Friends of the Rev. Father Martindale,, who visited New Zealand a few years ago, and who has relatives in Christchurch, will bo interested to learn that he has written another novel, entitled "Bill"—the story of a man who comes from London to settle in New Zealand.

The children of Dame Commander Sybil Thorndike have evidently inherited many, gifts from their clever mother lind their, talented fa,ther, Lewis Cassoil, the actor-producer. One daughter, Ann, has already acted a good deal and written "The Camwejls Are Coming," produced at tlie Children's theatre, London, two years ago.' Mary, the othor daughter, was Wendy in the 1928 "Peter Pan" at the Garrick. Lady Diana Cooper, formerly the well-known society actresa, Lady Diana Manners, is to revive her role of the Madonna in C. B. Cochran's presentation of "The Miracle." Tilly Koscli, Viennese, dancer, is to take the part of tho saintly nun, whose place in the convent is taken by the Madonna. Jean Forbes Robertson, fencing, as Petor Pan, with the bold Captain Hook of Barrie's fantasy, in Aberdeen quite recently fractured her right forefinger. The howl of pain she let out Was real, though none in the audience ' guessed. She carried on to the end, despite the pain. Her subsequent en- ; counters with the bad captain would be left-handed. The fiftieth annual report, of rhe Avon Rowing Club, presented at the annual meeting last night, contained 1 tho following:—"We. regret to report tho death of Mrs R. F. Batchelor and | Mrs A. H. Nightingale, the wives_ of two of our present members. With their passing w© have lost two of our most able lady supporters, and the club extends to Mr Batchelor and Mr | Nightingale our deep sympathy at their | great loss. Mr C. E. Gwatkin, an old I and active member of' the club in its ! early years, also passed away during | the year." j A strong committee has completed arrangements for the cabaret dance to be held to-night in the Winter Garden in aid of the Returned Soldiers' Association. Tickets have been selling readily and those who attend are promised' an enjoyable evening, and will, at the same time, be helping where it is most deserved. In an article concerning the Davis Cup contest, the ' 'Daily Mail" says that remarkably few people have ever seen I the Davis Oup itself, which is always kept by the Lawn Tennis Association of the winning country. For tho players themselves there is no medal or cup. In reality, tlie trophy should be described as a bowl, for it is a large silver affair such as might be used to hold claret-cup or fruit salads at a dance. Its donor is, of course, Mr Ihvight Davis, of America, formerly a Secretary of State for War, ana now Governor of the Philippine Isles. YEAST CORRECTS CONSTIPATION. "Constipation," says Dr. Gruenfield, of Vienna, "is a stagnation" in certain |,avts of the intestines. It nfflicts more than _ half the human race, women especially. This _ condition is readily overcome by taking yeast." Ask for Ultima Capsules of Pure Yeast. 2s 3d packet, E.

The slightest flaw in the ball, then, can ruin your stroke. The unvarying perfection of North British Golf Balls is no accident. Every ball is tested and X-rayed for defects before leaving the factory. All Dealers. --2 SELWYN KINDERGARTEN.

REUNION AND DANCE

The recently founded Association of old pupils of the Normal District High School held its first social gathering in Jellicoe Hall last night, when a large j gathering of former pupils met at a happy reunion, old class-mates greeting each other with enthusiasm and renewing friendships oi : earlier days. Music for dancing was supplied hy the Collegian Dance Orchestra, and the introduction of Monte Carlo, lucky spot, moonlight, and spotlight dances added to the merriment of the evening. Some community games and competitions completed a very enjoyable programme, and the Association's inaugural dance may be considered a complete success. The members of the danco committee were Miss E. Coleby (president), Miss. C. Hanna, Miss E. Hanna, Miss R. O'C'onnell, Miss E. Riley, Mr C. Parish (lion, secretary), Mr R. Keenan, Mr A. Brown, and Mr A. MeNally. Miss E.

DEATH OF "MARY ARDEN." j The death of Mrs Violet Middleton Murry, after a long illness, has robbed tlj o world of letters of a short-story writer of unusual promise. She wrote under the name of Mary Arden. Her collection of short stories, "Luck and Other Stories," published at' the moment she was stricken down, contained "The Idealist," which had tho place of honour in Mr O'Briens anthology of tho best English short stories for the year. Her gay and wistful irony found, expression in the story, "Love to the Angels," which appeared in Mr O'Brien's anthology for 1930, when tho whole volume was dedicated to her." Mrs Murry, who was in her thirtieth year, was the second wife of Mr John Middleton Murry, editor of the "Adelphi," and a literary and art critic of high reputation. Mr Murry's first wife (Katherine Mansfield) was the third daughter of Sir Harold Beauchamp, of Wellington. Katherine Mansfield died in 1923. "FLORODORA" REVIVED. Preparations for the production of "Florodora.'' which was recently revived at Daly's Theatre, London, revealed a comedy of women's' fashions. The production was played in 1931 fashions, but playgoers who remember the original "Florodora" of 1899, ivere amused to see how little difference there was between tho two styles. Miss Dorothy Ward, who played the part of Lady Holyrood in the revival, wore a straight-lined dress of anglelength, with a short jacket and one of the latest "bowler" hats. Alter these had been ordered it was found that Miss Ada Reeve, who played the part in 1899, wore practically the same costume, the only appreciable difference being that her skirt was slightly flounced. MissLorna Hubbard and other actresses in the 1931 cast wore up-to-date costumes which were very like the fashions of the 'nineties. In the famous double-sextette, "Tell me, pretty maiden," the girls sang; the encores in bnstles and liigh-ncckecl tuniccoats. DANCE AT PORT LEVY.
