents. The usual toasts were honoured, tho chief one of the evening being to the guests, Mr and Mrs Knewstub, and was proposed by Mr G. Owen in a very able manner, wishing the guests health and futuro happiness. Tho singing of Old Lang Syne brought a very pleasant evening to a close. —Foxton correspondent.
