. FROLIC OR FRANCHISE ? . A NEW TYPE OF SEASIDE GIRL OX THE , SCENE. TOO EARNEST FOB .PUN.' Our old friend, the summer girl, ready to flirt with a nice boy for a week or two, and ready for real, healthy fun by the giiiu aea waves, has got a rival. The newcomer is very, earnest, and has eo i poor an opinion*of man that she will have nothing to do with him in a personal, way., but lor ail that she is getting hia attention, .and, sometime® his sympathy. The rival of the ,summer girl is the franchise girl, the dabbler in politics, the apogtle of .votes for women. Last year sue .'sold her weekly journal and gave-away pamphlets.

The arrangements for the forthcoming concert to be tendered to Mrs Sutcliffe are such as will ensure a mast successful entertainment. A very large number of tickets have beeri sqjd and tho promised presence of/the Premier and.

The concert. it. will. be remembered, is to take place in the Town Hall next Monday evening..

There is every, i indication of the garden fete to be held at tho residence of Sir-Joseph and Lady Ward on Saturday being a brilliant success. The affair, as our readers are aware, is in aid ! of rhe funds for the Boys’ 1 Institute, and the kindness of Lady Word‘in surrendering (he garden and ground," to the varied attractions of side-shows of all sorts (including of course the popular peep into tho future promised by sortie professor of occult ‘art) is sure t<v be appreciated. Tii truth only fine weather is needed to render the affair a delightful one, for we are promised good music to hear and good things to cat.’ Given sunshine, to show off our pretty frocks, and lots of friends to talk and listen to, what more do we want? 'Well,' put a sufficient sprinkling of men to prove their interest in tho men of. the future.

A. charming though quiet wedding, was that of Mr. Thomas Cameron; eldest son of Duncan Cameron, Esq., of ‘‘Marora,’’ Peatherstpn.. and .Miss Mary Bulkley, daughter of Richard Bulkley, Esq., which was solemnised in St. Mark's Church, the Rev. Mr Johnston - officiating. The bride, who looked . very graceful, was given away by her father, and wore a very Soft rich, ivory satin, and a. plain Hullo veil over a coronet of orange blossoms. The bridesmaid. Miss Dorothy Bulkley. sister to tho bride. , wore. a very pretty ‘pale, blue nin -do- soie- gown and a hat of pale blue and -whits with yellow flowers. The best man was Mr Allah Cameron.. .At the conclusion of the ceremony Mr and Mrs Bulkley received their friends af their residence in Austin street. Later in the afternoon Mr and Mrs T. Cameron left by motor, the bride going away in' a pale blue cloth gown and black'hat adorned with plumes. JJot the least. charming feature of tins quiet wedding 'was the beautiful flowers carried, by; the bridal party.. The bouquets .were all .made by .Miss Murray, oud that carried by the bride, was really exquisite. Lilies of, the valley were combined with white roses, and these Were Surrounded bv the quaintest fringe of true lover’s knots, in tiny bebe ribbon, while quite the newest jfondon fashion was apparent in the lace scarfq whoso light ends completed the "shower" effect. Tho bridesmaid’s bouquet, which .was also of the shower kind, was of pale pink roses and maidenhair fern finished with a soft blue scarf. Mrs Bulkley carried a lovelv posy of Marechule Neil roses, while Sirs Cameron’s posy of pale rose and lime dark cyclamens was a most effective bit of colouring. .
