MARRIED. Mr. and Mrs. Michael Todd, after their wedding at PLC Pymble Chapel, with their attendants Mrs. lan Chomley (at left) and Miss Robyn Hammond. The bride was Miss Sue Bul), daughter of Mrs. L T. Bull, of Pymble, and of the late Mr. Bull. The bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. R. Todd, of Boggabri.

ITXCITING surprise in the form of two

baby shetland ponies - Cuddles and Thunder - for litde Paul and Belinda Lacey when they arrived at "Cowl Cowl," Hillston, with their parents, the Nigel Laceys, to spend two weeks with their grand- parents, Dr. and Mrs. Denis Rowe. The Laceys have now settled in Australia after living in Buenos Aires. Both families are back in Sydney after their country holiday.

^LSO just back after seven weeks in

Queensland is Mrs. Elsa Chauvel, who stayed at Surfers Paradise first and then made a sentimental journey to the Laming- ton Plateau, where she and her husband, the late Charles Chauvel, made "Sons of Matthew." In Brisbane she visited the Royal Geographical Society to see the hanging of the portrait of her late husband, painted for the Archibald Prize by Allen Baker, which she presented to the Society.

J£EEPING their fingers crossed for fine

weather on July 13 are the Jack Lees, who've asked friends of Humphrey and Diana Fisher in for a Sunday morning "welcome back to Australia" party, which they hope to hold around the swimming pool of their lovely sandstone house at Woollahra. The Fishers are expected to arrive on July 9 or 10 and will stay with the Lees for a few days.

jyECEPTrVELY simple slim woollen dress

in soft crushed apricot-and-cream colored wool with gold-rimmed self buttons worn by Mrs. Claude Renshaw, of "Booga- dah," Binnaway, at an end-of-the-week cock- tail party was much admired. She bought it

in London when she was there.

^LWAYS sure of seeing the Neville

Christie family in the snow at least two or three times during the season, and their next visit is on July 10, when the Christies take their elder daughter, Louise, to Thredbo to compete in the University of Sydney races. Later in the month they'll go again, to stay in the Thredbo Alpine Hotel, and this time their two other children, Honey and Robert, will also go with them. I like the sound of Honey's lynx jacket bound with chocolate-brown leather.

LONDON WEDDING. Newlyweds Mr. and Mrs. Howard Basnett in the grounds of St. Nicholas' Church. Chis- wick, London, as they left to attend the reception at the Hotel de Vere, Kensington. The bride was Miss Mere- dith Harris, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Harris, of Mosman, who travelled over to England for the wedding. The bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Basnett, of Chester, England.

<ÇjPOKE during the week with busy man

George Everard from the French Embassy, who's organising the 14th July (Bastille Day) Ball for the ninth year. It's actually to be held on July 12, which is the nearest Saturday, and the venue will be the Wentworth Hotel. He tells me that this ball is a must each year for members of the French community, and any money made from the ball goes to the French Benevolent Society to help needy French people in

Australia.

.pHE WORLD OF LILLIPUT exhibition

which the women's committee of the National Trust are holding at "Lindesay," Darling Point, will appeal to both adults and children, but I predict parents will have a difficult time getting the litde ones away from the fascinating display of miniature "goodies." These include furniture like the cedar Colonial chest of drawers pictured on page 23, china teasets, and miniature pieces of silver, brass, and glass, which have been collected in and around Sydney by Mrs. John Furber and her sub-committee. There's a gala night on July 25 for mem- bers, and on July 26 and 27 it's open to the public from 11 a.m. until 4.30 p.m.

JVATE for your diary . . . July 14 for the

Black and White Committee's Le Louvre fashion parade at the Wentworth Hotel. As it's Bastille Day, there's to be a French theme for the food, music, and

clothes.

AND a second one, July 17, for the wine

tasting and buffet dinner which the Lindfield Auxiliary of the Children's Medi-

cal Research Foundation will hold at the Leo Buring Cellars at Artarmon.
