MISS PALMER'S CONCERT.

In response to Miss Palmer's invitation, a large audience assembled in the Temperance Hall on Saturday afternoon to hear an exceptionally good programme of instrumental and vocal music rendered by Miss Palmer and her pupils, with the assistance of several ladies and gentlemen. The first seven items were performed by the pupils. The concert opened with the overture to " Zampa," played on two pianos by Misses Whiting, Hellicar, and Wootton, followed by a trio by the Misses Rech and Miss Ironsides , a piano solo by Miss Wootton, a trio by Misses Bolton and Whiting, a piano solo by Miss M. Ironsides and Miss Jessie Hellicar, and a Spanish dance (duet) of Moszkowsia's, played by the Misses Enid and Elaine Whiting. Miss Palmer's pupils do her great credit, both in the finish and style of their playing ……..

On the 16th inst. It is always pleasant to chronicle an evening of real enjoyment to little folks, and Mr. and Mrs. Aston J. Watkins' ball (fancy dress) which took place at their residence, Coeldangred, Randwick, on the evening of June 22, might fairly be reckoned among such. There were about 40 small guests, some of the dresses being very pretty. Miss Yvonne Leverrier, who, by the-way, is a most promising little student of the violin, appeared as Madame de Pompadour; Miss Enid Whiting as a Spanish lady, and Miss Sylvia Whiting as Snowflake. 'The Girl Graduate (Miss Hilda Alecks), French Peasant (Miss Jeanne tiauveron), Red Riding Hood (Miss Eileen Marshall), and Toreador (Master Keith Whiting), were all present, and the hostess also adopted the pretty and picturesque costume of a Normandy peasant, while Master Jack Watkins appeared as an Iolanthe pour. Among the other children we noticed the Misses Edie and Alice Rich, Miss Elaine Whiting, Misses Lottie and Rubv Lee, Miss Jessie Hellicar, Master Victor ATecks, Miss Lily Fesq, the Masters Fesq, Master Harry tiauveron, Master Tom Alatrinson, Master Anderson, Master Willie tilierwin and others.

The success attendant on Miss Palmer's concert on April 7 was met half way by a lovely moonlit evening, and perfect harmony resulted. The Y.M.C.A. Hall was crowded with a gaily-dressed assembly of friends and relatives, who grow wildly enthusiastic as each family idol appeared and made her little bow. Miss Palmer, amongst other things, is to be greatly congratulated on having selected bright, crisp, effective, and short pieces for her pupils, although they all played very well indeed, it is possible to tire of long-winded pupils' pieces. Graceful delicate fingering, marked time, musical appreciation, and absence of playing for effect, were the predominating features of the first part of the programme. Miss Elaine Whiting, Miss Wooten, Miss Wolinski, Misses Powell, Bolton, Coppard, Holloway, and Clarke, Misses Eecb and Ironside, Misses Alderson, Whiting, Miss Foster and Master Tooth, Miss Enid Whiting, and Miss Mackay were the young ladies who discoursed really sweet music which was enjoyed by all. Many baskets and bouquets rose to the occasion, and these unexpected tributes were received with refreshing modesty. Miss Palmer managed everything herself, and deserves the plaudits that greeted her pupils, for they have been excellently trained. Probably many who played so prettily to the big audience are the ones who would say if asked to play at home : " Oh, no, we can't play a note," but it is to be hoped the Bystera of training received will banish all such unwomanly timidity. Pupils concerts like this are pleasurable all round. Miss Portas gave a grand recitation of " The Ballad of Silence," the weird attire was very effective, and her dramatic intonation, pathos, and force enhanced the solemn beauty of the piece. Mr. Evans Harp was indisposed, suffering from prevailing moist weather, hoarseness, so we lost a musical treat. Mr. Chambers kindly and most effectively filled the vacant chair, and sang a beautiful thing that suited his mellow cultured voice, Mr. Poussard accompanying on the violin. A quartette by Messrs. Evans, Bates, Chambers, and Walcot was a masterpiece of harmony, their voices blended in perfect unison, the absence of accompaniment being like a rippling sea without the waves of ferry boats. Miss Deane's powerful voice was like a fountain of water which could be thrown anywhere at will, soaring up in pure sweetness, then breaking into floods of, melody, rippling, into tricklets and bursts of tiny broken waterfalls; floating like spray glistening, and leaping from high to low with ease. …………..

SOCIAL,

A numerous company assembled at Ascham, Darling Point, at 11 o'clock on the 19th instant, when, at the invitation of Miss Wallis, Mrs. Lingen distributed the prizes to the pupils. In the programme musical numbers alternated with recitations in French, German, and English. In

the last a scene from ' The Rivals,' studied under Mr. Laurence Campbell, was given by Misses Lingen, Marks, Boyle, and Dixson with excellent effect. Miss Gladys Mort ' L'echeveau de fil,' Miss B. Macdonald ' L'enfant et le Miroir,' Miss Ethel Lingen 'Le Meunier de Sans Souci,' and Misses Q. Mort and E. Latham in ' Une amie d'enfance,' contributed the French ; *' Der Blomen Bache,' by Miss Ethel Latham, represented the German ; whilst Miss Rene* Cohen in 'Lady Clare,' and an extract from ' iEneid,' by Miss Maud Hordern, completed the English numbers. Miss M. Jones, ' Bluette ;' Miss E. Lingen, ' Mazurka des . Traineaux;' 'Mondscheinfahrt,'MissGladysTeece; 'Spinnlied,' Miss May Lingen ; 'Andante et rondo capriccioso,' Miss E. Harrison ; ' Rondo brillanre,' Misses Q. Mort and M. Pilcher, were the pianoforte selections ; and Miss E. Whiting was the solo violinist in a selection from ' La Sonnambula.' The school forces combined in the Narcissus Dance and Neotsfield Waltz, and in singing a Christinas carol. Mrs. Lingen drew attention to the facts that three pupils had passed the Junior examination, and that the Fairfax prize and medals for French and German had been won at the recent University examinations. The music was good, and the drawings and paintings were in some instances very creditable. Misses Lingen, Harrison, and G. Teece were the most successful musically. The parents of most of the pupils and other friends were present. In the evening Miss Wallis gave a dance.

Dear Andrew,

Thank you for your recent enquiry about the attendance of the four Whiting sisters at Ascham during the 1890s and early 1900s.

Firstly, I can confirm that all four sisters attended the school. Secondly, thank you for your information about their dates of birth and their relationship with Linda and Eileen Teece, about which we had no record.

Unfortunately, our records during the time of the first Principal, Miss Marie Wallis, are almost non-existent. Consequently, we have also had to rely on the digitised newspapers for any information about students who attended the school before 1902 and we also had the same information about the violin performance of E Whiting in 1894. I’m sorry that I am not able to confirm whether it was Enid or Elaine.

The only other information we hold about any of the girls is as follows:

Enid (Mrs E N Waters) –two original telegrams sent by Enid in both 1894 and 1895 to classmate Ethel Lane Latham who won the Fairfax Junior and Senior Prizes for being the top girl in the State in the final school exams. There is also a reference to her marriage in the March issue of the school magazine in 1905

Elaine (Mrs R A Phipps-Waugh) – two similar telegrams as mentioned above. Her marriage to Dr Phipps-Waugh is referenced in the September issue of the school magazine, 1905

Sylvia (Dossie) – engagement mentioned in June issue of school magazine, 1904

Vera – potentially appears in two group photographs from 1901 and approximately 1904 held in archives (would need to check); debut at Union Club Ball mentioned in school magazine, May issue, 1906.

I hope this provides you with some helpful information. If you would like copies of the photographs and telegrams, please let me know.

Kind regards,

Ms Marguerite Gillezeau

The success which attended the initial performance of "As You- Like It" in the picturesque grounds of Mona, Darling Point, on Thursday evening, must be most gratifying to those who worked so untiringly to that end, and that most deserving charity, the Sick Children's Hospital, will benefit considerably by their exertions. Mrs. Ernest Coombe made a charming Rosalind, the 16th century style of dressing in the first scone suiting her admirably. Her gown was of soft, clinging cream material, with a touch of rose pink. Miss Lilian Booth contrasted bine with her cream gown, and looked very dainty. As it was the first open-air performance given, there was considerable diversity in the opinion as to costumes among the audience, and those who favored walking toilettes, and wore their hats, certainly looked the most comfortable, for the weather was decidedly cold and unsettled. Among those present were Rear-Admiral Sir Lewis Beaumont, Miss Rawson, and several members of his staff, Mr. Justice M. H. and Mrs. Stephen, Miss Thea Stephen, Miss Huthwait, Miss Walker, Miss Primrose, Airs. Consett and the Misses Stephen, Miss Elaine Whiting, Miss Aloln, Mrs. Moore, Miss Tait, Mrs. Gilchrist, Miss Paige, Mrs. Sarren, Miss Alary Jones, Mr. AI. Stephen.

entertainments hold during the "breaking-up" season. There was a large gathering of ladies Interested in the work, as well as a good attendance of the general public. Among others present were Mrs. John Sec, Major and Mrs. Robertson, Mrs. E. Kater, Mr. and Mrs. Featherstonhaugh, Mr. S. Cook, and Mesdames Gibbs, Rankin, Whiting, and Bennett. The children who took part numbered about 150, and wore drawn from the ranks of the Newtown, Woolloomooloo, and Miller's Point schools. They were under the direction of Mrs. J. G. Dane, who Is at the head of Kindergarten work In this State, and went through many pretty and graceful marching and rhythmical movements, to the accompaniment of music supplied by Miss Cook (piano), and Mrs. Elaine Whiting and Miss A. Allen (violins). The games were also set to music and were designed to Illustrate some simple phase of home life which would appeal to the children and help them to realise their own special place In the family. For Instance, a game of washing was played, which emphasised the inter-dependence both of man and of nature. Man Is dependent upon nature for water, for wind, and for sunshine to carry out Ills work, while the loving co-operation of father, mother, and children Is necessary for the comfort and success of the home. Some of the children represented tubs, In which mother and child washed the clothes which the father brought In his cart; others represented clothes-lines and props. The wind and the sunbeam dried the clothes, which were then gathered and placed In baskets for the father to carry hack to their owners. Several other games on similar lines were carried out, and won the admiration of those present for the work accomplished by the teachers. At the conclusion of the entertainment the children were rewarded with gifts from n Christmas tree.

The Lancer Ball.

The Parramatta Lancer Ball, on Friday, June 11th, at the Parramatta Town Hall, was a pronounced success, notwithstanding that the weather thereabouts gave threatenings of much mild dampness. Friday itself was a fairly fine day ; and the rain held up till things in connection with the ball were really well on the way. The general arrangements of the ball were under the control of a committee, the treasurer of which was Q.M.S. O'Connor and the active and keen-witted secretaries were Lieutenant A. J. Mills and S.S.M. Smith. These soldiers, and others, worked hard on Thursday evening, to make things ready tor the ladies who had charge of the decorations in the dancing hall — Mrs. Peak and Miss Ferguson. Mrs. T. D. Little and Matron Rutter (of the P.D. Hospital) had undertaken to; arrange the decorations in the supper-room;- In each instance the most favorable results had been, secured. - In the' main hall the lattice-work fronting the proscenium was decked with flowers, whilst the motto of the regiment, 'Tones et fidelis,' shone out opposite, from the front of the gallery, and' a wealth of palms and ferns and bunting completed a most striking and picturesque 'tout ensemble.' Upstairs in the council chambers, grotty lamp-shades; Lancers' favors, and winter blooms, had been utilised with much success about the supper tables. The music, which was excellent in quality, was rendered by a capable string band under Sgt. Tavlor. Mrs. Richardson, caterer, had charge of the detail work in the supper room. THE DRESSES. The function being the first big, affair in Parramatta since the opening of the dancing season, as was. to be expected, some handsome gowns wore to be seen.

THE DRESSES.

WHAT WAS WORN.

The final day of the spring carnival was probably the most enjoyable of the four days. The weather was delightful, the crowd not so large, and in four out of the six racing events the favourite was first past the post. With regard to the frocking, it was remarkable on mentally reviewing the fashions and colours in evidence on each day that to sum up the whole effect judgment is in favour of neutral and pastel tints. The one-piece costume is not nearly so much favoured as the coat and skirt, save in the lingerie robes. The hats, were in many instances as large as the parasols. High collars have had their day. The draped skirt is feeling its way, and veils, gloves, shoes, and hose are en suite with either the chapeaux or gowns worn. Satur-day's frocking was notable for the numerous tints, ranging from frielle and cafe au lait to dull string colouring, and from cream and clay tones to French khaki and pale apricot. Of course, there were a dozen or so gowns of richer and brighter colouring that stood out conspicuously, among them being a crepe de chine in the new brilliant tint which depicts the vivid pink of the azalea. To tone the brightness down a drapery of black ninon partly veiled the crepe de chine, and a large black hat was worn. In striking contrast was a picture-like figure of the early Victorian type. The frock was of rather stiff white silk that stood out with a modified crinoline effect.

Necessarily there was a big display of bunting, with the grand old British flag everywhere, predominant (occasionally draping the Royal Arms); the Commonwealth '. ensign, and hero and thoro splashos ot hunting effectively entwined :about. tho pillars and gallery railings. An abundance of palms and evergreens gave the little necessary relief to the brighter colors, tho general cnseriible being

DRESSES AND ATTENDANCE

MELBOURNE, Sunday. — Derby Day always partakes more or less of the nature of a dress parade. With the Oaks it ranks as an opportunity to see and be seen, and, to their credit be it said, the women on Saturday appeared to………….most important factor, the weather,- was in their favor, and there were many lovely gowns. Nevertheless, the crowd somewhat interfered with an adequate display, and the glories of many a triumph of the dressmaker; art were lost to what must have been under more fortunate circumstances a highly appreciative world. There were chances, however, to note that, as was apparent at the Sydney Spring meeting, Dame Fashion has recovered a certain sense of the fitness of things which she seemed to have totally lost during part of the recent season. There were no freak fashions, the skirts are sensibly wider and the hats are smaller. Not a cart-wheel blocked the view from the lawn on Saturday— a fact that in such a dense crowd made for the comfort, not only of the general public, but of the wearers themselves. One was struck with the apparent rage for feathers. Nearly every hat boasted at least one lancer or Fleureuse plume, and many of the larger hats showed several. It was a healthy sign of the prosperity that reigns. Ostrich feathers are a costly form of ornamentation, particularly the kinds just mentioned. The helmet hat,

which is obviously a revival of an early empire mode, shared the honors with the picture hat, this latter varying a little, only as to curve and width. The tunic overskirt has to a great extent lost favor, and is replaced with a flowing; clinging drapery, with something resembling the old-fashioned flounce. The fichu is another welcome and extremely graceful revival. As to colors, they are still blues and greys, and the ultra smart show a marked preference for black and white. Yellows in every tone are fashionable, and in conjunction with black were noted amongst the best dresses on Saturday. The vice-regal . boxes were well filled. The Governor-General was accompanied by Lady Denman, and attended by Lord Richard Nevili, Sir Walter Barttelot, Major Quilter, Captain Stewart Richardson, Mr. Vernon, and Captain Nutting. The Governor of Victoria and Lady Fuller were present, attended by the members ot their suite. Admiral King-Hall (who is the guest of their Excellencies) was attended by Flag-Lieutenant Seton. The Governor of South Australia and Lady and Miss Bosanquet were also ot tho vieo-regal party; also Captain and Mrs. Verney, Miss Quirk,' Miss Phipps, and Miss Ogllvie. ……Mrs. Phipps Waugh (Parramatta), gown of lime green crepe de chine over soft satin, and a black hat with ostrich feathers. Mrs. Waters wore biscuit-colored ninon over saun, and a black hat.

After, the showers the lawns in front of the members' stand were fresh and green, while the garden beds were ablaze with phlox and other bright flowers. There was nothing specially startling in the way of toilettes, and as a rule rather sombre gowns were worn on account of the uncertain = appearance of the skies. …………..

DRESSES AT FLEMINGTON YESTERDAY.

(BY WIRE.— FROM OUR SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE.)

Derby Day was -unfortunately wet this year, but despite the fact that the lawn at Flemington was not much used by the women-folk, it did not deter them from wearing beautiful frocks and costly leathered hats, a feature being the elaborate lace coat, which put the finishing touches to their toilettes. Tailormade coats and skirts in silk serge ' and cloth were also much in evidence, and worn with a. small hat with, an osprey or ribbon bow, and were most suitable for. the weather conditions. Weird and grotesque gowns and untimely were not as uuli^cuuic as in iuimci years, the most striking note being 'elegant simplicity.' ………………………... Mrs. Phipps Waugh (Parramatta) . Venetian point lace over white chiffon satin ; large black Tagal ,hat, with black feathers. 'Mrs. E. Needham Waters, blue and gold shot-silk, with Irish Guipure lace; saxe blue Tagal hat, with black and white ospreys.

Dear Sheelah, — This year's 'Cup' ds likely to be remembered as one brimming over with disappointment. To the women, because their pretty flimsy frock had either to be reposefully in their folds of tissue paper, or risk destruction 'neath a macintosh; to the men, because an 'absolute certainty' ran nowhere, and Duke Foote's failure once more demonstrated the fascinating uncer tainty of the sport of kings. For over a week the steamer and railway traffic to Melbourne has been submitted to a severe strain, for each year 'The Cup' seems to attract a larger number of visitors. . The Sydney contingent was exceedingly numerous, and in addition a number of Sydney people who have been abroad just timed their return to arrive in Melbourne this week. Included amongst the visitors from this city were noticed: The Lord-

Mayor of Sydney, and the deputy Town Clerk-- (Mr. W. G. Layton), Dr. and Mrs. Herbert Kendall, Mr and Mrs. Anthony Hordern, Brigadier-General Gordon and Miss J£:lcen:- Gordon, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Richards, Mrs. Neil M 'Donald, Mrs. Bridge, Miss Muriel Bridge, Mr. and Mrs. Francis Foy, Miss Macken, Superintendent Rochs, Mr. Leslie Walford. Mr. and Mrs. Prescott, Misses O'Donnell (Mingay), Mr. R. N. Southwell, Mr. and Mrs. Reginald White, Dr. and Mrs. Phipps Waugh, Mrs. E. Waters,


SOCIAL ITEMS

The weather was perfect for the garden party given by their Excellencies, Lord and Lady Denman, at Federal Government House on Friday afternoon (writes our special social representative in Melbourne), when the frocking was ' extremely smart. The Admiral and Lady Kins-Ha'll were present, also Sir John and Lady Fufier. Lady Denman wore a gown of mignonette-green taffeta, with tunic of Venetian point lace, embroidered in Eastern design of lace ; picture hat of mignonette-green with large feathers of. the same color. Her jewels were pearls, diamonds, and emeralds. ………….Mrs. Phipps Waugh, white lingerie gown and Irish, guipure lace-;

The weather was all that could be wished for the holidays, so the crowd on Boxing Day at Randwick was the biggest ever seen at this time of the year. Quite a holiday crowd, too, out for enjoyment, and there was a very large sprinkling of country people. Some of the ladies' frocks were charming, especially the white ones, which are so essentially suitable for our climate. One hardly knows which to admire most, the plain and simple type of white gown of linen,' or cotton voile, which washes so splendidly,' or the dainty ninons, cobwebby muslins,, and supple crepe de chines, trimmed with lace and relieved with a touch of black, or ,a knot o; some brightly-tinted ribbon. 'Sometimes a bunch of flowers at the waist gives a' note of contrast, and is a dainty fad much followed just at the moment. Some of the posies worn are so natural as to easily pass as the real flowers. The Vice-regal boxes were unoccupied, but the various stands were packed almost unpleasantly. Amongst those noticed were : The Lord

Mayor' (Aid. Clarke), Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Kelly, Mr. and Mrs. F. M'Master, Mrs. Waters (Melbourne), Mrs. Phipps Waugh,

Sydney Mail (NSW : 1912 - 1938), Wednesday 8 January 1913, page 22

FINE weather crowned the last day of Tattersall's race meeting with success, and the blue sky and bright sunshine tempted many well-known race patrons to don their prettiest and airiest frocks. Cool looking white muslins, inlet with embroidery, and trimmed largely with lace, were much in evidence, these being crowned with hats of the shady order wreathed with flowers or trimmed . with smart upstanding mounts. Some black and white dresses, too, came in for a good share of admiration. ……….Mrs. Phipps Waugh was accompanied by her sister, Mrs. E. A. Waters, of Melbourne. The latter was dressed in shot blue and gold taffeta, with a short tunic of nattier blue ninon; hat of burnt straw with shaded blue and brown feathers.

NOTHING more trying than; the weather for tile first day of the' Anniversary meeting at Randwick could possibly be Imagined, and it was little wonder that many familiar faces were missing. In spite of tne dry weather, which.miaide the racecourse and the surroundings look dull and brown, the garden beds were ablaze with flowers, the wide border at the foot of the front lawft being a mass of crimson salvia, phlox, dianthus, and .other lovely blossoms. The heat was intense during the afternoon, and even the ' most enthusiastic of the visitors felt that the sport hardly compensated for the discomfort of the climatic conditions. „;,The band helped to beguile the time. AS a rule white frocks were in evidence, and white embroidered muslins were almost a livery. These, worn with shady hats and white shoes, made the owners look and feel comparatively cool. Mrs. D. I McMaster chose a fine white muBlln dotted 1 with embroidered spots, and trimmed with guipure, the accompanying white hat being swathed with a -white -scarf. Mrs. Laurence Brown chose a white lingerie dress and a banana-coloured straw hat' with flowers. Mrs.- Ernest Smart's white muslin was worn with a coatee of embroidery, and a white hat with clusters pt flowers. Miss Enid Bayly came in white muslin inlet with insertion, her tuscan straw hat having old rose ostrich feathers. Mrs. Phipps Waugh's coat and skirt of ivory Ottoman silk was worn with a 'white turban toque. Mrs. Irving Keys was in white nlnon, with a long co&t of black nlnon and a purple hat finished with an upstanding mount.

FROCKING AT THE A.J.C. MEETING.

The delightfully cold, crisp weather of yesterday made the Winter meeting of the A.J.C. 'most enjoyable, and the' lawns at Randwick looked particularly attractive after- the recent rains. The attendance was not as large as usual on account of the football match at the Cricket Ground and the polo practice at Kensington, but the women folk who were present were noticeably smart in their elegant frocks and furs. ………… Mrs. Phipps Waugh (Parramatta), white cashmere-de soie, with lace collar and cuffs;

ON THE LAWN.

A PICTURESQUE PANORAMA.

A day, almost similar as regards weather conditions to the Saturday experienced In Sydney when Berogoon won the A.J.C. Derby, was ' the remark of a well-known Sydney woman as she chatted on the terrace at Flemington prior to the race for the V.R.C. Derby. So the thousands of Sydneyites who read of BeraRoon's second blue ribbon victory will know that Saturday In Melbourne was one of bright warm sunshine, and a light cool breeze, an ideal day tor being out of doors. ………..

Large luncheon parties wore given In both the Federal and State dining rooms, and, de-parting from, the custom in vogue since Lord Denman has entertained at 1'Teirilngton, his luncheon table was decorated with groupings' of such lovely pink roses as Dorothy Perkins, Maman Cochet, Papa Gautier, and Cecil Brunner, ………… Mrs. Phipps Waugh, cream silk veiled in pa lo ficelle net, Inlet with crochet lace, sash In Jade green crepe-de-chine, and a black hat with Jade green "roses. Her sister, Mrs. E. Waters, wore cream damascene crepe

and, sash of royal purple embroidered in Eastern shades; dark moss-green and tan straw hat, clustered with purple velvet convolvuti.


STEEPLECHASE DAY DRESSES. .

SUMMER GOWNS AND A CLOUDLESS SKY.

A' day o£ gloriously bright warm sunshine,' tempered by a light cool breeze, made the final day of the Cup Carnival one of great Treasure to. The vast crowd assembled, at the Flemington Racecourse to witness ,the Steeplechase Day programme of events.,

Although many of the interstate visitors took their departure from Melbourne on Friday, yet there was a very largo attendance for the final day of the Cup carnival, among whom were the Governor-General and Lady Denman, whoso interest in . horse-racing Is further exemplified by his Excellency's colours being placed in the principal race on Satur-day.

Among the New South Wales people noticed were ……….. Mrs. Phipps Waugh, soft white chiffon satin veiled in silk muslin, embroidered with currant pink silk; smart sash In the same rich pink, and a Tuscan hat with pink plume, encircled with a high quilling of ecru tulle.


Steeplechase Day was gloriously fine, and a little warmer than the previous Saturday, so fashion's vagaries held full sway, and there were many revelations oi: the new modes. Sydney women held their own sartorially, and were on the whole a very decorative element on Flemington lawns. Lady Denman's gown was in a pale shade of yellow chiffon satin draped with ninon ; the bodice simulated the coatee effect finished with a wide belt of moire ribbon ; fallings of soft ivory lace finished the corsage, whilst a small Medici ruffle of navy blue tulle was set at the back of the neck; hat of black tulle. The party in the viceregal enclosure included also the Lieutenant Governor (Sir John Madden) and Lady Madden, Rear-Admiral Sir George Patey, the Hon. Harold and Mrs. Pearson, Lord Richard Nevill, Captain Sir Walter and Lady Barttelot, Captains Burham, Cresspin, Pollock, Caro, and Flag-Lieutenant Poe. Others present include: Sir George and Lady Reid, Madame Nordica, Mr. and Mrs. John M'Cormack, Mr. Sam Hordern, Dr. and Mrs. Phipps Waugh, Mrs. E. Waters,

Fire at Dr. Waugh’s.

Shortly after '2 o'clock on Wednesday morning, the maids who enjoy open-air. sleeping on the rear verandah at Dr. Phipps Waugh's residence, Marsden-st., were wakened by a bright glare and the crackling of burning wood. Looking into the courtyard below they discovered the motor garage enveloped in flames. Their cries soon roused the doctor and his faithful man-servant, Benjamin Allen, as well as the telephone assistants who were working up above. Young Allen rushed out of his room and straight through the, flames by the door, behind which was a large touring car. Although the brake was on the young man pushed the car. out of danger, and then looked 'round to see what else he could save. But, there was no hope of saving anything- else, although the Parramatta firemen, with S. O. Alchin In charge, were on the spot within six minutes of receiving the call, and with one hydrant kept the fire from spreading. The fire was very fierce for about an hour. The garage was of fibre-cement, with Hmhoiv «iinnnrtK nnfl Iron roof. The fibre resisted the flames, but the heat caused the panels to burst with the noise of a cannon-shot. Mr. Pollock and others who live some distance away were awakened by the noise, and wondered where the war had broken out . Fortunately, a small car was away getting re-painted. -This car was usually kept in the part of the building in which the fire broke out. The origin of the fire is unknown. The garage was locked up for the night shortly after 6 o'clock. Many valuable parts and the usual garage outfit were destroyed, in addition to the building. The damage was estimated at £100, which Is covered by insurance. The Granville firemen were also on the scene shortly before the fire was. got under. Constables Connors and Constable were also quickly on the spot.

THE DRESSES.

HAREM VEILS AND FREAK HATS INVASION OF COUNTRY VISITORS

Black frocks were to be seen In dozens, and black velvet and moire hats were so numerous as to be as uninteresting as the uniform felt headgear of the mere men. The crowd was a large and showy one, but not nearly so elite and Icily select as on Saturday. The Royal Show must have, been deserted, unless a fresh relay of country people arrived in time to fill the gap, for the stands and lawns at Randwick were packed' with sun-tanned women and brown-handed men. …………. Mrs. Phipps Waugh's bright blue gown was distinguishable In the crowd, and she saved one of the new feather mounts from her blue hat.

There were some exceedingly pretty dresses, and the competition for the prizes was keen. ………..Mrs. Phipps Waugh, rose colored charmeuse;

THE SPRING MEETING.

The opening day of the Spring Meeting was, contrary to expectations, quite as well attended as that of former seasons. The weather was delightful — a real spring day; in the' sunshine almost too hot, and in the shade of the big stands just a little chilly. The gowns and chapeaux were perhaps a trifle less expensive in appearance', but their charm was in no way diminished in consequence. ………….. Mrs. Phipps Waugh, smart silk coat and skirt in lemon tints, and a white hat.

Cloudy skies and a cutting wind changed the scene completely at Randwick on the, last day of the races. Flimsy muslins, laces, and feathers disappeared as if by the wave of a fairy wand, and out came comfortable tailored suits and cosy fur. coats and wraps. The smallest and trimmest of hats in velvet and felt were the only wear in the easterly wind which blew with considerable force for most of the day. ………..Others present were, ……………….. Dr. and Mrs. Phipps Waugh, Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Denison.


DERBY DAY DRESSES, BURBERRY COATS FOR THE RAIN.

The Cup Carnival in Melbourne has for many years been looked upon as a weak over-crowded with the pleasures derived from social life In all its sections, and it has always been the custom tor prominent residents of fashionable suburbs to entertain on a large scale, either at the races, where luncheons and afternoon teas are enjoyed under the vino avenue, or by giving sumptuous dinners and elaborately-arranged, balls. ………….

Among the New South Wales visitors pre-sent wore the Lord Mayor of Sydney and the Lady Mayoress, who, together with the Deputy Town Clerk and Mrs. Layton, also Mr and Mrs. Tom Morrow and others, were the guests at luncheon of Mr. and Mrs. roux Booth. …………..Mrs. Phipps Waugh .(Parramatta), pistache green cloth coat and skirt, with facings of white pique and a - small white hat encircled with white and parchment coloured ivy leaves and marigolds. Her sister, (Mrs. E. Waters) wore a costume of natural Assam silk, the collar being of Venetian guipure, hat of cerise tagel, with flowers en suite.


Dr. and Mrs. Phipps Waugh, of Parramatta, are among the Cup visitors. Mrs. Waugh went to Melbourne primarily to meet her mother, Mrs. Whiting, who has been travelling in Europe during the past two years. Another daughter, Mrs. E. Waters, whom Sydney folks remember as pretty Miss Enid Whiting, resides in Melbourne, and was present with her people at the races and other festivities.

DERBY DRESSES.

The V.R.C. Spring Carnival at Flemington corn mencert on Saturday, under most unfavourable weather conditions. Rain begun to fall in the forenoon, and. continued almost

without intermission throughout the day. several of the races being actually run in the rain. The result was that ladies who have been wont to regard Derby Day as the first great dress-parade of the Carnival were compelled to remain enveloped in mackintoshes throughout the day. This was all the more regrettable from the fact that Mr. Secretary Byron Moore had all the lawns and promenades looking beautiful in their spring verdure—pleasing and tempting to the eye, but impracticably damp to the feet.

Mrs. E. Waters—navy voile, figured . in a tiny crimson pattern and finished with a belt in the same shade ; navy hat, set with a crimson rose. ………….. Mrs. Phipps-Waugh (Sydney)—lime-green coat and skirt : white hat, with limc-green velvet trimmings.

' ON THE LAWN.

FREAK FASHIONS.

There was not the same subdued note about the autumn dresses at Randwlck on Saturday that marked last year's spring meeting. True, the navy serge suit, which has- almost become an institution, predominated. But on the other hand, some had allowed their fancy to run

riot, with the result that their toilettes caused a good deal of hilarity. One innocent man from the country inquired if thero was to be a fancy dress parade on the lawn. He said ho had seen several ladies in fancy costume, one as a Pierrot, another as a shepherdess, and a third with a horse-blanket draped about her. -What is known as the X-ray blouse was also to be seen, and one wondered why it was permitted. Remarks were heard to the effect that, owing to the festive appearance of the scene, the only indications of the war were the preponderance of naval, military, Russian, and Belglun effects in the frocking. Black velvet and black velours hats vied as first favorites, and tete-de-negre velvet came a good second. Flared skirts, regarded with suspicion as the precursor of the crinoiino, wore much in evidence.

___ Other visitors included Sir Samuel Griffith, the Lord Mayor, Mr. W. G. Layton, tho Rajah of Pudukota, Mr. Arthur Allen, Mr. Adrian Knox, Mrs-Gordon Wesche, Mrs. Phipps.Waugh,

Freeman's Journal (Sydney, NSW : 1850 - 1932), Thursday 8 April 1915, page 28

All doubts about the weather for first day of the Easter races were set at rest when Saturday was ushered in fine and. dry. Just a little too hot for winter fashions perhaps, but there was not much to grumble at, and viewed as a fashion parade; the scene was eminently

satisfactory, for with the exception of a few eccentric garbs the dressing was in good taste, and one noticed an absence of glaring colours and freak effects.

Others present were : The Lord' Mayor, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Hordern, Mr. Thomas Hughes, Dr. 0' Gorman Hughes, Dr. and Mrs. F. W. Langton, Dr. and Mrs. Kearney, Mr. Charles llegan, Mr. Hourigan, Mr. A.

'A Parramatta Ward

The Soldier-'s Only Child. A Sad Story of the War.

Associated with the life of Captain Charles Edward Leer, who was amongst the Australian officers to fall in the preliminary military operations at the Dardanelles, is a story which begins in romance and ends in tragedy. For many years Captain Leer had been a teacher in the New South Wales Department of Public Instruction, and it was while stationed at the Rockdale Public School that he met the lady who was to become his wife. He was a pupil at the school, and. at one time was in the class taught by him. An attachment sprung up between the pair, but subsequently, when the captain's duties took him to another school, they drifted' apart. Eventually, however, they met again, and were married. The romance of their courtship continued through portion' of their married life, and when the captain, then an ordinary soldier, went: to South Africa to fight in the Boer war, his wife and baby girl took up their residence near the scene of hostilities. It was the next war in which the Empire was involved which was to bring the romantic career of Captain and Mrs. Leer to a close in a succession of tragic events involving them both, as well as the captain's mother. Captain Leer had not been in camp long before his wife took ill.' It was a serious illness, and Mrs. Leer, realising that, there -was no possibility of recovery, expressed to her relatives the belief that it would not bo long before her 'husband would be sent after her by an enemy bullet, and there would be a happy re-union hereafter. A short time afterwards, or about a fortnight before Captain Leer sailed, she died; and now, after a lapse of less than eight months, her husband has been killed. Captain Leer went away a very grief-stricken man, because the sorrow of the death of his wife was accentuated' by the loss of his mother a week later. Their one child, Miss Zillah'

Leer, is living in Parramatta with Dr. and Mrs. R. Phipps 'Waugh. When only five years old the child was sent to Miss Joan Waugh's boarding school. Her mother was not then very strong. About six years ago she returned home and had been living with her father until he left for the war. When he decided to go to the front Captain Leer, knowing the child's attachment to all of the Waugh family, especially the doctor and his large-hearted wife, asked Dr. Waugh if he would be one of her guardians and allow her to live with him. Dr. Waugh, who at that time was told that his services for the war would not be required for some time, was glad of the opportunity to make it easy for another soldier who was leaving, and now the doctor hopes that Captain Leer's daughter will still be left under his guardianship. It is Mrs. Waugh 's intention to adopt the child, who is now a young lady sixteen years of 'age, and if arrangements can be made to take her with them to England when they sail next Saturday.


The appreciation of the members of Lodge Star of Britannia, G.U.O.O.F., Parramatta, of the services of Dr. Phipps Waugh, who for years has acted as their medical officer, was nicely and unobtrusively expressed on Thursday, when a farewell letter was delivered at the doc tor's residence, together with a very useful little present. Dr. Whiting (with the assistance of a locum tenens) will attend to Dr. Waugh's practice during his absence.

Dr. and Mrs. Phipps Waugh leave by the Mooltan next Saturday for London, where the doctor's services will be utilised for our wounded soldiers.


There was a great, gathering to see the Mooltan off from Sydney. Amongst the voyageurs- were Dr. and Mrs. Phipps Waugh, their two children and Nurse Atkinson, Miss Zillah Leer (daughter of Capt. Leer, who was killed in the Dardanelles), Miss [Vera] Whiting (Mrs. Waugh's sister), Mrs. Herbert DeLow (Miss Elsie Shorter), and Mr. Ryal Ayres. On the wharf were noticed Dr. Whiting (Mrs. Waugh's brother), Misses Joan and B. Waugh, Dr. James Kearney, Mr. and Mrs. John: Shorter, tho Misses Shorter, Miss Jessie Ayrcs, Mr. W. A. Larcombo, Mrs. DeLow, Miss Helen Bowman, Mrs. and Miss Richardson, -Miss Martha Moxham, Miss Violette Smith, Mr. Ray. Rowe, etc. the travellers were loaded witlrglfts; from many, friends.

In spite of the dangers to sea many folk are travelling by the mail ships. Dr. and Mrs. Phipps Waugh and their children, accompanied by Mrs. Waugh's sister, Miss Whiting, are on their way to England while another sister, Mrs. E. N. Waters, of Melbourne, who has been visiting Mrs. Whiting in Sydney, will shortly leave for the other side of the world. Dr. Phipps Waugh is going on duty at one of the base hospitals, while Major Waters is proceeding to the front.

Daily Telegraph (Sydney, NSW : 1883 - 1930), Wednesday 8 September 1915, page 6

Dr. and Mrs. Phipps Waugh and Mrs. Waugh's sister, Miss Whiting, have arrived in London, and are staying at Lancaster Gate.


Miss Zillah Leer, who left with Dr. and Mrs. R. Phipps 'Waugh when the Dr. sailed on military duty to London, has returned to Parramatta and will stay with Mrs, Waugh in George-street until the Dr. (whose arrangements were upset by going on to Lemnos) returns to his native heath. The young lady's father, Major Leer, it will be remembered, was one of the first of our gallant men to fall at the front.


Mrs. Waters, of Melbourne, whose husband is on active service, is spending a holiday in Sydney, and staying at the Hotel Australia. This is the first Melbourne Cup she has missed since, as Miss Whiting, of Randwick, she crossed the Victorian border as the girl bride of the well-known Melbournite, Mr. Waters. Her sister, Mrs. Phipps Waugh, is now in England with her two children while her husband, Dr. Phipps Waugh, a well-known Parramatta medico, is at one of the military base hospitals at Cairo. The two sisters were always among the most graceful frockers on the lawn at Flemington. The doctor had not missed a Cup for ten years, and he was always the life and soul of the Orient liner (or P. and O.)' that took the large human freight of Cup-goers from the Harbour City in November.

RAPW wrote several letters home from the front etc, which appear in the press.

DR. 'WAUGH'S RETURN.

As we stated in our last issue, Dr. R; A. Phipps Waugh is home in Parramatta again -after some unique war experiences; and on Thursday;' afternoon a reporter from 'The Argus' office managed to catch him in and, to glean from him a word or two as to his doings during the last 20 months or so. It is a year and nine months since Dr. Waugh left us to do his bit. The Dr. looks very fit and well. Mrs. Phipps. Waugh and the two children, Bryan (9) and Sheila (7) also camo out with the Dr.,' and are also, we are pleased to report, very well, although they have been through a very anxious time.


WELCOME-HOME AT ST. JOHN'S.

Dr. and Mrs. R. A. Phipps Waugh were the guests at a welcome— home meeting of a most successful character on Thursday evening at St. John's Parish Hall, Parramatta. The rector, the Rev. S. M. Johnstone, presided. The returned doctor soldier treated his interested listeners to a fine address, dealing with, some of his experiences since he went away to the war; and he promised to give a longer and a public address on. the same subject later on. Before the meeting came to a close Dr. and Mrs. Waugh met all those attending the function, and received a warm 'welcome-back' from each.

BIRTHS.

WAUGH.—August 15, 1917, to Dr. and Mrs. Phipps Waugh, Parramatta—a son. [Peter Cedric Phipps Waugh]


Miss May Davies' hard work and kindly interest in the orphans of ,' Minden '' were practically appreciated by the public at the recent sale, when over £225 was raised for ' the home. Mrs. Phipps Waugh took over £50 at her stall.


Major and Mrs. Phipps Waugh, of Sydney, are enjoying a visit to our city, and are staying with Colonel and Mrs. Edward Waters at St. Kilda.


A Sydney paper: "Captain and Mrs. C. Whiting, who have been residing at the T. and G. Flats, have gone to Parramatta to live, where Captain Whiting intends to practice. This is partly correct. The Capt. Dr. is a brother of Dr. Keith Whiting and Mrs. Phipps-Waugh, and is helping Dr. "Dick" to keep Dr. Keith's practice together. By the way, a cable the other day from Dr. Keith Whiting stated that he was still in France and very well, but it was hard to say when he would be back. His application had gone in.

HELP FOR THE SAILORS In response to a request made to the Mayor (Ald. L. A. Simpson) by Her Excellency Dame Margaret Davidson, a representative meeting was held at the Town Hall, Parramatta, to assist, and enlist the sympathy of helpers in the appeal, which her Excellency is launching for funds on behalf of the men of the Mercantile Marine, A committee was formed, Mesdames Phipps-Waugh and F.C.

Wenty's Record Ball. For the Children. And Red Cross Funds. Always an energetic and up-to-date body, Wentworthville branch of the Red Cross Society was very greatly in evidence on Monday night, May 28. Under its auspices and supervision a fancy dress ball and euchre party were held in the Peace Picture Palace in aid of Wentworthville's cot at Renwclk Hospital, and its own fund. The attendance was splendid, quite 300 people taking part in both sections 'of the function, although the ball dominated greatly so far as attraction was concerned. The theatre was decorated with green bushes laced with red paper streamers. The lights were veiled with the same color, and created a soft effect, although not detracting from the brilliance of the beautiful costumes worn by the lovers of Terplschore. Flags and patriotic emblems were artistically arranged around the walls, while the picture screen carried a' groat red cross, which unmistakeably demonstrated the nature of the gathering. When entering the hall, it immediately became evident that a great deal of earnest, zealous work had been done, and, on looking for the source, it ,as found that those responsible in the main were the members of the local Red Cross branch, viz., Mrs. E. C. Friend, president; Mrs. C. Weekes, hen, sec.; Mrs. Jowers, hon. treas.; and Mesdames Taylor, Irwin, Stevenson, Black, McPherson, and Lane. And these ladies must have been gratified by the wonderful success

their labors achieved. In addition to their work, the members of the branch contributed all the good things in the refreshment line. But there were others who proved they had generous hearts. The use of the hall was freely given by the popular owner, Mr. Levy, and the music was supplied by Mrs. Green's noted jazz band. Mr. Lucas, who acted most efficiently as M.C., was what may be termed a substantial willo'-tho wisp; he was here, there, and every. where, and looked after the Interests of the "trippers of the light, fantastic" in manner that was unanimously appreciated. The Grand March at nine o'clock presented a most attractive scene, and called forth hearty applause from the many spectators. After that, dancing never flagged for an instant, except when the judging of fancy costumes was being finalised. The Prizes. Prizes were donated and awarded in the several classes, the judging being most effectively carried out, with general approval, by Mesdames Cedric Whiting, Phipps Waugh, and J. J. Miller, of Parramatta. These ladies had no easy task to perform where the many characters were so faithfully represented. The awards were as follows:

Parramatta Cot at the Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children, at Camperdown, and in addition to this annual responsibility, in view of the necessary extensive enlargements, the building fund of. this hospital and some help to the Children’s Convalescent Home at Collaroy, extra support will be needed. In response to the invitations of Mrs. Phipps . Waugh and Mrs. Cedric Whiting to a Drawing Room Meeting on Friday, September 14, to discuss ways and means of raising funds for. those worthy objects, a large and representative gathering was present, and the afternoon proved very pleasant and interesting, and this band of, energetic workers formed themselves into a committee including Mrs. H.. C. G. Moss (the Mayoress as President), Mrs. Phipps Waugh (hon. treas.), Mesdames E. J. Brown and J. J. Miller (hon. seos.); Mesdames Dare, W. J. Morey, Morphett, Laddin, F. C. Dunn, Haddrill, J. J.

Mr. Leonard Dodds Death in Hospital MOTORING ACCIDENT The death occurred at Parramatta Dis-trict Hospital on Tuesday of Mr. Leonard Dodds, of "Widemere," Wentworthville, and formerly a prominent figure in mining circles in this State.

A week previously, while driving from Parramatta towards his home, Mr. Dodds' car overturned and he received injuries which caused his death. It is assumed that Mr. Dodds, who suffered from heart trouble became suddenly ill and lost control of the driving wheel. Mr. Dodds had had a wonderful experience in mining and financial matters, and his fund of anecdote made him a most interesting raconteur. He was exceedingly popular in this district where during ten years' residence he had made numerous friends. He was a son of the late John Dodds, R.N., and was born at St. Leonards in 1861. At the age of 26 he was a company promoter, and was associated with the early development of the Broken Hill mines. He was responsible for the flotation of Broken Hill Central Mining Company, and was also associated with the Nymagee Copper Mine, the Cobar mines, and gold-mining companies at Sunny Corner and Girilambone and elsewhere. Mr. Dodds retired from business about ten years ago, and took up residence at "Widemere"'. He was an art collector, and his display of Streeton's earlier paintings have been described as the best in existence. Deceased is survived by a widow, three sons and a daughter. The funeral took place on Wednesday, and prior to the interment in the West-ern-road Cemetery a service was con-ducted at All Saints Church of England by Rev. G.F.P. Manning. Among those present were: Dr. W. S. Brown, Dr. E. C. Hall, Dr. Cedric Whiting, Alderman A.J. Webb (Mayor of Holroyd, Alderman. H. Walker-Benson, Messrs. A.D. Hume (town clerk), J. Dunstan electrical engineer, Holroyd ), R.J. Sherlock (Parramatta Bowling Club), P.H. Robilliard, H. Fullagar, C. A. Champion, D. G. Brown, C. A. Carr (Flavelle, Roberts and Sankey, Ltd.), J.

Paterson as accompaniste, Mrs. Waugh expressed pleasure at being present and was glad to open the fete, which was being held in hid of two such good objects. She had often heard of the good work done by-the Women's Guild, and how pleasantly they worked together. The speaker felt sure that the District Hospital was very dear to the hearts of everyone, and as the monthly expenditure at the institution was in the vicinity of £1000, it was necessary for each and every one to help the cause. She hoped the organisers fully realised how much their work was appreciated and their financial help acceptable. The church workers were to be complimented on their work for these worthy objects and also the stalls display. The speaker concluded by hoping those present would spend freely and make the fete a great success. She had much pleasure in declaring the fete open. Little Jean Finlayson presented Mrs. Waugh with a posy of sweet-peas.

SABLE SEASON

FUR-TRIMMED RACE GOWNS ZOO INSPIRATION

Fearless and inquiring, the mind of woman is always looking for change. _ ' ' She' will try anything, from an apple to a pair of emerald green shoes with a bright scarlet frock. " Once having tried a thing, however, the woman wants something else. Besides, the apple may not have been ripe, and the shoes may have pinched. Something like this seemed to have happened at Randwick yesterday.

THE women had already tried their fur coats, coats in hundreds, and of fur of every known animal— and a few Invented by the furriers. Last meeting, as the weather grew warmer, the lockers In the cloak-rooms were bursting with chinchilla, sable, squirrel, marmot, and mink coats. Yesterday, despite a chilly morning, these were left at home. Fur was present in quantities, but mostly trimmed adorable coats of rich, heavy satin, wool crepe de chine, morocain, and other fabrics. From present appearances, this may be termed a sable season, for this golden brown luxury was present on hundreds of gowns and wraps. Clever dyers, too, had taken a hand, and so adroitly simulated this most costly fur that many imitations almost defied detection. Marmot and mink, summer ermine and fox. in a dozen shades, lent their aid, and it was to the multitude of little animals in faraway countries that the meeting owed much of its beauty. Some skirts were long, dipping almost to the ground at the back, and some were but a wisp of material above the knees of the wearer. All the wood shades, from the palest sandal to the mysterious depths of teak, through cedar, mahogany, light and dark oak, came first. So it was that the lawns, in their emerald freshness, and the gorgeous autumn flowers, might have had an easy victory in color but for the gaiety of the hats. These dotted the sombre betting ring in bright flashes of royal blue and vivid scarlet, and, with equally gay handbags, helped the womenfolk to defy the glories of nature. One woman was much envied with her big envelope bag of Suez blue, in the top of which lived a little umbrella, which fitted exactly, and yet would have been of utility had the necessity arisen for having it unfurled. The new patterned and shaded ring, in hundreds — and some delightful, some garish in colors, and skimpy in outline, rather tragic. One of these exactly reserved a bed of pansies in full bloom, t/w a mixture of mauve and green and blue. A few women had gone to the Zoo for inspiration, and so one went spotted like a IcbDatd. and another, wearing what used to be regarded as furniture velvet, was massed in tawny stripes, like a tiger. Lion effects, too. were there, in coats of the color of the lion's hide, surmounted with a huge mane of some

indescribable fur. Reptile shoes; if fewer than usual, were cut by a masterhand, and gave a fine finish to a tailor-made. Suede has come back, and It joined the great garade of all. the browns. Some daring visitors, secure in the knowledge that their fitting was a two, walked abroad, in bright blue or green footwear, or added a pair of three-inch scarlet heels to a pair of simple black shoes, which seemed to shrink from the contact. Hats were of ' plush, velvet, felt, vel-our, and straw, and, In size, were as you like, except that the vast shapes were, considering the crowd, mercifully absent. As a whole, the meeting provided few surprises. It was exceedingly well dressed in a sensible way. choosing crepe de chine, georgette, light wool-Hep& such as kasha, crepe metcOr, and handsome heavy satin coats.

Vice-Regal Parties

The Governor-General and Lady Stonehaven, who had a luncheon party, arrived in time for the first race. Lady Stonehaven wore an ensemble of fawn wool georgette, embroidered at hem and cuffs In silk to tone, and her hat was of fawn Baku. The Governor and Lady de Chair entertained at luncheon the Governor of South Australia and Lady Hore-Ruthven. Miss Elaine de Chair, the Premier and Mrs. Bavin, Sir Mark and Lady Sheldon, Brigadier-General and Mrs. Cavendish. Brigadier-General and Mrs. Anderson, Messrs. J. and G. Ashton, and Mr. Legh-Winser. ……………… Mrs. Phipps Waugh was one of those attracted by nigger brown, her costume of this popular shade being faced with fawn, with a hat of nigger brown felt. Her daughter. Miss Shiela Waugh, chose the one tone of blonde for hat and ensemble. The skirt of her satin dress was cleverly trimmed with uneven frills.

QUIET WEEK-END More Public Functions SYDNEY. Monday. After a quiet week-end at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Phipps-Waugh at Parramatta; Miss Amy Johnson returned to Sydney this afternoon, and recommenced her round of public functions. Her only engagement tonight was the Masonic Club Hall where she received an enthusiastic welcome from Sydney members of the craft and their wives. As usual, quite a crowd gathered outside and Miss Johnson was cheered as her car drew up at the herb. and she crossed the footpath to the door. In connection with the disappointment suffered by the large number, of people who lined the Great Western Road on Saturday, and waited in the rain, in the hope of seeing Miss Johnson. It was stated by sen. Cyril Westcott that the management of the Lapstone Hill Hotel was informed on three separate occasions that Miss Johnson would not be visiting the hotel. Mr. Kirkpatrick. managing Director of the hotel, stated to-day that he had received no notice to the effect that the flier would not be coming. and he had not been advised to cancel the booking. Mr. C H. Hay. Secretary of the Premier's Department, when seen regarding the matter, said he telephoned to the hotel, and was under the impression that he was speaking to Mr. Kirkpatrick when he said Miss Johnson would be unable to make the trip to the Blue Mountains. The following statement, in answer to criticism of the action of the police on the afternoon Miss Johnson arrived in Sydney. was issued after to-day's meeting of' the Cabinet-"The Cabinet, having inquired into the complaints made against the action of the police on the occasion of the arrival of Miss Amy Johnson in Sydney the Premier sent for the Commissioner of Police (Mr. Childs). and gave him a personal assurance that the Government did not endorse the criticism to which he and his officers had been subjected. Mr. Bavin also expressed the view that the statements attributing inefficiency and acts of brutality to the members of the force were unjust, and unwarranted; further, that, in carrying out the arrangements made by the Reception Committee. the police acted in the interest of the public safety, and discharged their duty with tact and efficiency. Ample evidence in confirmation of this view has been received by the Government from unbiassed sources since the publication of these criticisms." VISIT TO KATOOMBA: Miss Johnson was one of a party which motored to Katoomba this morning, had a picnic lunch.by the roadside, and returned to the city this afternoon. She was much impressed with the Blue Mountains scenery, and said afterwards' that she thought the picnic meal and "billy tea" was "lovely. The news quickly spread through Katoomba that the famous flier was there, and hasty arrangements were made by the Deputy-Mayor (Ald. Stubbing) to give her a civic welcome. Looking very fit after her week-end rest from public functions, she cheerfully consented to a drive through the streets of the town in an open 'car. Residents lined the route and cheered as she passed. A book of Blue Mountains views was presented to her by the Deputy-Mayor

Rumour busies herself very much with Miss Amy Johnson's doings, and among other rumours was the one that she would be at the A.J.C. races on Monday, June 6, and countless racegoers tried to identify her in vice-regal boxes. The fact was, however, that Miss Johnson was "far from the madding crowd," being entertained at a real Australian picnic by Dr. and Mrs. Phipps Waugh, of Parramatta, with whom she is staying, and instead of picking (or missing) a winner she was being introduced to billy tea, Australian wild, flowers, and all the other attractions of the bush.

A Silver Wedding NOT every "bride and bridegroom" can have a silver wedding, and have quite a number of the original party around them when they celebrate a quarter of a century afterwards. Dr. and Mrs. Phipps Waugh, of Parramatta, did, however, when they

gave a dinner party in honor of the twenty-fifth anniversary of their wedding on Saturday. Mrs. Phipps Waugh was Elaine Whiting, and the pair were married at St. Jude's, Randwick. . ' There were four bridesmaids at the ceremony, and Mrs. S. Moore, who was sister Sylvia, and Mrs. Fergus McIntyre, another sister Vera, were among those, who offered personal congratulations. And Cables, THE other two bridesmaids, Miss Gladys Teece, who is travelling abroad, and Miss Freda Lamb, who later married a naval officer, and is settled in England, sent cables. The doctor, too, had his share of support, for Dr. Herbert Kendall, who was his best man, brought Mrs. Kendall to share in the festivities. There was a place of honor for the bride’s mother too. No one was more delighted than the two maids, who have been in the Phipps Waugh service for years, that the cake they made was much admired before it was cut and enjoyed.

A GAY TOUCH DRESSES AT RANDWICK

The stage was set to perfection for the official launching of the Autumn fashions at Randwick to-day. There was just enough nip in the air for the lady with the crimson shoes and ankle-length flounced black georgette frock to hug to her figure with a slight shiver her basqued black velvet jacket and just enough for the huge majority to feel snug and warm inside their tweeds and facecloths. These found expression in every imaginable style — from jacket-suits, tailleurs and simply-cut frocks to full and three-coated ensembles and normal top-coats worn over silk frocks.

And again, there was just enough sun lurking behind the clouds to make pleasing and seasonable the unexpected amount of color which blossomed in Burgundy, Venetian red, bottle and hunter greens, and clear bright blues, either on whole ensembles, which was interwoven into the enormous quantity of flecked tweeds on parade or was used as a gay little accessory to the all-black outfit, which, as was expected, dominated the dressing of the older women, and was patronised by scores of the younger people. The millinery was interesting. Many coats and most of the furs had obviously seen service last season, but 90 per cent, of the women had stretched their purse to include a new hat. In spite of much anti-felt talk, the great bulk of the hats were in that medium. Nearly all were brimless, but at the same time more individual in shape than they have been for years. Vice-Regal Party Before the first race more than the usual attention was bestowed on the Vice-Regal parties owing to the first public appearance at Randwick, of Lady Isaacs, wife of the Governor-General. Many eyes

were turned in her direction as she sat chatting in the box with Mr. and Mrs. Harry Budge, and Mrs. F. Merewether. Lady Isaacs chose a Mack flat crepe frock with a vestee of vellum georgette over which she wore a black ponyskin coat, with a collar of skunk. Her small brimmed hat of black velvet was caught with a diamond : brooch. Mrs. Merewether's unusual color scheme was chocolate brown and turquoise, blue. The coat of her brown suit was trimmed with brown ponyskin, and her small ruched hat was of velvet, in the same tone. High collars and cuffs of astrakhan trimmed Mrs. Budge's coat of grey flecked tweed, which was worn with a frock and hat of the same material. Others who joined Lady Isaacs later as the guests at luncheon were: —Governor of South Australia (Sir Alexander Hore-Ruthven), Mrs. Colin Stephen, the Lord Mayor (Aid. Jackson). Lady Mayoress (Mrs. Jackson), the Chief Justice (Sir Frank Gavan Duffy), Mrs. E. R. G. R. Evans, Sir Adrian Knox, Lady Braddon. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Brunton, Mrs. David Cohen, Mrs. Tom Rolin, Mr. Harry Budge,' Mr. F. Merewether, and Captain J. Williamson, A.D.C. to Sir Alexander Hore-Ruthven. The Governor (Sir Philip Game) and Lady Game had as their guests at luncheon Sir Samuel Hordern, Dr. and Mrs. G. H. Rutlcdge, Mr. and Mrs. Warwick Fairfax, Dr. and Mrs. Phipps Waugh,

Randwick Frocks That Minted of Picnics

PARTICULARLY attractive looking arid comfortable in the hot sun /it the; rear of " the stands at Randwick yesterday, the large-brimmed hats and flimsy dresses caused their Wearers awkward moments when they came into the full blast /of the strong southerly breeze that 'swept across the course.

a milliner oi women in summery cottons appeared to have cancelled picnic engagements at the last minute in order to go to the races. …………Miss Sheila Waugh's frock struck a decided note of simplicity and charm. Worn with a shady white straw hat, it was of sky blue linen, made with a masque and having a white muslin vestee ornamented with dainty hand work and a row of tiny blue linen buttons. With her was her mother, Mrs. E. Phipps Waugh, of Parramatta, who was in a frock of brown and yellow figured- crepe de chine, and wore a large-brimmed hat of brown cellophane.

REV. H. A. SHAW Welcome to Parramatta A welcome was extended to Rev. H. A.

Before the termination of the proceedings and the handing round of refreshments, Mr. Munro, on behalf of the congregation, made a presentation to Rev. E. Ž. Henderson as a token of their appreciation of his services. Mr. Henderson suitably responded. Rev. H. A. Shaw, in expressing thanks, remarked that when present at the farewell to Rev. J. Paterson and Mrs. Paterson, he little thought that he would receive the call to Parramatta. it was a pleasure to come amongst the church members of his predecessor, who had had such a long and successful ministry, and he was determined to do everything possible as his successor.

MID-SEASON

Dull Day: Gay Garb CHIC HATS

ALTHOUGH the dullness of yesterday's weather was most encouraging to the lack of interest In dress usual at mid-season's meetings, punters at Randwick, who were not so numerous, decided upon smartness. Ever so many of those chic little tricornes were perched jauntily upon their wearers' brows, and were worn with silks or tweeds, and did not look out of place with the stonemartens and sables brought out of summer wrappings. A slight indication of the fur trend expected for autumn wear, was noticeable, especially as elbow trimmings. With the exception of black and white, there were few one-color effects, floral silks proving most popular. ……………A strikingly patterned silk frock was worn by Miss Elspeth Macpherson, and Sheila Waugh, who attended the races with her parents, Dr. and Mrs, Phipps Waugh, found that she was not too cold In a brown flecked tweed suit.

Death Under Anaesthetic Woman's Sudden Collapse Suddenly collapsing while under an anaesthetic, Violet Ella Blanche Denzel (33), of Northmead-avenue, Northmead, died at the Parramatta District Hospital on October 11. An inquiry was held by the district coroner (Mr. H. Richardson Clark ) at Parramatta last Thursday. The evidence disclosed that Mrs. Denzel underwent an operation for the removal of the gall bladder. The operation was performed, and the stitching of the wound was about to be done, when the patient suddenly collapsed, and her heart stopped beating. All efforts to restore her were unsuccessful. Evidencxe of having adminstered the anaesthetic under the supervision of Drs. Waugh and Cedric Whiting was given by Dr. Kingsley, one of the resident medical officers at the Parramatta District Hospital who said that although there appeared to be no organic disease of the heart, the patient seemed to be suffering from the effects of toxemia. It was essential to operate. When she collapsed -and she collapsed very suddenly -the patient had been under anaesthetic for about an hour and a half. Dr. Cedric Whiting said that the proper anaesthetic was used, and that it was administered in a proper and skillfull manner. When the patient coppased

everything was done to restore her. The cause of death was myocarditis aggarvated by absorbition of poison in the system from the septic gall bladder. Mrs. Johnstone, sister of the deceased asked why the patent's strength was not built up in the hospital before the operation was performed. "She was getting worse all the time," Dr. Whiting said. " If the operation had been delayed, I have no doubt that she would have died from blood poisoning from the septic gall bladder." Dr. Waugh, who performed the operation said that the deceased had been suffering from inflammation of the gall bladder for the last eight years. " The only way to restore her health was to operate" the doctor said. The witness said that the anaesthetic was properly administered, and that, when the patient collapsed, everything possible was done to restore her. Regarding the question asked by Mrs. Johnstone, Dr. Waugh said that the patient did not require building up by food. If she had not been operated on, she might have died at any time. Mrs. Johnstone: You have been attending Mrs. Denzel for a long time. Why did you not operate on her before? An operation was suggested to her many times, but she didn't like the idea of an operation. Dr. Waugh said that, in twenty six years, this was his first experience of death under anaesthetic. The coroner found that the death was due to the anaesthetic and poisoning of the system from the septic gall bladder, that the anaesthetic was skilfully administered and the operation skilfully performed, and that, when the patient collapsed everything possible was done to restore her.

"My Kingdom for a Horse" Dr. Waugh's Fondness for the Equine

Everybody in this district knows Dr. Waugh of Parramatta. A native of the town he has spent practically the whole of his life within hearing distance of St. John's bells. His father was a highly-esteemed Parramatta medico in the days when our beards were black. As a lad Dr. Waugh's chief attraction was an equine. It still is. The late Bruce Walker, M.L.A., used to tell that he saw young Waugh jump his horse over a hooded buggy. With Ripley we say, Believe it or Not. The doctor's burly figure is far removed from that of a jockey. Yet he rode many years ago of course-in a steeplechase at Rosehill. That he didn't win matters not. At the King's School he was a Rugby' Union stalwart and later played with the Varsity team. When he cast aside his blue and gold jersey he pulled on a referee's white one and blew his whistle with full effect. His love of a horses and his fondness of Lancer's plumes lured him into the Parramatta squadron of Lancers some forty odd years ago. in 1897, after he had been elevated to the rank of sergeant, he was selected as one of a detachment of Lancers to represent his State at, Queen’s Victoria's jubilee celebrations in London. He served at the front with the A.&.O., with distinction, as did his partners, Drs. Keith and Cedric Whiting. Naturally, he has a very complete stock of Digger yarns. For some time he has been a Parramatta alderman and has found the job not unlike that of the football referee. Had he so desired he might have been

Mayor for several terms. Dr. Waugh plays golf a little; there was a time when he played quite a lot. He found, however, that he could not attend a race meeting and play golf on the same Saturday afternoon-so he gave up golf. As a member of Parramatta Rotary Club he has delivered a few interesting talks' on his trips to the East. Of course, he did not tell all. He agrees with Cowper that: "Variety's the very spice of life, That gives it all its flavor."

£1,148 IN FUND FOR WAR VICTIMS

P'matta Appeal LADIES TO' ORGANISE COLLECTIONS That £1148 had been subscribed to the Parramatta fund to assist civilian war victims in Britain was announced by the Mayor (Alderman P. II. Jeffery) at Parramatta Town Hall last night-at a public meeting called for the purpose of furthering the appeal. The attendance was woefully small. It would have been much smaller but for the "LAMPS," who had assembled for their own meeting but decided to attend this one first. Honorary collectors were appointed for an intensive appeal within the next fortnight. And Mrs. Cedric Whiting will convene a meeting of ladies for the purpose of organising subsequent house-to-house collections. A small committee was appointed to consider Rev.. I. A. Shaw's suggestion that portion of the money should be spent in the purchase of goods for despatch to Britain. On the platform with the Mayor were Bishop W. G. Hilliard. Rev. T. A. Shaw, Aldermen T. H. Harvey, R. A. P. Waugh. W; R. Musto, W. Cameron, and H. Vaughan. and the town clerk (Mr. L. N.. Brown). "Lengthy speeches are quite unnecessary on an occasion like this," Bishop Hilllard said, "When we have before us an appeal that must stir everybody who has a drop of British blood in him. "The Motherland stands up. on behalf of civilisation and the future of the human race against the onslaught of thosi evil things with which Nazi Germany has asesoviiited herself. She stands as the champion of all that makes life worth living. Y. i, "MAGNIFICENT PEOPLE." "London is standing up to it nagnlificently. And one thrills as one thinks, not only of those gallant young heroes of the air, not only of the magnificent men of the Fleet. not only of the gallant troops; but also of those magnificent people--ordinary humble people-who are proving to Hitler that he Just can't break the morale of the British people. "We must show them that we really are behind them; that we really want to share some of the burden that they are shouldering." Announcing that £1148 had been subscribed since the appeal was launched on Friday week, the Mayor said that the Parramatta Mayoral Patriotic Fund committee had donated £100. "I think it's the desire of the council that this fund should be closed as soon as possible," he said. "We want to make it a short and sharp, appeal, and hope to close it. if possible, at the end of next week," Emphasising the need for a more sustained effort. Alderman Waugh said that everybody should be given an opportunity to subscribe ar small amount regularly. On his motion Mrs. Cedric Whiting-from whom he had received the suggestion that house-to-house collections be made--was appointed to convene a meeting of ladles to organise stich collections. As money was needed urgently for relief in Britain, it was decided to make an intensive effort to raise as much as possible within the next fortnight, and then close "the main fund." Mr. and Mrs. R. Willis, Mr. C. A. Storey, Mrs. R. C. Thomas, and Mr. E.. G. Huxley responded to as call for honorary collectors for this purpose.

OF FEMININE INTEREST

Last Saturday, hordes of women streamed into. Mrs, R. A. P...Waugh's home in Marsden-street to be entertained by the passing-show as presented by Mrs, Pat Walsh of ("The Latest Styles," a Church-street lady whose ideas when it comes to dress are "tops" for either he streamlined or, the other brand of locals. Aiding and abetting the Walsh lady and her off-sider, the not-so-long' ,married Mrs. Brand, were the Misses Maoya and Mollie Wilson, specialists in vastly becoming "lids." Jewels (ancient and modern) which twinkled and winked on the various creations were from the exclusive house of Misses de Jaunay and Wells. Sheltering behind tall sprays of gladioli and other expensive blooms, which looked as if they might have come from the floral farm of Miss Rose, of North Rocks, were Mrs. ,S. Woolnough and Mrs. Cole. Theirs was the task of separating one and all from their tickets, or, the half-crowns in lieu thereof, with the result, that the A.A.M.C., for which' the "do" was held,; will be something like £25 better off. That most charming of all hostesses, Mrs. R. A. P. Waugh, who is president of the fund, wore black, with two strings of genuine pearls. Her fair-haired daughter, Mrs. [Sheila] Ross, was another who wore black; so did Mrs. Cedric Whiting and Mrs. Berge (the latter being secretary).
