The engagement is announced of Vera Kathleen, elder daughter of Mr and Mrs W. P. Deal, Levin, and Charles William, eldest son of Mr and the late Mrs Sydney Goldsmith, Dunedin. To be smart (says a fashion expert), a woman must possess several little cardigan waistcoats in the brightest of wool, but if you cannot make these yourself, shape your own from a paper pattern out of a square of brocade. Mrs Richard Hamilton, Christchurch, was hostess at a very pleasant flag bridge party in honour of Miss Roie de Pass, whose marriage to the Rev. David Thorpe, of St. Mary’s Church, Timaru, will take place in Christchurch on November 28. Each guest took Miss de Pass a blue gift for the bathroom of her new home. The winners of the prizes for bridge were Mrs Andrew Todd, Miss de Pass and Miss Joyce McGibbon. Frequent visits to her sister in Yugo-Slavia have made Princess Marina a familiar figure there, and all the young girls adore her because she is a fine sportswoman and takes a keen interest in their games. Fired by her slim grace and outdoor good looks, the Yugo-Slav girls have been striving to imitate her, and out of this desire has grown their enthusiasm for a team game called hazea, which is not unlike football. Mrs Mary Gaunt the authoress is shortly publishing a new book of adventure. She has used material gathered during her lone and thrilling journey on the West Coast of Africa before the war. Mrs Gaunt, whose books are so well known, is a member of a very famous family, her three brothers, Admirals Sir Ernest and Sir Guy Gaunt, and Lieutenant-Colonel C Gaunt, all distinguishing themselves in the war. All were born in Australia, their father being Judge Gaunt, of Melbourne.
