WANGANUI.

Dear Bee, Nov. 2nd. Last Saturday the weather was stormy, and therefore interfered with the attendance at the tennis courts. Afternoon tea was provided by the Misses Stanford. Amongst those present I noticed Mrs. Gonville Saunders, Mrs. Wall, Mrs. Barnieoat, Mrs. Fairhum, Misses Baker, L. Barnard-Brown, Stanford (2), M. Browne, Barnieoat, Cave, Darley, Messrs. Biss. Harold, Allen. Stevens, Willis, Dr. Wall and others. WANGANUI HAS BEEN VERY QUIET this week from a social point of view, as everybody is very busy preparing for the large church bazaar, which is to be held in the Drill Hall during show week. Some really excellent side shows ami evening entertainments, with tableaux on a very elaborate scale, are to be staged —for which the performers are very busy’ rehearsing and making their frocks. CROQUET. has started again this season, and most of the lawns are in excellent condition. During the week enjoyable sets have been played on the lawns belonging to Mesdames Fitzherbert, Barnard-Browne, and John Stevenson. Amongst the dainty summer toilettes worn this season I noticed Miss Gresson in a becoming white muslin froek, with small blaek embroidered spot and narrow Valenciennes lace insertion; with she wore a white fine straw hat with a ruche of blaek tulle round it, bandeau of tulle, and white flowers at the back. Mits. Imlay Saunders in a smart gown of pale grey’ voile; the skirt was made with wide French tucks, and shaped yoke of nice lace, pretty white hat with crown composed of narrow Valenciennes laee. and a spray of flowers at the back. Mrs. Mackay in an exquisite cream laee robe over cream gla e silk, elbow sleeves edged with laee, white swathed silk belt of turquoise blue, Tuscan straw bat with fancy’ straw trimming in the front, and large white aigrette at the back were two large flat roseties of blue silk to match her belt.
