"She looks handsome in a black gown, sweet little bonnet, and stylish fawn Tudor cape.

Miss Dickey in gown of the latest style of brown, with brown hat, looks well, as does that very smart young lady, Miss C. Berry, in navy blue. Mrs Bloomfield, in navy blue serge, navy blue sailor bat, is prettier than ever. Mi: Stewart, of Auckland, has been out driving his coach and four, and with him were Mrs Laurie, in her pretty red coat, Dr. Laurie and Miss Battley, Misses Kilgour and Moss-Davis, and Mr Stubbins. The Misses Shaen have returned from a pleasant visit to the Hot Lake district. Mrs F. Brittan gave a small dance at Kelsie the other evening, a number of guests going out from town. Mrs Michael Campbell chaperoned a large party who drove out four in-hand. Mrs Sheath, of Hastings, is wearing a stylish grey Tudor cloak, very becoming brown Bond-street hat.

By the Ruahine, which sailed at midnight on Thursday, a number of Christchurch friends took their departure—Mrs R. Wilson (of Compton) and her daughter, Miss Mien accompanying them, two of the Misses Courage (of Amberley), Mr and Miss Bowen, Captain Temple, and Mr G. Kettlewell. During the stay of the steamer in port she was visited and admired by many, Captain Greenstreet being heartily congratulated on his fine ship. A few of the captain’s friends were entertained at luncheon one day.

In Timaru some very pretty winter garments are worn. The cloaks are especially pretty. The Misses Mayne are wearing such pretty red ones edged with fur. I am so fond of red for winter ; it looks so warm and cosy. Miss Crammond wears a very stylish tailor-made tweed dress, which is

well adapted to her tall figure; Miss Ethel Lovegrove is looking very nice in a dark blue costume trimmed with astrachan ; Miss M. Allen also looks very well in a dark blue serge.
