SYDNEY SOCIETY WEDDING. Bee rot weddings, sudden weddings, and surprise engagements have kept Sydney thrilled since the New Year. And now to these is' added the fact that Miss Barbara Mackay, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Mackay, of Warialda, New South Wales, has exercised the woman's privilege of chang-

ing her mind. Miss Mackay, who comes from a wealthy family', was to have been married recently to Mr. Bevis Graham, son of Sir Frederick and Lady Graham, of London. The wedding breakfast had been ordered, and the cake was made. It so happened that the wedding was to have been a quiet one, but it came as a great shock to the few invited guests to learn the day before the proposed Avcdding that there would be no wedding. Coupled with this announcement was another to the effect that the intended bridegroom had already left the city in order to join a liner at Adelaide for London.. It is understood that originally' Miss Mackay intended to go to Colombo for her wedding with Mr. Graham, and that her father’s objections overruled her wishes. It was during a visit to her aunt, Mrs. Thorburn, of India, who is now in Sydney-, that Miss Mackay met Mr. Graham and became engaged to him. She later paid a second visit to India, where her fiancee was stationed. —_ * •> r n • ?.. i.l, a fnrvf.

Miss Mackay is following the footsteps of her sister, Miss Jean Mackay, who some time ago went to India, accompanied by her family with the object of being married, changed her mind on arrival, and returned home.
