A large number of Invercargill residents motored down to Bluff on Wednesday night to see the Manuka off. These included Mrs W. T. Hazlett and party, and Mrs C. de R. Andrews, Mrs Dunham, Mrs Herbert Macdonald and Miss Crofts.

Although she has now taken up residence in Dunedin, Mrs J. A. Hanan does not intend to completely desert Invercargill, which has been her home for so many years. Every month she will come down to attend meetings of the Red Cross Society and the High School's Board, of both of which she is & member.

The music-lovers who visited Mr Gray’s studio on Saturday evening included Mr and Mrs Arnold Macdonald, Mr and Mrs W. Millar, Mesdames J. L. Lush, Hogg, C. de R. Andrews, Misses May Ridings (Auckland), Lulu Henderson, Erskine, Betty Andrews, Maisie Young, and Messrs Jack Erskine (Melbourne) and A. Grenfell.

Interesting American tourists staying at the Grand Hotel at present are Mr and Mrs Barrett and their nephew, Mr Weir. In New Zealand principally for the purpose of big game shooting, they intend staying here for a few days, before proceeding to Manapouri and Te Anau. Mr Weir’s personal servant, a picturesque Ghurka, attired in the full glory of his native costume, has been attracting a great deal of interest in the streets, where he walks majestically, lost in thought, entirely oblivious of the common mortals round him and the curiosity they display.

The perfectly straight, overall-shaped coatfrock is one of Fashion’s most successful modes. A high collar and row of buttons and absence. of waistline give an air of utility which is contradicted by the rich material composing the gown.

Mrs J. A. Hanan was entertained in the Federal Tea Rooms on Saturday afternoon by a few fellow-members of the Red Cross Society, of which she has been a very valuable member. On Monday, ladies connected with the Children’s House gave her an enjoyable farewell tea, in view of her departure for Dunedin on the following day. Mrs Hanan has always been an enthusiastic worker for the numerous societies with which she has been connected, which partly accounts for her amazing popularity in Invercargill. The play-reading circle of the Southland Women’s Club opened the season on Tuesday evening, when a most enjoyable time was spent by the members. Two plays were read: “The Boy Comes Home” (A. A. Milne), the various parts being read by Mesdames Hobbs, Graham, Thomas, Morell Macdonald and Morrison. “The Step Mother” was the other play chosen, and was read by Mesdames Dunham, Howorth, A. M. Macdonald and Miss Muir. The members were afterwards the guests of the Committee at a delicious supper. Invercargill dance enthusiasts and wouldbe enthusiasts will read with pleasure that the Misses May Finlayson and Shona Drumm, pupils of Mr F. Reade Wauchop, of Christchurch and Dunedin, are starting a school of dancing in the Cecil Dancing Studio in Kelvin street. They will hold special nights for both juniors and seniors (a thing which will be hailed with unlimited delight). I see they intend to hold a cabaret every Wednesday evening. The deplorable lack of opportunity to dance in Invercargill seems as if it is going to be remedied this season, for which let us give thanks and a little bit of which must go to these enterprising young ladies.

A fortunate spectator at the full rehearsal of orchestra and voices which the Invercargill Dramatic Club had on Thursday night in view of their approaching performance of “H.M.S. Pinafore,” was agreeably surprised and very enthusiastic about the ability of the players, and their range of expression. The music all through, she tells me, is excellent, for which the major portion of the credit is due to the untiring efforts of Mrs J. Prentice. The necessary confidence of the players reflects credit on Mr J. R. Haig, who is responsible for the elocutionary results. Miss Violet Hobbs as Josephine is charming, and shows no flagging towards the end. Great joy is being derived from the part of Buttercup, in the able hands of Mrs Campbell, whose vast amount of experience in amateur theatricals places her in a niche by herself. The company had their firs/full-dress rehearsal last night, with gratifying results. The Manchester Unity Oddfellows held a most enjoyable banquet in the A.C.M. Tea Rooms on Wednesday evening, March 11, for the purpose of entertaining the delegates from the Southland district Lodges who had attended the annual meeting held in the United Friendlies’s Hall in the afternoon Some of those present were:—P.G.M. Bro. W. G. Tait and Mrs Tait; P.P.G.M. Bro. A. Ball; Pro. Cores. Society; Bro. A. B. Edmonds; I.P.P.G.M. Bro. G. Kerse; N.G. Bro. A. Roy McKenzie and Mrs McKenzie; P.P.G.M. Bro. R. Miller, P.G. Bro. Barr and Mrs Barr; P.G. Bro. A. Batson and Mrs Butson; Bro. Tressler and Mrs Tressler; Mr and Mrs McNight; P.P.G.M. Bro. J. Boyne and P.P.G.M. Bro. Frobart (Gore) ; P.G. Bro. Buchanan (Mataura) ; D.P.G.M. Bro. D. Sinclair, inr. (Nightcaps) ; P.G. Bro. E. D. Bone (Orepuki) ; P.P.G.M. Bro. P. Stokes; P.G. Sister McKenzie; Misses Todd (2), Dixon, B. Cockroft; P.G. Sister Millar; P.G. Sister Lee; Messrs McCullock (2), R. Kelman, Campbell, Gunn, Aitken, McCurdy, Peters, ALsweiler, Pickford, Walker and Anderson.

The fortnightly dance held in the Y.M.C.A. last night under the excellent chaperonage of Mrs T. C. Meadows, was a great success in every way. Messrs W. Ward and P. Poole were capable M’s.C. An adequate supper was dispensed by the gentlemen. The dancers included Misses Hill (2), D. Harris, K. Whitmore, F. Hefford, R. Perry, M. Eames, E. Poole, Sparkes (2), C. Shaw, M. Lynch, M.

The Presbyterian Church at Edendale was the scene of a wedding on Wednesday morning, March 11, in which much kindly interest was evinced by the numerous* relatives and close acquaintances of Magnus John William, second son of Mr and Mrs Magnus Thompson, Kamahi, and Annie Victoria, seventh daughter of the Late Alexander Granstoun and of Mrs Cranstoun, “Crawford,” Edendale.. Rev. R- D. McEwan, parish minister, officiated- The interior of the church had been tastefully decorated by girl friends of the bride with heliotrope and white chrysanthemums, relieved by greenery; a heliotrope horseshoe and an ivory-white bell hung over the altar; and ribbons of the same aolonr- were knotted in bows and tied, to the crater ends of all the pews.

Prior to the beginning of the service, a suitable programme of sacred music was played on the organ by the choirmaster, Mr W. W.. Chaplin; and the Church Choir, which was well represented, led the singing of the marriage hymn, “How Welcome Was the CaR”

The bride, who was given away by her oldest brother, Mr Alex. Cranstoun, was gowned in cream moroaain made plainly with a wide swathed belt, georgette sleeves, and pearl trimming, a heaiitifully embroidered veil warn coronet style completing her attire. The bridesmaid, Miss Ivy Cranstoun (ycrunger sister of the bride) was dressed in apricot crepe-de-chine with bugle trimming; and her head-dress was a becoming cap with streams to tone. Two little Misses,Edna Duncan (Sterling) and Phyllis Hafliday, nieces of the bride and bridegroom respectively, looked sweet and captivating in frocks of amethyst crepe-de-chine, with

frill to the waist; they also wore tiny wreaths in their hair.

At the close of the religious service, while the bridal party were making the customary attestations in the vestry, Mr R. B. Barnett (Ashburton) played a fine bridal march on the organ. Following the marriage, the principals and a very large company of guests adjourned to the Public Hall, wherein three long tables ranging almost the full length of the floor had been covered with appetising viands, the preparation of the local chef, Mr Wm. Irvine. Rev. Mr McEwan presided over the happy throng; and, after full justice had been done, a toast-list was submitted, opening with that of “The King,” which was accorded loyally and with patriotic fervour.

The bridegroom’s present to the bride was a leather suitcase, to the bridesmaid a dainty manicure set, and to the flower girls gold Nellie Stewart bangles. The bride gave the groom a travelling rug, and the best man a pocket-book. The newly-wedded couple left by motor during the afternoon northward, for their honeymoon. For travelling, the bride wore a very becoming costume of brown woollen morocain, trimmed with fur; also brown hat, with feather mount. On their return, they intend settling on the bridegroom's farm at Kamahi. GALE—BARCLAY. A very pretty wedding was celebrated at St. John’s Church, Roslyn, Dunedin, on Monday evening, when Elfrida Barclay, only daughter of the late A. R.

The bride, who was given away by her brother, Mr Osborne Barclay, was daintily attired in a lovely gown of ivory chariueuse with .. deep flounce of Limerick lace. Her full court train of silver tissue edged with charmeuse was lined with pale blue georgette and handsomely beaded in silver. Her veil (lent by her aunt) was caught up with sprays of orange blossom and worn over her face, and silver shoes and stockings completed a charming toilette. She carried a beautiful bouquet of cream roses and lilium auratum, with a tiny horse-shoe of blue flowers in the centre. The bridesmaids, Misses Marjory McAdam, Stella Baron (cousin of the bride) and Mira Medlicott, were urettily frocked in turquoise crepe-de-chine headed with silver, and wore wreaths of silver leaves. They carried bouquets of roses and carnations. Mr Fred Rolfe acted as best man and Mr Shanks as groomsman.

Owing to the serious illness of the bride's mother the reception, after the ceremony, was held at the residence of her uncle, Mr Baron, of Highgate.

Very great interest centred in a wedding which took place at St. Andrew’s Church, Queenstown, last evening.

Ott, of that city, and Miss Lurline Adella Haines, only daughter of Mr and Mrs John Haines, Queenstown. The church, which was very charmingly decorated in the wedding colours, pink and heliotrope, was well filled with relatives and friends of both parties . The bride, who entered the church on the arm of her father, wore a very sweet frock of ivory satin and lace. Fashioned on semi-early Victorian lines, the bodice was quite plain, but slightly rucked at the side seams. The quarter length sleeves were composed of a series of tiny picot-edged frills, while the skirt was flounced with beautiful lace, which veiled tiny pink wreaths at intervals. With this model creation she wore pink satin shoes and hose, while an embroidered tulle veil was arranged in mob cap style about her head.
