In a northern weekly paper I noticed a , picture of a girl in a Swiss soap factory 1 wrapping up soap for Christmas in Austrian ■ treasury notes. Austrian money must have about reached bed-rock, and in such countries as England, Switzerland, Holland, etc., the notes are a’most worthless. Consequently it is the cheapest as well as the ‘ best wrapping paper. One of the most attractive features of ' the French battle cruiser, Jules Michelet, I which arrived in New Zealand recently, denotes the purpose of its cruise in the South. Pacific. This isk a fine photographic exhibit of many of the most beautiful manufactures of France. It is contained in a panelled -howcase and comprises about , three hundred coloured photographs, in eluding exquisite lace, tapestry, lingerie, and dainty fabrics. After a six-weeks’ motoring tour, Miss ■ M. Jopp has returned to town. She went ' to Christchurch, and on returning visited , Mount Cook, going through the Lindis Pass and over the Crown Range to Queenstown. | She is reported to be the first lady driver ! to take a motor car to the Hermitage. I Later she returned via Cromwell and Roxburgh. Miss Jopp reports that the Her-.

mit age has a full quota of visitors this season and a most enjoyable time was spent by the excursionists. Some enterprising Sydney gentlemen, knowing the weaknesses of a dancing-loving public, have purchased the Commonwealth steamer Bihoela, which is to be converted into a harbor jazz cabaret. The vessel is at present in the Cockatoo Dock, Sydney, undergoing the necessary repairs, and it is understood that when it is ready for use it will resemble more a magnificent ballroom. This is quite a new innovation and it is stated will prove an irresistible attraction to dancers. WEDDING. MORRIS—HAZELMORE The wedding of Miss Linda second daughter of Mr and Mrs J. H. Hazelmore, Annan street, to Mr Ernest Morris, second son of Mr and Mrs Morris, Maidenhead, England, was celebrated at St John's Anglican Church on Monday, January 29. The bride entered the church on her father’s arm to the strains of the wedding march played by Mrs Wright. The bride wore a frock of white ninon and carried a shower bouquet of cream roses and maidenhair fern. The bridesmaids, Misses Cora and Leah Hazelmore, sisters of the bride, wore frocks of deep apricot and kingfisher blue crepe de chine, trimmed with beads. They carried beautiful shower bouquets. Mr Herbert Morris and Mr Albert Middlemiss carried out the duties of best man and groomsman respectively. After the breakfast, which was laid in the Floral Tea Rooms, the happy couple left for Christ- • church ’midst showers of confetti and good ■ wishes from their many friends. The bridegroom’s present to each of the bridesmaidi was a gold bangle.
