HATTERS OF INTEREST FROM FAR AND NEAR,

Mrs, John M'Cormack. Of so charming a personality is Mrs. John M'Cormack that it is easy to lielicvc that she also—like- her celebrated husband—belongs to the Emerald Isle. She is, in fnct,_ a Dublin girl. .Mrs. M'Cormack's imprcs-ions of Australia are musl happy, their tour having bsen, if possible, even more enjoyable than the American trips, and her little son and daughter, who delighted in the open-air life, have made ho:.ts of small friends. When leaving Syduoy by Hie Osterlpy for London thev were finite inundated with gilts and farewell messages, the latter including telegrams from the children c-f the Governor-General and Lady Denman, and Sir Walter and Lady Barttelot. As M.r. and Mrs. M'Cormack leave Auckland by the Marama on January 1!) for another American tour, they have thought; it wiser to send the children to their London home in the interval, pending Mr. M'Cormack's return for the Lovent Garden opera season. Mrs. M'Cormack is a devoted lover of grand opera, attending the performances so frequently that, as she laughingly savs, "I know them all bv heart." On Saturday Mrs. M'Cormack lti.vrs with her husband for Kotonia, c trip which they have long wished to make, and are looking forward to with "ninth pleasure. .Kotonia, in fact, is tho chief reason for Mr. M'Cormack's visit to New Zealand.
