TO MARRY A WELLINGTONIAN. Miss Kidman, the oldest daughter of Mr. Sidney Kidman, Australia’s millionaire “Cattle King,” who is to bo married t'o Mr. Bert Hott, of Wellington, bn June 30, has travelled 12,000 miles to buy her trousseau in London, says the “Daily Mail.” In four weeks’ time the bride will return to Adelaide with Mrs. Kidman, who is taking back her two school-girl daughters, who have been finishing their education in Paris. All are now staying at a West End hotel. Miss Kidman, a tall, fair-haired girl, has already decided upon her wedding gown and the dresses to be worn by her two sisters as bridesmaids. The bridal

gown is to be of ivory satin veiled with ninon and trimmed with pearl embroideries. A wreath of orange blossom and myrtle leaves will be worn in the hair. Graceful gowns of pale grey satin charmeuse artistically draped with eau de nil chiffon ami pale grey crinoline hats with grey ostrich plumes and touches of eau- de nil chiffon will be worn by the two bridesmaids. It will be winter in Australia when Mrs. Kidman and her daughters return, and warm fabrics have to be chosen for the trousseau. “We love the London shops,” said Mrs. Kidman. “The assistants are so courteous and obliging that it is a pleasure to visit them. We like the shops here* belter than those of Paris.”
