AN IDLE WOMAN'S DIARY.
SYDNEY, May 22
"Sing, hey! the gallant doctor that you
are," should have been sung as H.M.S.
Sealark put off for the Solomon Islands
last week, and H.M.S, Fantome steered
for the North-west Coast of Australia,
and "Sing, ho! the merry maiden, and
the lur," for Staff-surgeon Cecil Robin-
son, of the Sealark, has "captured the af-
fections" of Miss Grace Acheson, one of
the belles of Darling Point, and Dr. Ave-
ling, of H.M.S. Fantome, has received, the
promise of pretty Miss Doris Saller, of
Hobart, whose sister married a lieuten-
ant on board the same vessel, during her
last commission.

The Robinson - Acheson alliance is a
most interesting one. "'He" is the son of
an Irish doctor, who was the son of that
Captain Roblnson, R.N., who accompanied
the Franklyn expedition. He is the cham
pion golfer, tennis player, and Badminton
player of the fleet, and is over sIx feet
two. One of his sisters is married to a
tea-planter in Calcutta, the other is
about to marry Mr. Buller, brother of the
millionaire, who married Miss Lily Elsle.
"She" is the only child of the late Robert
Hugh Brabazon Acheson, of county
Waterford, Ireland, a young member, of
the Earl of Gosford's family, her mother
being Miss Plunkett, daughter of W. N.
Plunkett, for 40 years Under-secretary of
Justice in New South Wales. Wollerang,
one of the first five houses built at Darl
ing Polint, belongs to the Plunkett family.
Mrs. and Miss Acheson now lived there,
but will not do so after this year, as Miss
Acheson, when married, will probably
live in England. The Sealark is to be
away for seven months, the Fantome
about five. Miss Saller is staying with
Dr. and Mrs. Asher, of Cooyong, Edge
cliff-road. Dr. Robinson has already pick
ed his best man. He is Lieutenant
Knowles, R,N. who has already officiated
at the wedding of Lieutenant MaxwelI
R.N., to Miss Leeper.
