On the marriage of Brigadier-Genera;. A.- Asquith, D.S. 0., son of the ex-Premier Minister, to the Hon. Betty Manners, daughter of Lord and Lady Manners, a guard of honour wes provided by New Zealand officers from Lord Manners' convalescent hospital, who formed an archway with their swords.

A member of tho Auckland branch of the Navy League, now in London, writes: —"I went to one of the Ladies Emergency Committee meetings, and they are doing grand work, both for the dependents and also the naval prisoners of war. I am proud to belong to tin. leaguo, when you see what is being done, and there is no doubt that any work the ladies do is appreciated as tho ladies here are. never.iir.ed.of praising the help they got from" "Auckland,' and so cur "ladies can be assured their efforts are doing good and being used in the right way." We (may now conclude that tho atraightness of the silhouette is fully assured, but at the same time this does not exclude the charms of drapery, says a London fashion writer. More especially is this true of evening frocks, for many a-re extremely elegant and ©how 0. goodly amount of embroideries, gorgeous tissues and glorious colouring from the Bast. Notwithstanding today's simplicity of line, there are some very beautiful and rich trimmings used in Paris for evening wear. Tissue or oloth of gold and silver are fabrics ever associated with the idea of magnincence, and well do the ingenious French couturieros preserve their inimitable air of chic simjpiioity, even when dealing with such beauteous and costly 6 tufl. As underdresses these coloured tissues are beautiful, rendered soft by veilings of tuill or. chiffon.: Her© aid there flounces are to be observed, and some of them are 'pronounced enough to suggost a protest against the narrow silouette. Still, these are exceptions, and not the rule. Close is much in vogue, both for day and evening wear. '

Referring to tihe conditions at Home, Mrs (Colonel) Parker writing to friends in Auckland, says that there is no chance of getting fat in England at present, but that they must not grumble, £or. after ail, it is not so bad. The children miss the sufficiency of fat, and she is glad her own are, safe in Now Zealand as the air raids are very terrifying, and the, noise of the anti-air. craft guns echoing in the empty, narrow, high London streets is almost as bad as the noise at the front, or so the sick soldiers told her. The falling pieces of shrapnel are also a menace, as it so often comes through the skylights and windows, and that no one can imagine the devastation the raids cause unless thoy have seen it. Mrs Parkes found, when talking to the men, that there was only one thing they did not wish to talk about and that was their tirme at the front, and her husband explained that ho quite understood, fox, after his many ghastly experiences visiting his casualty stations and going with his stretcher-bearers, he felt that he oouM not bear to recall tho siglils. In vouching on the presentation to the Queen, in which Mrs Parkes took part, she mentions that Her Majesty was accompanied by Princess Mary, a very sweeWooking girl, and quite simple and girlish to talk to. The Queen had not altered a great deal since her visit to New Zealand as the Duchess of York, and looked very little ojder. On the analogy of "Jerusalem artichoke'' it does not follow that "Go to Jericho" has anything to do with the place to whioh the British have now gone. The phrase ''Gone to Jericho" <"God knows where") has been associated (says the "Manchester Guarddan") with tho manor of Blaokmoro, near Chelmsford, which bore tho name. It iwas one of the palaces of Henry the Eighth, where he would often be lost to the world for a season in that pursuit of doubtful pleasures whioh is his chief title to oblivion. On tho qther hand, in days when the East was remote and vague enough, the plhraso may have had tho loose geographical significance that "Go bo Jericho" ("Go to the devil"), "Go anywhere in or out of the world-1 Jericho will do," seems to have had .from the first. TREATMENT OF THE COMPLEXION. How to preserve the delicate, soft texture of the skin and to restore it when impaired from illness or any other cause, is a question of paramount importance to u s all. Mrs liolleston's method of home troatnient proves by virtue of tho excellent preparations used, to be most beneficial and successful. Many testimonials have been received by her commending her treatments, including Madame Clara Butt Miss Irene Brown. Dorothy Brunton! Nanco O'Neill, etc. Preparations included in the outfit for the home treatment are similar to those usvd with so much success in her toilet rooms. The instructions are given in detail, and the use of the Virginian Massage Cup„ affords a pleasant and beneficial treatment.
