The opportunity of this occasion was naturallv taken by many to bid adieu to Sir Thomas and Lady Mackenzie, as ! this will probably be their last public i appearance before they leave for New Zealand, accompanied by Mrs A. V. McDonald. They wore a charming host and hostess —the former wearing the sash of the G.C.M.G. and the Star of the Order, and the latter wearing black silk and the emerald presentation pendant.

Mrs McDonald was in white ninon. the skirt flounced with Brussels lace, and into the broad waistbelt of blue and 1 silver brocade was tucked a large pink rose. Every part of tho Dominion was represented, and among the early arrivals one could not help noticing the picturesque figure of the Bishop of Tonga, wearing shoes with silver buckles, and a large gold cross, which occasionally showed itself from an open coat-front. He attracted much intere.se all . the evening, and was in earnest conversation, first with the Dean of Dunedin, then with tho Bishop of Christchurch, and successively with numerous of the other guests. Bishop Julius and Miss Julius (the latter, wearing silver-grey ninon, with a pink waistbelt), were early arrivals; Lord and Lady Strathspey (the latter in black) were present all the evening; Sir Joseph and Lady Ward (the latter in black, with a fan of cherry colour) came in good time, and remained till the end; Sir Westby Perceval seemed to come across many old friends. Colonel and Mrs Myers (tho latter in deep pink charmcuse) wore looking well after their recent trip to New Zealand. There was a sprinkling of khaki, there were a few naval uniforms (one officer being Commander F. A. Worsley, D.S.D.), but, as a rule, the men were wearing ordinary evening dress.
