NOTES FOR WOMEN

PERSONAL AND SOCIAL.

By Phillida.

A very enjoyable evening was spent on Eebrunry 19 when the members of the Taumata Social Club and friends assembled in the school to bid farewell to Miss H. C. Loudon, the local teacher, who is leaving the district to take up a new position at Otara. The function was in the form of a social and dance, Messrs Sparrow and Lawrence officiating as masters of ceremonies. Musical items were contributed by Miss B. C. Loudon (song), Miss M. Taylor (piano), and Mr Kell (violin). Before partaking of a sumptuous supper, Mr R. Pearce, acting on behalf of the club members, presented Miss Loudon .with a handsome solid leather handbag. He also spoke in appreciative terms of the competent way in which Miss , Loudon had inaugurated the club, to which she suitably responded. Mrs Loudon was also the recipient of a memento from her friends. After supper, games, humorous competitions, and novelty dances were indulged in until the early hours, when a jolly entertainment was brought to a close by the singing of “Auld Lang Syne.” * * * An interesting visitor to Dunedin is Miss Madeline Vyner, who has come from Wellington to continue her art studies and teach dancing. A dancer whose aims have carried her from one high point to another, Miss Vyner received her European training in London under Princess Seraphine Astafieva, having a place m Diaghilev’s production of the Russian -- ballet, “The Sleeping Princess,” at the Alhambra (a distinction which fell to very fevV), and becoming possessed of a knowledge of technique which only study under the best teachers could give. Back in New Zealand, she made an ardent attempt to raise the standard of dancing to the highest level, her work in Christchurch and later in Wellington being well known not only for its soundness of structure but also for its originality and its interpretation of the music of the best modern composers. Miss Vyner will be remembered in Dunedin as a judge of dancing at some of the annual displays of the Competitions Society and as the producer of an interesting revue at the New Zealand and South Seas Exhibition. v # * An evening wedding of interest in sporting circles was solemnised at St. David’s Church, Khyber Pass, Auckland, 1 recently, when John Alexander Malcolm, a former Wellington representative footballer and an ex-member of the Pirates Football Club, Dunedin, was married to Thelma Elizabeth, only daughter of Mr and Mrs B.

L. Sheild, of Waiwhenua, Hastings. The Rev. Archdeacon, Whitehead officiated, and Mr A. W. Lilly was at the organ. The church was simply and very artistically decorated by friends of the bride with bowls of blue hydrangeas, pink roses, and bronze-coloured leaves arranged at the chancel steps. The bride, accompanied by her father, entered the church to the strains of Lohengrin wedding march, wearing a gown of heavy pearl-coloured satin, which was moulded to the figure and reached the ground, the gown being accentuated on either side of the front panel by slight gathers at the waist line. The back panel was shaped out to form a yard-long train, which was sewn with small pearls. /The neck of the gown showed a low V line, and the sleeves, which were long and tight, were buttoned up to the elbows with tiny satin-covered buttons. Her veil, an heirloom lent by the bridegroom’s mother, was ofi exquisite ivory-coloured Limerick lace, and was clasped to the head by a circlet of orange blossom. She wore a long string of twisted' seed pearls, hnd carried a sheaf of | Lord Rossmore roses mixed with white heather._ Her bridesmaids were Miss Barbara Williams, Miss Evelyn Pinckney (Gienaray), Miss Margaret Reid, and Miss Dorothy Rob\erts. They were dressed alike in slimfitting frocks of pale turquoise blue georgette falling to the ground, the fullness in the skirts being let in by godets placed just above the' knee. A narrow flare outlined the waist, and the same effect was repeated on the bodices. Their Vshaped neck lines were clipped with turquoise and steel brooches (the bridegroom’s /gifts), and their long, tight-fit-ting sleeves were buttoned to the elbow in a similar style to that of the bride’s gown. They wore- satin shoes to match their frocks, and wreaths of rose pink larkspur and blue love-in-a-mist encircle*!., their heads. They carried sheafs of tile same flowers. Dr Sheild was attended by Mr John Edmond as best man, and Mr Kenneth Throp (Lincoln) and Mr Neil Watson (Invercargill) were ushers. Following the religious ceremony, Mr and Mrs Throf) received the guests in Somerset Lounge of the Savoy, where masses of pink and blue flowers made a colourful display. Mrs Throp (mother of the bride) wore a gown of caramel brown georgette with string-coloured lace let into the skirt and a short coat of same coloured lace, with a small brown velour hat relieved with a touch of orange and a soft osprey at the side. She larned brown and orange marigolds. Mrs rl.
