St. Augustine’S Church At Wau,
New Guinea, was beautifully decora ted on March 30, when Miss Ada Made line, second daughter of Mrs. A. E. and the late Mr. Buckeridge, of Carlton, New South Wales, was married to Mr. Clifford Benjamin Austin, of Golden Ridges, Wau.
Rev. V. H. Sherwin conducted the marriage ceremony.
Mr. C. D. Beck gave the bride away and his daughter, Nance, was chief brides maid. Mr. F. J. Curry acted as best man.
After the ceremony a reception, with Mrs.
C. D. Beck as hostess, was held at Golden Ridges. wear. When buying linen, a good quality heavy linen is undeniably the best pur chase, especially for skirts. It has many virtues, keeps its shape and —distinct ad vantage for tropical climes —can be worn with the absolute minimum of undies with all due modesty and decorum.
Fashion shows many delightful new shades on her colour charts. Amber is lovely, as is the very new pink called “desert rose.” Sweet pea shades are de liciously delicate, and in the cobweb chif fons, gauzy voiles, and sheer organdies are so cool, crisp and fresh-looking that we are lured to wild extravagances. Gay flowered materials have untold charm and, since it is a floral season, infinite popularity.
Flowers are worn for both day and evening—strewn in gay abandon every where. Necklaces of daisies, bunches of tawny chrysanthemums at waist, camelias at throat, gay little posies of old world charm peeping from low decolletages. All have a beauty that is irresistible.
White is triumphant for evening wear.
A classically cut gown of satin has its wide sleeves falling voluminously away from the wrists, its waist girdled loosely with silver cord. A robe for a vestal vir gin, forsooth.
A detachable plastron of silver sequins boasts a softly falling cowl back, and is a thing of beauty on whatever frock you will.
There is witchery in the frock of misty lace in pastel shades. Light and airy as thistledown, its only touch of reality is the vivid sash and huge bow that adorns it.

With an evening gown of crimson, huge ruffles of gathered tulle in brilliant green are slipped on just about the elbow. These ruffles are newer than sleeves, and offer tremendous scope for clever combinations.
A gold belt and gold slippers lift a black frock to dizzy heights.
Saris, Eastern-princess fashion cleverly modulated, are causing a sensation abroad.
This fascinating mode can be emulated by a cleverly arranged detachable scarf of immense width, that drapes over the head and falls in soft folds at the side.
Puffed sleeves, wide belts, bouffant skirts are in league to make waists slim mer than ever, and are very feminine in their appeal.
Charming gowns for informal evening wear, are made on shirtmaker lines, reaching to the toes, and depending on gay buttons and vivid belt or sash for their festive air.
Buttons, buckles and clips in the new composition “prystal,” a glass of delicious dullness, are a welcome change from the crystal and brilliant ornaments that have enslaved us for many seasons.
Slumber wear is more entrancing than ever. Cut on the cross and evolved in shimmering satin, nighties are scarcely distinguishable from evening gowns.
There is an ingenious new strapless brassiere on the market, guaranteed to stay up without assistance —a boon, since the off-the-shoulder mode still persists for evening wear. Its delightful twin, the pan tie girdle, is a marvellous foundation gar ment that eliminates all unnecessary bulk and gives the sleek, svelte line that spells success to both sophistication and sim plicity in modern clothes.
