Mksßuck, Parnell, looks exceedingly stylish in a dark fawn tweed gown made with a very long basque bodice, which fits perfectly, and neat little bonnet to match. Miss Ku>d, Remuera, looks nice in a black gown and bat, and light fawn tweed jacket. Mus J. M. Brigham, Auckland, wears an elegant black costume, with pretty little bonnet of jet. Miss Brigham looks very pretty frocked in cinnamon brown with pipings of cream cord, and small hat en suite. Mrs Baker, jun.

I hear that Miss Harriette Bethune is about to pay a visit to England for the benefit of her health. Mrs T. Cotter, Auckland, is always well dressed ; her black gown, white vest, and hat trimmed with black ostrich tips suits her admirably.

The young people of Nelson appear to have greatly appreciated Mrs Fell’s delightful little dance, given almost exclusively for juveniles. As a hostess this lady certainly shines.

In Auckland Miss Kilgour looks very well in a navy serge costume, fashionably made, with a hat to correspond ; Mrs Hardie is wearing a handsome black silk ; her bonnet is a striking and stylish combination of brown velvet and blue feathers ; the pretty brown dress of Mrs A. Taylor, Parnell, of cashmere liberally trimmed with silk, is much admired. Another very pretty brown costume, this time trimmed with astrachan, is worn by Miss Bursill.
