HASTINGS.

Dear Bee, August 11. Mr A. I leans haw just arrived from England. He was not in time to attend the last hunt. His friends are all glad to see him out again. He and Mr Stewart Bridge are going to live together at Ashcott. I believe Mr Henry Bridge will live in his own house a little distance away. gentlemen’s street suits. Do you know, Bee, I think it is hardly fair that we women should always have our gowns singled out and praised, and that the men, who really take pains to look very nice as a rule, never have a word of pra’se. Now lam going to put in a word for them, and tell you how they look just to encourage them a little. Mr Muir, the manager of the Bank of New Zealand, looks very nice in a light grey suit, small grey cap, and sometimes he wears a wideawake (grey felt); Mr A. C. Lewis is much admired in a dark grey suit, small hard hitter hat; Mr C. A. Loughnan wears a brown checked tweed suit, brown hard hitter hat; Mr Jack Allan, grey trousers, black coat, hard hitter hat, blue tie; Mr C. Howard, grey suit, hard hitter hat; Judge Butler, grey trousers, black coat, black hat; Mr A. L. D. Fraser always looks very spick and span ; he generally wears a dark suit, dark hat; Mr J. A. Fraser looks very neat in a dark suit, light covert coat, black hard hitter hat; Mr H. Williams, brown knicker bockers, light coat, small grey hat (very becoming) ; Mr Fitzroy, light grey suit, brown hat; Mr H. Braithwaite is always most exceedingly neat; he generally wears a grey suit, sometimes black coat, and irrev wide-a-wake hat.
