Nicholls's future homo will be in Taihauo A New Plymouth Musician. A young New Zealand musician who wnulit seem to have a very promising, not to say brilliant, career betoro her is Miss Constance Lcuthani. of iNcw Pivmouth, daughter of Dr. , Leatliain. Miss Leatham formerly studied music .under tho late Miss Beatrice , Kichuiond, ut the I'itzherbert Terrace Sciiool. Sukso(lueiitly tihe studiud in London for two years, and while there naturally hiut iho advantages of hearing a great deal of good music and many of tho most celebrated virtuosi. Last May she was awarded tho gold medal for solo pianoforte playiug at the Christclnirch musical competitions, and has studied under Mr. Ernest Simpson, of that city, ltecently Miss Leatham gave a solo recital in Ciiristchurch, which was very highly spoken of. Criticising her perioriiiance the Christchurch "Press" stnted that she kept a largo audience in tho Choral Hull tremendously interested for nearly two hours. The- virtuosity and power of her execution, her composure and endurance, tho reliability upon iin unfailing memory, all justified the daring experiment, from which she emerged triumphantly. Another contemporary stated that Miss Leatham was exceptionally brilliant, and her fine technique was fully shown in her presentment ot the Uacii-Tunsig Toccata and I'liguo in ]) Minor the difficult Wnmier-Lizst arrangement of -the "Pilgrim's Chorus from "Tannhaiiser." in the Appnwiuniitu Sonata (tolhovun), Drnhnid s Khn?Foclio No. 2, Opus 79. and in Chopin's big Polonaise, Opus 53. nil of wliK'h elicited warm appreciation from t.ie audience. Several other studies were included in her programme, and were equally successful. Women in England. In tibe course of a lecture in Auckland Miss Snelson, of England, said Hist women in that country mv Viißiug part in civic life to n. large extent, and w'hat strikes the onlooker is the fact that then , judgment and opinions are considered more worth while than before tine war. Men are looking upon women ns their equals in every way, nncl any'jhing that helpe women in one part of tho Lmwre must react upon women in all other parts of the British.world. In England men are accepting very frankly what tihty were unwilling to accept before the war the ability of women to do anything and their power to enter nil forms of service to tho community. Women can never go back. The ability of tho women can never be .wolfed at, as it had been proved in England that a woman in "i----dusky retains all her charm of womanhood with her acquired technical ability, and it has made her a comrade of man. She can thus enter into all this thoughts and feelings, and assist him to a bigger life. Women havo had to think men s thoughts, wear men's clothes, and talk/ men's language, and'this has forced the woman on to the same intellectual- plane as the man. Miss Snelson agreed will) Benjamin Kidd that women will consider tho future more than Hie pr&ent, and tho mass more than the individual.
