To Keep Warm. 1 Baby Bunting was a wise little crea-

ture when he sent his father out in search of a rabbit-skin. I now hear of a really exquisite material made of spun Angora rabbit fur. Jumpers made of this keep you radiantly warm. They are embroidered with Florida, also a bunny fur product. One point seems to have been firmly settled during the comic Cambridge Union debate about woman’s place in the universe. Nearly all the undergraduate speakers agreed that modern woman is the imitative sex; her idea of “equality” is summed up in the demand to behave as men do, to enjoy the already established privileges of man, to occupy professions and institutions hitherto reserved for men—particularly, to in vade Universities founded for men. They are therefore advised to invent inodes of life, careers, and colleges for themselves. Tennyson’s pretty idea!—a Female Seminary, made picturesque by the flutter of multi-col-oured robes. Wo may answer that there is not enough money floating about for these foundations. But the Twentieth Cen tury may provide them. Then the terms of the controversy may be reversed. Men may sit in the galleries of the feminine Parliament, listening to women who utterly “disapprove” of men. and wishing that. they, too, could dress as butterflies, and got degrees in ad the entrancing subjects that girl students will have discovered for the exclusive use of women. WEDDING. VEITCH—MORGAN. A pretty wedding was solemnised on May 11. when Ishbel Margaret Morgan, only daughter of Mr and Mrs C. C. Morgan. Kaitieke, married to Mr Henry Charles (Doug.) Veitch, third son of Mr and Mrs W. A Veitch. Gonvillo, at the residence of the bride’s parents. The Rev. T. C. Wetherhogg, Vicar of Taumarunui, officiated. The bride, who was given away by her father, looked charming in a frock of powder blue crcpe-de-chine, and grey crinoline hat. She carried a bouquet of golden chrysanthemums. The first bridesmaid. Miss Eleanor Lyndon, cousin of the bride, wore cyclamen taffeta, with hat to tone, and carried a bouquet of brown chrysanthemums. Miss Anne Veitch, sister of the bridegroom, was second bridesmaid, and wore apricot taffeta, with a hat to tone, and carried a posy of brown marigolds.

After the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride’s parents, one hundred guests being present. The bride’s going-away frock was of peaboek blue repp which was worn with a grey hat and fur. In the evening an enjoyable dance was given by the bride’s parents for the many guests.
