It will be remembered that. Air Hobbs went out under contract with .T. C. Williamson, Ltd., io appear in their season of Gilbert and Sullivan opera.

Both were members of the Cuba street Alethodist Church, prior to entering tho China Inland Aiission, in which they have worked mainly atNingpo, Che-kiang province.

Ho late J. Cullimmc, of Oringi, was rnar--1o Mr William J. Dowling, of Foa»lierston, son of Mrs and the late a'. \ Dowling, of NVyudiium. Curious at inopportune nionient.s 1 have not inirequenUy endangered, th® diguitv of fisoUunn occasions. AYlmtever fe.slivi'iir* may attach to a wedding breakfast, or, in then* days, the njoro fashionable v.eddiug Mil/ycr, the religious poriiun of the marriage ceremony is always invested with a solemnity proper to d.s devotional nature. But oven here humour will sometimes obtrude. At ft wedding which was .solemnised in a leading city church Uio other day (says tins “Otago* Daily Times’), the officiating clergyman made a slight mistake in tue number of the* hymns, and as a result the astonished congregation found that instead of the familiar ‘ Voice That Breathed O'er Eden/' they had been asked to *ing “Courage, Brethren, Do Not Stumble. The timely intervention of a waU-hful organist averted what might have been an awkward situation, and tho congregation eventually lent t.bcir voices to the more appropriate words and air. Air and Airs C. E. Jones (Christchurch) and Miss Gwen Jones are spending a few days in London before leaving for bhrop« ■shire a«i*t AY ate* tsaid a correspondent oil Mav 18th). Sir Prvee I'iycc-Jones, who lives at Dolerw, Newtown, is a cousin of >lv Jones, who, with Air* and Aliss Jones, will be staying with him. At the London Air Station, Croydon, tho rate for hiring an aeroplane “taxi, carrying three passengers ui addition to the pilot, is to be reduced to 2-s a mile for night* at a moment's notice in any direction. Th© weekly dance notes in the London “Evening News” describe the walk .stop. The man keeps upright, leaning neither forward nor back. The. girl is in alignment. She follows—nothing more. ■ A lino drawn from one of the man's hands to the other is little off the horizontal; the outstretched left hand' and arm is slightly higher. The man’s foot comes down toe and heel, tint at each step lho girl keeps slight!}* on her toes; the man never rNew on hi.s. They take stealthy, long walk steps, scarcely ever putting in ; a elmssc, never spinning, occasionally making a cross step, right foot behind left. It sounds nothing; it looks beauTiful. *. The Earl and Countess of Powie are about the only people in London apart from professional folk who have their name on a brass -piaTo on their Trout door (sAys an English paper). This old custom lias fallen into disuse. The Poivia j family have lived for nearly two centuries in their Berkeley Square house. Larger and larger grow our hats —unless they are of the tiny turban variety—(says a Loudon fashion writer). “Timbo" is the muvoj straw. It somewhat -rej zombies crinoline, but. is slightly heavier, i and can be obtained in a variety of lovejly colours. One beautiful model in i orange has the brim bordered with a I narrow band of black, while the sole trimming is a' huge' chon of cixe black | loaves, surrounding a knot of cire black japonica blossoms, which is posed high on the centre front, of the crown. An enormous black model is untrimmedeave for a whole white Goura bird, the head of which is upraised on the front of the crown, while tho body and tail drape in a graceful line along one side of the brim. Alore than a year after her death A.Lme. Rejaue is being seen at British kinemaa in a screen version of Jean Richopiu'a novel, “Aliarka, the Child of the Bear/'’ The great French actress completed her part of an aged gipsy within the last week of her life. “Has Princess Alary got a new maid, or him her husband persuaded her into adopting a more modish style of hairdressing?” was the whisper that went round the stalls at Drury Lane the other night (eayo an English paper). Certainly the Princess is very rapidly coming into her kingdom as a young married woman, and is developing a charm and personality nobody suspected six months ago. Sydney papers meiVtion with praise Miss Ethel Morrison’s appearance as the Italian prima donna in “The Great Lover,” at the Criterion Theatre, Sydney. A Sydney paper says that visitors atthe Wentworth there include Mr and Mrs J. U. Ahickenzie and Alias BlairWhite, of New Zealand. Mias Grace Joel, of Dunedin, has had accepted by the Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh, her picture, entitled “The Adored Child/* For a picture to he hung by tho R.S.A. is considered to be a very special favour. Aliases O. and B. 'Paykel, of Alaunsell road, Parnell, Auckland, are visiting their brother in Wellington. Airs Oldham, of Dunedin, who has been the guest of her sister, Airs Tewsley, Parnell, Auckland, leaves by the Niagara for Vancouver next week. Mr and Mrs A. S. Bankart, who have been visiting England, left Vancouver by tho Aiakura on June 10th, on then* return to Auckland. Mr and Airs R. H. EQlis, of this city, left for England by the Niagara. from Auckland yesterday. An old colonist passed away last Saturday iu the person of Aliss Rebecca May, , at the' residence of her brother-in-law, Mr W. 11. Jamed, of Pukckohe, Auckland. Miss AXay was the eldest daughter of the late Air Anthony May, and was born in Cornwall. She arrived in Auckland in by the ship Queen of the North, and had resided in the district ever since. Her father died at the age of 94, while her maternal grandmother had attained the age of 101 at the time of her death. The staff of Messrs ICirkcaldie and ■Stains are holding a dance in the Concert Chamber next week. Mrs 11. G. E. Stable (Aladame Josephine Gttlee, A.R.A.AL), who will conduct the performance of the Otaki Choral Society, next week, is tho God-daughter of a well-known English lady, a member of the*. Marquis of Ormonde’s family. It was this lady tvho, recognising the quality of Airs Stable’* voice, arranged for her entry into the Royal Academy of Music, London, where she gained every possible diploma, and was subsequently made an Associate. Airs Bunnoster (nee Aliss Erica Rose, of Christchurch) ba* settled in England, but she hopes at some future date to visit New Zealand with her small son. vShe went to England in 1913 to train for gymnastics and massage, and her marriage took place at Home on the completion of her training course, pays a London correspondent. Aliss Al. Whiteside, who recently passed the examination as a surgeon dentist at the Otago TJnievrsity, has now been appointed by the Government ns officer in charge of the dental clinic at Wanganui.
