IN THE LOOKING-GLASS.

THE most striking dress on the lawn at the Auckland Easter Races was worn by a Dunedin girl Miss McClean. It was of bright red silk, and the wearer completed her stylish costume by a white felt hat, in which red ribbon played a prominent part, slightly subdued by a white feather. Miss Wilson (Whangarei), who is the guest of Mrs Upton, Shelly Beach, during her stay in Auckland, looks exceedingly nice in a well fitting dark green cloth gown, and large black hat. Miss Bradley, daughter of Mr F. Bradley, Northern Wairoa, is spending a short holiday with Miss Harding, Mangawhare. Mr and Mrs Hart and their daughter have returned to Timaru. On dit that Miss Hart is not to be with Timaruvians for long. Mrs Barton is down from Whangarei on a visit to her mother, Mrs Stevens, Remuera. She is looking as pretty as ever, and was frocked in a stylish fawn gown with large spots, and light fawn hat trimmed with flowers and foliage. Amongst the young looking matrons at the Auckland Easter Race Meeting none looked fairer than Mrs A. KerrTaylor. Her dress was of navy blue, the jacket of plush, and a most fascinating little black hat with red tips crowned her bonny face. Mrs Baume, who has been visiting friends in Dunedin, returns to Auckland this week. Mr and Mrs Robert Rhodes have returned to Timaru from their trip to England, both looking very well. Since their return they have been spending some time in the North Island. Mr and Mrs W. Bloomfield ‘ The Pines,’Auckland, are away at Gisborne. Three ladies who were present at Mrs Walter Tabuteau’s large afternoon tea in Napier were much admired. Miss Hamlin looked very pretty in her new autumn costume ; Mrs Eustace Fulton and Mrs Vickerman (from Hastings) were the other two whose stylish costumes attracted attention.
