NOTES FOR WOMEN

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL There have been many Governors and Governors-General in New Zealand, but it is hard_ to recall any of them whose daughter was married out here during his term of office. Now there seems to be a strong probability of thiq happening in a few .weeks’ time. Major Haviland, His Excellency’s military secretary, whose engagement to Miss Fergusson was recently announced, leaves in October for India where he will rejoin his regiment, the 6th Duke of Connaught’s Own Lancers. So ’t seems likely there will be a quiet wedding at Government House early in October v Although they were leaving for Australia yesterday morning, Lady Burnham and Lady Oarr and Mrs Moore found time to visit the Borstal Institute for Women at Point Halswell, being motored out by the Controller-General of Prisons, Mr Hawkins. They inspected everything, and were charmed with the site, the girls’ bedrooms, and the garden, and declared there was nothing in the British. Empire like it. They chatted with the girls, and admired their bright and happy appearance, and warmly approved of the absence of any sign of repression. They congratulated the matron, Miss Simpson, on the general, well-being of her charges. On Thursday afternoon Lady Burnham, who was accompanied by Lady Carr, paid a visit to the Flunket Home, and was greatly interested in all she saw, complimenting the matron and her staff. Miss TJlu Hancock, who has been on a holiday in Wellington, during .the visit of the American Fleet, has returned to her home in Palmerston. North. The improvement of the structure, of the Adelphi Cabaret by the removal of the! orchestral platform to the opposite side of the room was much commented on by-. the large crowd of dancers at the cabaret on Thursday evening. .Considerably more dancers can now b« accommodated, and the dancing space available is much greater. Among those present were the Misses Myers (Auckland), Lysnar, Clayton, Innes-Jones, Kennedy (2), Mr and Mrs H. Gravels, Mr and Mrs M. O. Barnett, Dr de Castro. Dr Mansell, Dr R. Phillipa-Turner, Messrs Ken Mason, Hamilton, Moore (Dannevirke), Hunter CPalmerston North), and Hebb. pw MILSQM Specialise in all the new clips and shaped hair fashions.

FAREWELL TO THE PRESS DELEGATES It was a very cheery send-off that Wellington gave the Empire Press delegates in .spite of showers of rain. Looking up from the wharf one saw various well-known people smiling and waving farewell. On- the upper deck were Captain Anthony Eden surveying the crowd through his horn rimmed glasses, and handsome Mrs Eden, who was smoking a cigarette. Lady Keed was up there, too, all dressed in fawn, and carrying a posy. Piquant Miss Iliffe, with a gold kid hand round her mauve felt hat, was standing with pretty Miss Graham, who was all in fawn. Lady Burnham, in dark brown and a brown hat, was holding a bouquet of roses and violets, and waving farewells with animation. Lady Newnes, all in grey with a grey felt hat, made several trips up and down the gangway to say last remarks. The Canadian bride, Mrs O’Leary, was in a very smart double breasted check tweed coat and a dark copper felt hat; she, too, had a posy of violets. Mr A. P. Herbert, of “Punch,” was evidently enjoying him self with a huge Smile, his hat on the back of his head and a bush of boronia in his ’ buttonhole. Major Astor and Lady Violet Astor made their farewells very distinctive. Standing well aft apart from the others they signalled in unison, she with her posy of flowers, and he with his handkerchief. Three strokes down, i three across, then three circular movements repeated several times, and Anally Lady Violet blew a kiss, from her posy of freesias to vanishing Wellington, 1925 MOVIE BALL PROCEEDS FOR KARITANE HOME.
