The death occurred at Wellington this week, after a long illness, of Mrs Janet (Jessie) Marshal Mt-Rae, widow or' the late Mr Noheiniah of Blairich Station, Marlborough, who lost his life while attempting to cross the Awatere river in 1872. The late Mrs MeEae, who was one of the older settlers of Marlborough, was 70 years of ago. She was a daughter of the late Mr George Aitken, a well-known Nelson merchant, and she married Mr MeEae in 1864. After her husband's death she resided for a while in Nelson, and also in Christchurch, but she lived for many years prior to her death in Wellington. She leaves a family of three sons and two daughters—Messrs George, William, and Nehemiah Mcßae, of Wellington, and Mesdames W r . D. Ward and J. P. Firth, of Wellington. The old lady, who was very highly esteemed, had many relatives and family connexions throughout Marlborough.

Despite the unfavourable weather, the final dance of the Rose Social Club, which was held in St. Michael's Hall 011 Thursday evening, was an unprecedented success. The dance took the form of a i'ancv dress masquerade carnival, and the judges awarded as follows: —Bestdressed lady, Miss Muriel Johns (Harem Lady); best-dressed gentleman, Mr McCracken (Chinaman). Mrs McCracken (Mobiloil) was very highly commended. The hall was charmingly decorated with shrubs, jazz streamers, and coloured lights, while the supper-room decorations were of beautiful roses. The music was supplied by Willyams's Orchestra, Miss 11. Johns and Mr A. Paul playing the extras. Many novelty dances were introduced, and the large number present, as on previous occasions, spent a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The garden fete at Karitane Baby Hospital will be opened at 2.30 p.m. today by his Worship the Mayor, and will continue during the afternoon and evening. The fete is in aid of the new "Mothers' Cottage," which is much needed to provide the necessary rest and quiet for those mothers who go to the hospital with their babes for any length of treatment. The idea is that the mothers of Canterbury shall build this cottage, which, it is hoped, will prove an inestimable boon to many, and in the different districts the scheme is being taken up enthusiastically. The local fete will give the Christehurch people an opportunity of doing their share towards the general good. The fete is being organised by the matron of Karitane and staff, assisted by the Plunket nurses. Stalls of various kinds, amusing competitions, and refreshments will be arranged, and the Woolston Band will play an attractive programme. The Boy Scouts are taking charge of a copper trail through Sydenham.

A meeting of professional musicians and lovers of music and friends of Miss Paula Scherek, who will shortly be leaving Christohurch, was held last evening to discuss ways and means of raising money to enable them to present Miss Scherek with .1 tangible token of the esteem in which she is held. Mr Alfred J. Bunz, who presided, said it was out of respect for Miss Paula Scherek and her father, Mr Benno Scherek, that th© musical folk and friends wished to make her a presentation, and thus express their feelings of goodwill towards her. She had done magnificent work for the returned soldiers in the Rannerdnle Home, for tlie patients in the Public Hospital, and for those in the Sanatorium, as well as assisting many charities. After considerable discussion it was unanimously decided to make a general canvass of the musically interested and to present her with a purse of sovereigns and tin. illuminated address.

SUNBEAM KINDERGARTEN. On Thursday, October 30th, the Sunbeam Kindergarten celebrated its thirteenth birthday, and in spite of the inclement weather the room was crowded with children, mothers, and visitors, who assembled for the birthday party. The programme, arranged by Miss Gorrie, was given by the children, and it proved a delight to all those interested in kindergarten work to watch the tiny tots play their games and perform their exercises with such keenness and pleasure. Before the programme, Miss Hull briefly addressed the visitors. At 4-o'clock a delicious afternoon tea, provided by the mothers, was served, and at the same time between forty and fifty little ones sat at tables loaded with every delicacy suitable to their age.

PARENTS' NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL UNION. At 'lie home of Mrs A maud McKellar. a well-attended meeting of the Parents' National Educational Union was hclil last night, under flic presidency of Mrs Norton Francis. The large drawing-room, villi its glowing fires and softly-sha-'.- i lights, was decorated with purple llag irises, pink wygclia, and roses. After routine business had been transacted, au excellent address—interesting, concise, and logical—was given by Dr. Hansen, D.Sc., on "Education of the Present Day as a Preparation for the Work-times and Play-times of Life." Undaunted by the imposing length of his subject's title, the speaker first touched on the fourfold aims of education, viz., to develop character, to train the reasoning faculties, to impart knowledge that would be of specific use in after life, and to cultivate the tastes, aptitude, and talent of the individual so that each may make the most of his life. Dr. Hansen paid a tribute to the secondary schools of the Dominion, and to the W.E.A., and expressed the opinion that, while the facilities for boys entering tlie professions were excellent in New Zealand, those for boys entering trades were not equallv good, and, in consequence, there was a* dearth of skilled labourers produced in the Dominion. At present the demand for skilled labour in New Zealand was largely met by immigrants from overseas, and this fact seemed a strong argument in support of the theory held by many practical men that boys should begin their apprenticeship to trades not later than fourteen years of age. Passing to the important but rarelytreated subject of preparing for the leisure hours of life, the speaker held the optimistic view that everyone would some day attain leisure hours. Dr. Hansen advocated the eminently sane plan of including in the school syllabus cultural studies, such ag music, drawing, carpentering, cooking, brush-work, and Nature study from observation. From his own experience he was able to say that time could be found for all these activities in school hours, side by side with the study of mathematics, languages, history, etc. The speaker showed that, by steering a wise eourse between the Scylla of examinations and the Charvbdis of excessive manual education, children could be prepared for useful work-times and happy play-times in later life.

The address called forth spirited argument and many compliments, and the lecturer was accorded a very cordial vote of thanks.

Amongst those present were: Mr and Mrs Arnand McKellar, Miss Hay, Mrs Norton Francis, Mrs Alfred Merton and Miss C. Merton, Mrs J. E. Russell, Mrs J. A. S. Wait, Mrs D. E. Hansen, Miss Heywood, Mrs H. S. E. Turner, Mrs John Guthrie, Mr and Mrs J. G. Collins, Mrs J. L. Findlay, Mrs J. H. Williams,' Mrs Erie Harper, Mrs William Day, Mrs Hubert Jones, Mrs C.
