The Lewisham Bazaar is to be opened in the Caledonian Hall to-night, and will he continued to-morrow night. Well-stocked stalls, amusing sideshows, and a splendid programme of dancing, arranged by Mrs J. Hulme. will be amongst the many attractions. There was a good attendance at the Cashmere Girls' Guild on Monday, when Mrs E. Broadway presided. The subject for trie evening was millinery, and Miss Nancy Wass gave a practical demonstration, making a silk-straw hat and showing varied stvles of trimming it. A hearty vote of thanks to Miss Wass, and a dainty supper, served by ihe members, brotisht a very interesting evening to a close. A remarkable instance of infant precocity, in this case with entirely commendable motives, was noted in Karori yesterday afternoon (says Tuesday's "Dominion"). A boy of 13 months of age crawled into the room where his mother was, and made a great noise, unfortunately untranslatable. The mother took no notice of the child, and he crawled away again. But when he came again and tried to attract her attention, she went into the other room, and found that a quantity of clothing hanging on a chair in front of the fire had caught alight, and the chair itself had caught alight. So far advanced was the blaze that she had some difficulty in suppressing it, and got burnt in putting it out.

DRESSES AT THE THEATRE.

Very charming and simple are the dresses worn in "Fair and Warmer" which is meeting with such cordial approval nightly at the Theatre Royal. Miss Nellie Bramley, whose winsome personality has made her such a universal favourite, makes her first appearance as an almost incredibly docile but blissfully happy wife, wearing a pretty frock of knife pleated white georgette, with square yoke, back and front, of exquisite Maltese lace and girdled with a narrow plait of georgette fastened with coloured plastron. In the second act she appears in a dainty negligee of lilac georgette and blonde lace, triinmed with bandsof fur, which becomes her admirably,' albeit it is the rightful possession of her more worldly friend who lives in a neighbouring flat. Miss Sylvia McNair, who plays the part of Laura Bartlett, wears in the first act a daffodil georgette frock with long-waisted bodice and graduated bands on the skirt of daffodil satin and rosettes of mauve ribbon at the waist. When preparing to attend the opera she dons a beautiful dress of apricot georgette, embroidered in straight line with crystal beads and finished most effectively with a ceinture of bead embroidery in Egyptian colouring. Later she wears a rose-pink taffeta dress uncommonly trimmed with wheels of iivory" lace, forming" the hem of the skirt.
