Colour is the dominant note in the season’s accessories, but the day ol the matching accessory ensemble is over. Two, or at the most three, details are enough to give the correct colour tone, says the London Times. A coloured handbag goes with a small matching buttonhole of floweis or fruit. A coloured blouse matches the gloves and the narrow hatband. Floral printed handkerchiefs are worn with buttonholes to match and gloves in one of the predominating colours of the print. On a dark brown suit a bunch of vellow tulips is thrust through the waistbelt. Gloves in chamois yellow repeat the colour of the flowers and a bright green hatband takes up the colour of their stalks. A navy suit in light-weight wool is worn with a posy of dusty pink anemones which match the gloves and handbag. On a plain afternoon dress of black crepe a swathed violet waistbelt matches the large bunch of violets which is worn high on one shoulder. Another colour contrast is seen in the light hat with the dark suit, the pastel of the hat being matched by the lingerie neckwear. Crisp bows of pique in white or soft pastel colours are worn at the neck, waist, or wrists of drak spring dresses. Bows'of yellow pique fasten the neck and belt of a grey woollen frock, and on a black crepe dress the fullness at the neck and cuffs is. held in place by knots of pale pink pique. Waistcoats and neckwear to be worn with suits must stand high to the neck this season. Many-coloured veilings are often the sole trimming on the new spring hats. The new circular skirts are worn over taffeta petticoats, in plain, bright colours and in checks and stripes. Under a black taffetas dinner dress, which is cut on very full lines, there is a petticoat of embroidered lawn. The neckline and short puff sleeves are finished with collar and cuffs of lawn to match.

WEDDING. McDonald—stevens. St. Barnabas Church, Itoseneath, Wellington, was the scene of a quiet wedding recently, when Marjorie, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs J. Gwyneth Stevens, of Oriental Bay, Wellington, was married to John Clegg McDonald, second son of Mrs David Dickie, Palmerston North, and the late Mr John McDonald, Wellington. Rev. E. M. McLevie officiated and Mrs Metcalfe presided at the organ. The church had been prettily decorated for the occasion. The choir, of which the bride is a member, led the congregation in singing the hymns “Lead Us, Heavenly Father,” and ‘o,'Father All Creatine ” and a psalm. Miss Corahe Ellen sang the solo, “Where’er You Walk,” during the signing of the register. The bride, who was escorted by her father, wore a simply-cut suit of lido blue, with a smart velour breton sailor hat, and shoes and accessories to tone. Her bouquet was of pink carnations, violets and forget-me-nots. She was attended by her sister, Miss Gwynffer Stevens, who wore a navy Kuit with stitched velvet lapels and cuffs, oyster lace blouse and a velvet hat trimmed with a curled ostrich feather. She carried a posy in autumn tints. , - Mr Stuart McDonald, brother of the bridegroom, was best man. A small reception was afterward held at the home of the bride’s parents. OBITUARY. MRS K. H.
