Speaking of. Miss Ellen Terry's arrival a Melbourne woman says:—“The very few who waited long enough" 'to see her have all the same story to: ‘tell of the subtle charm of the great actress.' Subtle, perhaps, is. hardly the word, since Miss Terry seems.to radiate a certain quality which wins her friends wherever she goes. She left the Omrah wearing a loose coat of soft black silk, and a most, becoming: soft black silk frilled black hat. As *she waited for a moment on the pier she was hardly visible for flowers. Mias Terry makes no secret of the fact that she has not enjoyed the voyage in the least. She is evidently a had traveller, and it is nothing but her insatiable interest in the world at large that has brought her so far afield. At her first public" appearance—a Mayoral reception—Miss Terry wore a loose cloak of black satin, trimmed with jet, over a flowing gown of hydrangea bine crepe de sole. A long black scarf heavily embroidered in gold was draped ■ over the shoulders, and a Istrgs black hat was ornamented with a lather mount.” Owing to an unfortunate mistake, Miss Terry's first lecture in Melbourne was not completed. After the scene in which Juliet takes the potion,, it is Miss Terry's custom to take five, minutes’ rest, making a short interval. This interval, after numberless curtain calk, the audience began to consider as the end. Flowers were brought tothe stage, and the people began, halfheartedly, to rise. This movement was decided by the playing of the “National Anthem” from the stage. The audience, with a general sense that something was wrong, steamed out, a few onlv remaining, sure that there had been a mistake. Finally, Mr Biascheck announced from the -platform that there had been a mistake, apologised for it, and said that it would not occur again. The • remainder of the audience then dispersed. The Basilica of, the Sacred Heart was crowded to the doors on ,Saturday afternoon, the occasion being the wedding of Miss Julia McKeowen, eldest de lighter of Mr and Mrs McKeowen, Pitarua street, and, Mr Jsmes Fitzpatrick, eldest son of the late Mr Thos. Fitzpatrick, a well-known- settle' of Koeke, Taihape. The Rev. Father Tymons, S.M., Adm., officiated. It is estimated that the attendance numbered SOO.
