Looking CLASS.

rIN Napier: Mrs King is on a visit to Miss Hitehings at the ‘ Oaks.’ She is looking exceedingly well. Mrs King > resides in Wellington, and finds Napier climate very < * agreeable after windy Wellington. Miss White (Mrs * Wenley’s sister) is out from England, and is staying in Napier. She is wearing a very wide skirt with stiff lining round the bottom of hem. (Girls, don’t let the crinoline come in ; this is the forerunner.) Mrs Willie Carlile is staying in Napier with Mrs James Carlile. Miss Fulton (Dunedin) looks well in a flowered blue gown, cream hat. Miss Maker wears a stylish navy gown trimmed with old gold silk, hat to match. At Miss Rees’ dance there were present: — Misses Lascelles. Balhany. Chapman, Hamlin, Wilson, Shaw. Rhodes, and a few others. The gowns worn were not new’. It is rather early in the season for new gowns, but Miss Hamlin looked very nice in cream with yellow trimmings, and Miss Lascelles looked nice in black. During the evening songs were given which were much appreciated. —***—ln Hastings : Mr and Mrs W. Birch arc down from Pateaand are staying at Frunley. Mrs Haigh is laid up with a feverish attack, but by latest accounts she is progressing favourably. Mr Joe Williams is laid up with a crippled knee, which threatens to be tiresome; it is to be hoped it will not lay him up for long, as it is so very w'earying for an energetic man like Mr Joe Williams to be confined to the house. Mr Allan Williams is a good deal better. Miss Williams (Wellington) is on a visit to Frimley. Mr and Mrs William Nelson, Miss Nelson, and Miss E. Nelson, leave shortly for England, and intend being away about a year. Happy people ! The Misses Russell (three) have returned from the South.

Nelson wears a very stylish grey costume (English!, black hat with black feathers ; Mrs King wears a black gown, white hat with strings. On the arrival of the Governor, amongst the people assembled round the station were Mesdames J. N. Williams, F. Nelson. McHardy, McLean, and the Misses Williams, Beamish, McHardy, Edwards. Lascelles, and lots more. Mr and Miss Beamish met Dr. and Mrs New man, who are going to remain as their guests until after the races. Miss Beamish looked well in a cream gown, hat en suite.
