WOMEN’S WORLD

The condition of Mrs Arthur Pickin, who underwent a serious operation some two months ago, is causing very grave anxiety and her many friends will wish her a speedy recovery. Mrs L. A. Gardner has returned to Palmerston North after an enjoyable holiday spent in Taranaki and Hawke’s Bay. The friends of Mrs P. F. O’Connor, who was dangerously ill in Sydney, will be pleased to learn that she is very much improved. The body of her late husband is to leave Sydney on October 12 for Palmerston North. Mrs Alec Crawford, president of the Wanganui Croquet Club, has been invited to manage the New Zealand croquet championship, which will be held in Christchurch. Mrs Crawford’s work as an organiser was thoroughly appreciated at the championship meeting held in Wanganui in 1932. A marriage of interest to Feilding residents took place in Wellington recently, when Sheila Russell Murray, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs D. R. Murray, of Hawke’s Bay, and niece of Mrs J. E. Jenkinson, of Sandon Road, Feilding, was married to Reginald Marryat Jenkins, youngest son of the late Mr and Mrs W. R. M. Jenkins, Wales. Mr and Mrs Al. Jenkins are making their home in Wellington. A collection of Press cuttings, photographs, and other relics which mark the progress of women for the past 50 years was a feature of a two days’ women’s rally held in Sydney last month. These, including photographs of the suffragette movement at its height, and depicting such scenes as women being protected from the angry mob by policemen, or being bundled into the “Black Maria,” were particularly interesting to the younger generation, which has grown up accepting the privileges of the “weaker sex,” without giving much thought to the manner in which they were won, or to the bitter struggle which ensued for years prior to the Great War.

WEDDING. GILBERT—BAYLIS. On September 27, at All Saints’ Church, a very pretty wedding was solemnised when Asta Viney, fifth daughter of Mr and Mrs J. T. Baylis, was married to Ernest James, second son of Mrs and the late Mr Gilbert, •of Hastings. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Canon G. Y. Woodward. The bride looked charming as she entered the church on the arm of her father wearing a beautiful dress of Princess Mary blue silk marocain, long and fully flared, with double puff sleeves and little coatee to tone, also a bow at the back held in place by a pearl buckle; shoes to tone. She also wore the usual veil and orange blossom. She carried a beautiful bouquet of freesias, pink Iceland poppies and asparagus fern; attached was a white satin horseshoe held in place with white satin ribbon. The bride was attended bv her sister. Miss Rita Baylis, as chief bridesmaid and Miss Rita Lavin as bridesmaid. They were dressed in apricot silk taffeta, anklelength and fully flared, with puff sleeves and velvet bows to tone, and wearing little hand-made Dutch caps, and shoes to tone.
