A Primitive Heritage " 'My fact is my fortune,- sir,' sho said." Tlioro is a girl in America at tho present time, Ann Haviland, who is able to paraphrase that ok'l-song sontiment into " 'My nose has brought me fortune, sir,' she said." When s'ho was a tiny toddler her mother discovered that Ann, if blindfolded, could define and name any flower in the homo garden by smelling it. This gift she developed as she grew up. Then Dr. Charabot, a great French perfumer, watched her oue day mixing in a scent laboratory, and that was the beginning of Ann's rapid climb on the ladder of success. He took her to Paris, and taught her all he knew. Now she is an artist in perfumes. She knows 400 different scents, and can tell the ingredients merely by catching a whiff. She owns her own laboratory, and designs and concocts special perfumes of delightful subtlety for an immense cliontele. The second evening concert last week by the Maranui school children and friends was very largely attended. The first part of the programme was the same as on the opening night, all the items by the children being heartily applauded. Great credit is due to the teachers responsible for the training given to the children.- The second part was contributed to by well-known adult entertainers. Songs were given by Messrs. W. Thompson and Len. Barnes, and Misses Eva Smith and Ruby Scott. Mr. Oswin recited, tlio Waiata Party rendered a pleasing quartet, and Mr. AV. W. Crawford gave an elocutionary item. Recalls were frequent. The accompanists were Miss M'Donald and Mr. Frank Thomas. As a result of the two concerts the school funds will benefit to the 'extent of £24.
