WOMEN'S WORLD

Mrs C. Perry, of Palmerston North, has returned after paying a short visit to her parents, Mr and Airs 0. Ericksen, of Norsewood. Airs P. H. Alules, of 'Woodville, is visiting Napier. Alisses M. and C. Boddy, of Ivopane, are visiting Levin. Airs Knight, the nurse who has been in charge of Princess Elizabeth and Princess Alargaret Rose since their birth, lias become the leading light in a club for the “Nannies of Mayfair.” Once a week about 600 members of the “Nannie’s Cot Guild” meet at a quiet little London restaurant, when their charges are in bed and asleep, and talk over the charitable work they do for the famous Royal Free Hospital. They devise ways and means of raising money for the cots they have endowed at this hospital. Such a splendid idea 1 The delegates from Palmerston North to the annual conference of the Alethodist Women’s Alissionary Union at Wellington, opening to morrow evening, will be Alesdames T. R. Hodder, Randall and Pitt. Airs Hodder leaves Palmerston, North to-day and Alesdames Randall and Pitt to-morrow. The delegates from Woodville will be Alesdames Richards, Skinner and O’Brien, while those front Feilding will be Alesdames Taylor, Blamires and Aliss Alasters.

Following a recent decision of the committee of the Christchurch branch of the Plunket Society, the Karitane Hospital there will in future be known as “The Lady King Karitane Hospital.” The hospitals at some of the other main centres are named after benefactors of the society who have made grants to the various districts for the construction of the hospitals. None of them has yet held the name of the founder of this movement, and Sir Truby King has frequently desired that the name of Lady King and the work that she did for the cause should bo commemorated.

THE ROYAL TROUSSEAU

FOR PRINCESS AIARINA

Trousseau talk is much in the air in connection with Princess Marina at present, according to a London report. The Royal bride has always favoured London’s tailored costumes, and she has decided to purchase that part of her trousseau here. Paris will supply some of her dresses, and much of her delicate lingerie will come from Vienna, which excels in fine linen garments embellished with drawn thread, with finest pin tucks and broderie Anglaise. Silk under-garments will come from Paris and Alilan. A good deal of Princess Marina’s household linen will be decorated with the famous Serbian embroideries, and Danish embroidery, and the celebrated Greek cress-stitching will be prominent on fine bed linen and napery. During the weeks before the wedding, Prince George will give np his bachelor quarters at York House, which he shares with the Prince of Wales, and will go back to Buckingham Palace. His former suite there, consisting of eight rooms, is being redecorated in cream, and the windows hung with heavy tapestry curtains held by massive cords. The ten magnificent State rooms on the first floor at Buckingham Palace, which are reserved for visiting royalties, were got ready for the visits of the Princess Alarina and her parents, Prince and Princess Nicolas of Greece. Should the Princess pay less formal visits she will occupy the Princess Royal’s suite. The bedroom here is decorated with an uncommon green paper, with a plush surface. The curtains are of blue tapestry matching those in the Queen’s bedroom.

Several rooms are being set aside for the presentations and wedding gifts. Following the modern custom, the Princess has asked that as far as possible her gifts should be practical.
