"Everybody is very decent about paying their dues." "she says. "They often come to my office to save me the trouble of rowing out to their vessels." Miss Gale has lived at the waterside all her life, and since her sixth birthday has owned a boat. She Iras a "thorough knowledge of tides, charts,. and navigation. A novel idea was introduced at the last meeting of the literary circle of the Hastings Women's Community Club, when members were asked to give short impromptu, talks on their birthplace and early childhood. Two only were born in the same place. They were Londoners. One member was born at Grimsby, and well remembered the terrible storms that endangered th? lives of the many fishermen in the district, another was born on a sugar plantation in Queensland, another in the gold mining town of Charleston, West Coa.->t, while another, Mrs Curlett. described h*v home town, Lyttelton, before the tunnel was made through the Port Hills. There was a good attendance at the carnival dance, held in the Wharenui School on Saturday evening. Music was supplied by Stamlcr's band, and novelty dances were won by Miss D. Hawthorne and Mr H.

Forty-eight players took part in the event, which was won by Shirley for the third time in succession, by 59 points to 54 points. At the close a community "sing," led by Mr J. Cusack, took place, and Mr R. Allen sang a song. Owing to the fact that the regime at the French Embassy is now a bachelor one. Madame Regis de Olivicra, the wife of the Brazilian Minister, has undertaken the task of presenting French ladies at the Royal Courts. Among those she has just sponsored is Madame Maurois, wife of the wellknown French writer, whose brilliant and subtle speciality is England and English psychology. Madame Maurois is the French Mrs Pankhurst. A determined feminist and champion of sex equality across the Channel, she aspires to rival Lady Astor's achievement in this country by becoming the first woman M.P. in France. But the fulfilment. of thai ambition may not be yet awhile.

A five years' labour of ]ove recently culminated in the opening of a little church in the village of Bardsey. near Leeds, England, says an English paper. For five years the Catholic villagers have had to worship in a coalhouse converted roughly into the requirements of a rural chapel. As new houses were built the ever-increasing congregation was obliged to hear Mass from the lawn outside the coalhouse. Each week Father Clenaghan, Superior of the Oblate Fathers at Sicklinghall, went to the "church" to conduct the services. He travelled twice to Ireland in search of funds to provide a new building, and each time he returned with £IOO. In the meantime, the little congregation made superhuman efforts "to swell the funds by every possible means, and a few Sundays ago took a personal pride in the opening of the little stone church. As a result of a night census taken in London a few months ago, 68 homeless men and 20 homeless women were found in the streets. The same night there were 266 free beds empty at the casual wards, etc. Have you anything to sell—Do you wish to buy?
