CARE OF MOTHERS. FAMOUS SURGEON'S ADVICE. "The public cannot have too much impressed upon it the need for proper environment in child-birth,'' said Mr Victor Bonney, the distinguished British surgeon, yesterday. This was one thing to which sufficient importance was not paid. An expectant mother should have all the care and attention which it was possible to give her, and should be constantly in touch with medical advice. Sometimes this cost a lot of money, which some peoplo were loath to spend, but they thought nothing of spending as mucn on a holiday. In all cases, said Mr Bonney, doctors realised that the natural way was the best, but sometimes Nature would not help itself, and surgical aid had to be called in. This should never be withheld, for child-birth could either renew a woman's vitality or seriously damage it. Naturo itself was concerned only with propagating its kind, not with those who bore tliem. WOMEN'S PROGRESSIVE CLUB.

The tenth session of the Women's Progressive Club, Governor's Bay, was opened on Thursday evening. Mrs Pairman, president, was in the chair, and there was a good attendance of members. It was agreed to continue the dramatic and choral circles, and arrangements were made accordingly. Much enthusiasm was shown when the president proposed to raise funds to buy an up-to-date gramophone, and to present it to the School Committee for educational purposes. Mrs W. Harris seconded the motion, and it was left in the hands of the proposer to make all enquiries and report.

A discussion on Mr Sidey's Daylight Saving Bill took place, and a petition was ultimately drawn up asking the Government not to renew the Bill for tho following reasons: (1) For the past' half-year the children have visibly deteriorated in health and well-being; (2) the women find that it adds to the onerous working of their homes, already arduous enough; (3) it interferes very considerably with the dairying and other forms of farm work. The petition was signed by all present. LADIES' CHORAL SOCIETY. A hearty invitation is being extended to young ladies of from 15 to 18 years of age wishing to join the Christchurch Choral Society (late St. Cecilia Choir).
