To write notes by way of Invitation for these, affairs Is not ncccsary. It Is quite good form to write across tho top of one's visiting card the day of tho week and tho months, as I i MONDAY, NOVEMDEIl THE FIFTIL Helow tho namo or at tho lower left corner Bhould bo written: BRIDQE AT EIGHT O'CLOCK. I Ot courso, wcro etichro or hearts to ko played, tho namo of that gamo would bo placed on each card. Such an Invitation requires an Im mediate answer, that tho hostess may xhovo no difficulty In arranging for, the correct number of persons.

To Select Players The solectlon of players may bo jtffelMHIMf SOCIAL trHHHHMHHfiHMM REQAL WEDDING AT HOME OF LORD AND LADY PLAYFAIR. Lord and Lady I'layfalr, who spent last winter at tho Moana Hotel recent ly married their daughter tho Hon. Lucy Playfalr to Captain L. Soltau Hymons and the following Interesting account has been sent: Tho marrlago took place on Thurs-I day afternoon, at tho Minster Church, Wlmborno of the Honblo Lucy Jessie Lyon Playfalr, the only daughter of Lord Playfalr, C. V. O., Mcrley House, Wlmborno, and Capt. Llonol Culmo Soltau-Symons, Royal Warwickshire Regiment, youngest, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Soltau-Symons, of Chad UUiwood, Devon. Although Lord Play ititr has only recently come to reside In tho neighborhood Immense Interest was centred In the event, tho church being filled, whilst a number of pcoplo awaited the arrival and departure of the bridal pafty from tho outside. Tho Interior of tho church had been most tastefully adorned; on either Bldo of tho Btcps to tho altar were grouping of chrysanthemums, lilies nnd maidenhair ferns, overhung by drooping palms'; the choir Btalls were also bordered with whlto blooming plants, culminating In groups outside tho altar rails, whilst tho attar vases wero flllcd with masses of whlto chrysanthemums and arum lilies. Dur ing the assembling of the many guestB Mr. A. E. Wiltshire (organist) played the Bridal March from "Lohengrin" und Mendelssohn's "Corncllano," and ut tho conclusion of tho marrlago ceremony Mendelssohn's Wedding March. Tho officiating clergy wore tho Rov. Fcnwlck Fisher (Vlcnr of tho Minster), The Borvlco was fully choral, and tho hymns sung wero, "How wolcoinu was tho call" and "Pralso tho Lord," whilst tho 28th I'snlm was chanted. Thd bride was given away by her father (Lord Play falr), and looked most charming, wearing a beautiful gown of whlto natln, embroldorcd with centre panel of pearls and paste, tho skirt and bodlco being trimmed with frills and flounces of old Brussels lace, and tho Court train, which fell from the phouldors, with orange blossom and a bordering of lace, Falling over the crescent wreath of orange blossom, made by having scores numbered with tablo and couple, one set for tho men end tho other for the girls. Thus each Individual gets a score with "Tablo one, couplo two," or "Tablo two, couple one." Each person has n partner, finds him or her, and to gether tako their places at tho table. Handing around the scores Bhould always bo tho signal for beginning play, so continued talking or "visit ing" among tho other guests should cease. After tho game has begun each player Bhould remember that even though ho'or sho may not caro for cards ono's partner may bo a keen player, and It Is oiio'b duty to play well, always showing the utmost. cour tesy, under no circumstances allow ing oneself to bo drawn Into n dis cussion of any play or game. A "progressive" evening Is better than keeping tho tables unchanged, for by moving on when winning the guests seo more of one another. Light Refreshments Refreshments may be of tho light est sandwiches, a salad and Ico cream and cake being qulto sufficient Tho cakes and sandwiches may o baked or cut In card forms, hearts, clubs, spades and diamonds. Little, inexpensive cutters of tin nro made tor the purpose. The supper may be served cither In tho dining room or brought Into tho apartment where the guestB have been playing. In tho latter case small whlto covers should bo placed over the tablo tops. Tho men may do all tho Bervlng, no maid being necessary. This will bo quite simple If every thing Is ready to bo brought In. To have expenslvo prizes Is qulto unnecessary. Two or threo for girls ond two for tho men aro enough un less ono has more than four tables. A llttlo party such as this requires a call afterward from each guest, whether tho Invitation was accepted or refused. NOTES ' I was a Honlton laco veil; and tho mag nificent bouquet which tho brldo held (the bridegroom's gift) was composed of lilies of tho valloy, whlto carua- UonB, and foliage. Tho veil was the gift of tho Honblo. Lady Stowart (aunt of the brlk), nnd tho Brussels iace with which tho bride's dress was j trimmed was given by Major and tho HonbI- Mr8 Bloomlleld, also an aunt of tho bride. Seven children were In attendance on the bride; tho first two, tho Misses Jessie and Margaret Oakcs, acting as train bearors (cousins of the bride), and Miss Augusta Hick man, Miss Carol and Miss Eileen Qraham, and Miss Laura Coventry, und MIbs Popliam (nieces of tho bridegroom). They mado a very pretty spectacle, attired in white esprit net with frills edged with laco nnd palo bluo sashes; hats of esprit net with bows to correspond with their sashes, and carried bluo silk muffs, and woro pearl and enamel lockets and chains, tho gift of tho bridegroom. Captain tho Hon. W. Forester, Grenadier Guards, officiated as best man to tho bridegroom. At tho conclusion of tho ceremonies tho bells rang out a merry peal, and wcro lung at Intervals during tho remain der of tho day. Subsequently a largo ly attended reception Was held at Mcrley House, tho resldcnco of Lord and Lady Playfalr. Later In tho Afternoon Captain and tho Hon, Mrs. L. Soltau-Symons drovo to Broad Htono for London, en routo for tho Continent. Tho brldo travelled In dark green corduroy, with velvet hat to match,, trimmed with feathers, with i,tole and muff. Lady Playfalr woro hyacinth bluo crepe do chlno, em broidered in gold and copper, with molo coloured panno hat and ostrich feathers and furs; Mrs. Soltau-Symons, dark bluo taffeta and sables; tbe Hon. Lady Stowart, mauvo panno and embroidered chiffon, with hat to match; Edith Lady Playfalr, purplo panno with hat to correspond, with vloux roso flowers, boloro of nutria, stolo and muff of crmlno; Mrs. Devon cux Hickman, palo grey chiffon vel ours, deep flounce of old point Jo Venlse, hat to match with whlto foathers. Amongst others present in the church were Mrs. J. M. J. Flotcher. In prune velvet and silk, with old lace front and necklaco of pearls, with Totty was a little miss of five. One bright day In December she sat In tho big bay window of the library looking at a picture book, from which her grandnfumma had just been read ing a fairy talo to her. Just a min ute before grandmamma had gone to mamma's room to seo how mamma and the new baby brother were get ting on, and had told Totty to stop there in the sunslilno till she should eturn. Hut Tolly's heart was a bit heavy 'on this beautiful day. The stork had left new baby brother nt their house the night beforo, and Totty felt that sho no longer held tho place In her parents' hearts undivided. Even papa had hurried from the breakfast room to see how "Bulger" was getting on; and grandmamma, too, was so much taken up by the new arrival that she went to mamma's room every little while to see tho usurper In his cradle. Totty had been allowed to see the new baby brother as soon as sho was dressed that morning, but she bad not been in tho least demonstrative over him. The fact Is, Totty could not understand at all why there was such a fuss over that tiny thing, or the bald head and wrinkled, ugly face, no larger than a little puppy and not half so cute. Why, the new baby brother didn't even open his squinting eys, and he held his fingers all wadded up Into little fists. Now, had ho been fat, laughlngnnd crow ing Ilka the Browns' baby boy Totty would not have mtndcd his In trusion Into tho family so much, for she could huvo amused herself with him nt times when she had nothing olse to do. But this tiny thing, that didn't even know when he was spok en to won her condemnation rather than her admiration and affection. As Totty sat thinking over the new comer and feeling herself ousted from her rightful place, as supreme being In that household, her eyes fell on n picture In one of the Idly turned pages. It was of a fairy princess, leading a little golden-haired girl liko herself through flowers and vines. All about them were winged fairies flitting through tho air, and a magnificent golden castle roso majestically on a mountain top In the distance. Toward this castle the fairy was leading the little girl. Wish I could go homo with a fairy princes and become her little girl," mused Totty. "And I guess nobody would care, either, If I wero gone. That teen tsy-ween tsy thing upstairs takes my place now, and papa and mamma, and even grand mamma, wouldn't miss poor Tofty." Tho aggrlovcd little miss got up, went to her own little room which opened into grandmamma's room nnd got her hat und coat: she also bethought herself of her muff and tippet, for the weather was cold, and phe might have a distance to go bo- fore reaching her destination. After putting on her wraps down s-talrs, watching that no one might see her doing so, Totty stole softly out at tho back door and made off through tho snow-covered garden to ward the back gate. Once outside her own yard tho little miss' feet fairly flew down the alloy toward the big -road which led Into the country. "Thert's where tho fairies live," sho said, pointing toward a bluish line of timber in the distance. hat to match with whlto and grey foathers, Mrs. Fisher (Sturmlnster Marshall) woro cream Bcrgo, with grey hat and whfto and grey wings; Mrs. Harrington Brown (Charlton Marshall) woro brown, with large brown hat to match; Mrs. Fcnwlck Fisher also wore brown; whilst her daughter was in grey, with hat to match with whlto wings and furs. Mrs. Goodden Chtsholm (Ferndown) was In grey velvet and Bilk, with hat to match and Illumes. Lord Ischcster, Mr. G. E. Solly, J. P., nnd Mrs. Solly, Mr, und Mrs. C. E. Parko (Sturmln fcter Marshall), were also present. Tho presents wero numerous und valuable. Tho Tenants' ball wbb also a most Important factor and tho description is as follows: THE BALL. In commemoration of tho marrlago ot Captain and tho Hon. Mrs. Saltan- Hymons, Lord und Lady Playfalr gave a ball to tho tradesmen and the ser vants on Monday ocning, the Invl tntions, which wero extended to sev- oral of tho 'wihiborno tradespeople and employees, of tho various county families being sent out by the house- i 'treper (Mrs. Vnughan) who has been Plnvfnlr i In"! iv ,i,ii,fiiii I with I.ady Playfalr for fifteen years, hy nil prespnt. Tho tables woro bean Lord and Lady Playfalr wearing blnckfettftilly decorated, ' Grammama tole me so, an' Gram mama knows, 'causa she read It In the book." For a long time tho little one went on and on, but the bluish lino of timber seemed to become no nearer. The road she choso soon after reach ing the "big road" led her off over hills and through hollows that wero covered with last year's grass nnd brush, now dead and hanging full of recently fallen snow. Iter reason for taking this .unfrequented road wan to nvold the many people who came Into town by wagon or on foot over the "big road," as the main thor oughfare was called. Pretty soon Totty began to feel very tired, and she then realized that her hands and feet wero quite numb from tho cold. Her no6e, too, felt stinging, and she put her muff over it to thaw It out. "It's a long, long way off to where the falrless live," Bhe murmured. Then she began to feel some uneasi ness. Suppose sho should not reach the castle of the Fairy Princess be fore dark? "It'B all New Baby Brother's fnult," she declared em phatically to herself. "He came and mado mamma nnd papa forget me. FIND Tho Jockey awaits tho When ho shall Vnter And for nnother Jockey He Is looking back. velvet and diamonds. Lord Playfalr, having first accorded a kindly we!-: como to the guests In which ho hoped they would enjoy themselves, led off tho dancing with Mrs. Vnughan, nnd this was kept up with great spirit to tho strains of Mr. Cutler'B (Wlm borno) excellent quadrille band until , tho small hours of the morning. Mr. Wrlglcy mado an admirable M. C. his duties being carried out with con spicuous success. During tho evening i tho health of tho brldo and bridegroom was drunk; brlducako being handed lound ut the samo time. Other toasts honoured wcro those of Lord and Lady Playfalr und Mr Lyon Playfalr. I Tho ball took place In tho dining loom, which had becij olahoratolyj decorated for tho occasion. The sup-' per, a most sumptuous ono, was served at 1:30 n. in. In another largo, room of the mansion, and during Its; discussion Mr. Wilglcy, on behalf ot: the guests, very heartily thanked Mrs. Vaiighnn for tho groat tiouldo Hint sho had taken In providing so mag- nlflrent a Bprcnd To tho guests, who numbered from 120 to 130, tho event proved a sonrco of miieh enjoyment and the lilinlnp'-" of I ord nml t n'v I Jus' had to tome away from home, to I did." I But thero was u limit to Tolly's endurance, nnd after walking a very time her poor llttlo legs protested ngainst another btep, unless they might have a bit of rest. So Totty Bought out a fallen log, on ono sine of which thero was no snow, nnd dropping down beside it she rested her weary head against Its huge pro tecting body, and closed her eyes to rest. "Yes, It's nil tho Baby Brother's fault," she repeated. "Or, Is It tho fault of tho stork what brought It to our house? I'm goln' to tell the ' Fairy Princess to mako the storks keep nwny from Totty's home. We j don't wunt any more babies. I'd ' I much rather have kittens and pup ' pies. I can play with them, so I , I1 can." Then a delicious sense or drowsl- ness came over Totty, and feeling r.ulto comfortable from tho cold i the great log breaking tho wind rrcm her she proceeded to fall asleep. , But hardly had Bhe done so whon ' ' something soft touched her shoulder, : nnd, opening her eyes, Bhe saw stan-l ding besldo her tho most beautiful fnlry sho had ever seen plcturod In THE OTHER JOCKEY hour tho track; A charming bridge tea was given on Wednesday by Mrs. Harvey Murray at , her residence on Kceauinoku street. ) The looms wero decoruted with roses r.nd ferns, making spots of beauty for tl'o eye to rest upon, A handsomo gold-top cut glass, scent pump won by Mrs. McNab was given for tho highest Bcore, and the consolation prize, a fine china dish, was cut for( nnd won by Mrs. Hawes, Jr. Tho tea tablo was presided over by Mrii.

But something made her heart sink nnd a lump grow In her throat. Perhaps It wns tho thought of leaving forever her dear papa, mamma nnd grandmamma. Then that bit of a Now Baby Hoy might not always be so Insignificant and stupid. Some day he would learn to talk nnd walk and play. Then ho might be very nice. But Totty had come for the purpose of finding a fnlry mother, and she must not back down. "Very well, llttlo one," said tho beautiful fairy. "My carriage and winged Bnow-whlto horses will soon arrive and we'll to to Fairyland In a Jiff. Once there you'll nover, never return to the world again.

"An' don't thoy have birth day parties?" 4 "Oh, no, Indeed, my little dear," rssurcd the beautlrul fairy. "If wo lived as do the people from whom you come wo would not be fairies; we'd bo ordinary mortals. But thero romos my carriage; see It tn the air floating this way?"
