■The Haleombe correspondent, of the i Marton paper narrates the following , anent'. the lack of provision for sleeping;! accommodation when hundreds of soldiers visited Wellington on Christmas Eve and ; were unable to obtain shelter anywhere: "One'of our , Halcombe lads managed to get inside a' private hotel and. obtained the use of two chairs and. a blanket, for which the patriotic proprietor charged him' 6/6. Others who got into' more fashionable quarters were charged- 12/6 for' a 'shake-down.' ; One good woman housed six of our bunkless boys,, but would not listen to any offer of payment, being quite satisfied. with the grateful appreciation of those whom she" had' thus befriended." . Anchored on the Wanganui at the foot of the beautiful Ohura Falls is the firiest-house-boat in the world, replete with social hall, piano, dining-room, smokingroom, baths, electric lights, and all conveniences. Spend your holiday here—get awny from the city hustle—-get neat Nature. " 'Particulars"from A 7 Hatrick and Co., Ltd., Wanganui. Cook's' and Government Tourist Bureaux everywhere.
