NAPIER.

November 5. We had Air. John Foster Fraser with us this week, and felt quite sorry we had lead his books so well: it is so much easier listening to a traveller's tales. His lectures were very well patronised in Napier, but as the theatre was in almost complete darkness from beginning to end, dresses were not to be had for the discerning. However, here are a few that I noticed: Airs. J. H. Coleman wore a black gown, with lovely lace on bodice; Airs. Dr. Aloore, black skirt and pale pink -silk blouse, with lattice lof narTSW black ribbon Velvet: Airs. Rutherford, black gown and long grey coat; Alisses Rutherford ■wore very charming coats of vieux rose and light frocks; Alisses Hindmarsh wore pretty white frocks; Airs. Afargoliouth. handsome black velvet gown relieved with white; Aliss Margoliuth, pale blue and white striped frocks finished with

Hcc; Mrs. Hislop, striped olive green gown, smart pale blue coat; Mrs. R. D. D. McLean, black gown with sequined net yoke, red roses on corsage; Mrs. A. Brown, brown silk frock; Mns. Levien, white silk frock. Personal. Mr. and Mrs. Fairley, of Napier, have gono on a holiday trip to Wellington. Dr. and Mrs. Mi rams, of the Lower Hutt, Wellington, are spending a holiday in Napier. Mrs. K. Beecham, of Napier, has just returned from a trip to the Old Country.
