NELSON.

Dear Bee, There is very little going on jast now, and everything is very quiet. The winter amusements have not yet begun, and it is getting almost too late for tennis and croquet. At the latter courts last week the handicap final for Col. Wood’s prize was won by Miss Robertson, who was also runner up for the championship

singles. On Wednesday Miss Bunny, accompanied by her mother, who is going with her as far as Wellington, left for Australia, where she goes to be married to Mr. Walter Colt. A few days before Mrs. Bunny entertained some of her daughter's friends at afternoon tea. The many beautiful presents were placed on tables in the garden—among them Mrs. Colt’s present to her future daughter-in-law a beautiful diamond cross, a family heirloom. Mrs. Bunny received her guests in black, with black and white trimming. Miss Bunny was in blue flowered muslin, large blaek hat. Some of those present were: Mrs. Sclanders. Mrs. Grace, Mrs. Stevens, Mrs. Lewis, Mrs. Blackett, Miss Huddleston, Miss Stevens, Miss Robertson, Miss DufT. Miss Gibbs, Misses Boyd, Miss Richmond. Miss Pell has returned from Melbourne, where she has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Daubany, for some months.

Miss Rawson, Wellington, is staying with Mrs. Clifford-

There is to be an encampment of all the volunteers in the Nelson district here at Easter. The scene of operations is to be between Cable Bay and town.
