On the voyage of a troopship iecently arrived in Wellington with returned soldiers, a lady passenger noted for her delicate handiwork had to acknowledge that her talent was rivalled, if not surpassed, by that of one of the returning soldiers. The lady had done some exquisite lancywork, and the invalided man's friends thought fit to display some of their chum's work. The soldier had accomplished some beautiful pen-painting and needlework showing all the neatness and finish of a woman's hand. Soldiers convalescing in hospitals show remarkable aptitude in fancywork, and some of the English hospitals have earned reputations through the effective labours of the soldier inmates.
