Mrs. Park motored through from Wellington with her husband, Dr. Alan Park, for the big tennis match at Palmerston North on Saturday.

Mrs. Arthur Young, of Wellington came up to see her son, Russell, play in the Inter-provincial tennis match against Hawke’s Bay. Mrs. Young has always taken a great Interest in the game, her husband having been a a Wellington representative for years, while her sister. Mrs. J. C. Peacock was one of the best mixed and ladies’ doubles players in New Zealand. A breathless young woman put in an appearance at the play in the Opera House on Wednesday evening (states the Wanganui Chronicle), attired in a manner that did not altogether conform with the dignity of the drama. She was reprimanded by her parent for her late appearance and careless disregard for her mode of dress. The young lady, hovfevef, was nonchalant about the matter, and passed it over lightly by .explaining that she had been imprisoned on a boat that had been loading mutton in the roadstead. Also, she had had the exhilirating experience of travelling to and from the lighter in a sling. She had arrived back at Castlecllff just in time to catch a tram bound for the city that would land her at the theatre before the curtain rose. She added that she had been endeavouring to make herself a little more respectable by changing her stockings with a flrend. For all her plain beach frock, she apparently enjoyed the play to a greater extent than others of her sex. who had followed the dictates of fashion; more scrupulously.

Dainty art silk jumpers with fancy stripe design—half sleeves, Peter pan tololr, finished with tie ends, colours navy, fawn, almond and henna, were 27/6, now 15/6, at Collinson and Cunninghame's summer sale.
