A romance is woven round the marriage of Miss Gertrude Brook ancl Mr. John of Dundee, which took place al llolmfirth, neat Huddersfield on 12th May. The bride (according to the Daily ilail) is one of the most vivacious speakers of the Women's Social and Political Union. It was while working in the Dundee election against Mr. WinstoD Churchill, after his defeat at Manchester, that Miss Brook met Mr. M'Guekin. The bridegroom is connected with legal profession in Dundee, and first saw Miss Brook when she was busy al the door of the polling booth imploring the voters to "keep Mr. Churchill out." Miss Brook was one of the first Suifragettes to see the inside of Holloway Prison after a raid on the House oi' Commons, but her fine was paid by an unknown friend and she was liberated before the end of her sentence of fourteen days. She is the daxighler of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Brook, of West End, Wooldale, near Huddersfield. In a letter reoeived by an Australian from London is an interesting account of a few remarks made by Mrs. Besant regarding the effect of universal suffrage in Australia. Says the lady : — "The suffrage enjoyed in Australia gives the same voting power to the most ignorant shop-girl as the most learned man. The result is that all power is in the hands of the working classes, and that life is almost impossible for the educated ancl professional classes, and there is a feeling of being constantly interfered with ; universal suffrage is more of a tyranny than freedom." The Hon. Sydney Holland informs the Daily Mail that the protest against registration of nurses has already received the signatures of 197 matrons, 1094 nurses, 260 medical men, and 70 men and women engaged in hospital work and having to do with nurses. Mrs. Rolleston's is recommended' for hair dressing, shampooing, clipping, and singeing, and all hair treatments with and without electricity. Milos preparation in stock, also special Powders, recommended for ctances, etc. 4. Willis-street, over Carroll's. Telephone 1599. — Advt. PRIZE LOVE-LETTER. The pi'ize-winner in a "love-letter competition" organised at Lintons (Victoria) was an English lady, Miss Leighton, of Pangbourne (Berkshire), writes the Melbourne correspondent of the Daily Mail. The successful epistle ran: — Deadest,, — You asK me to '"forgive you." What can you do, sweetheart, which could tor one moment make me iorget all you are to me, or dim that love which has made earth heaven?— all full of joy! Have I to forgive the tun for lurking behind a cloud, when he has shone in my eyes and made them golden?. . Richard, if I have aught to forgive it is that you shculd have'asked me the question. I have no desire to I know anything except that you have loved me, and love me still. . . Have I not crowned you king— and tht> ling can do no wrong ! These eyes of mine, which you doted beneath your kisses, are sightless until your dear lips unseal them ; my ears me deaf, except to {he magic rail oi ny beloved. lam sleeping, and shall awake but at the sound of your footsteps. "I can never understand how any girl can marry without learning a few timple things about cooking,"saysa writer in the Girl's Own Paper. "Why a mother allows a daughter to go from her home into a home of her own without teaching her to cook plain joints, make coffee, cakes, simple salads, and cook plain vege tables, 1 cannot imagine. I fondly urge all bride. o—no0 — no matter what may be their circumstances in life — tb learn 'these simple things. Whenever you are capable of living without eating you may consider it unnecessary to know how to cook — never before ! I have known bricks who said they haled to have their dieam of love interrupted by such sordid details as cooking ancl housework. To them I would say that it is peculiarly in woman's province to prevent sordid details of living from interfering with the dream of love. The more clever a wore an is at managing without fust, or liouble the inevitable business of eating and living, Hie surer she is of preserving, man's admiration and affection. A wellordered home, a pleasant ami pretty wife — these are the things the business or professional man dreams of, and this you can never be without close attention to 'sordjicl details.' This expression 'sordid delailb' voices a world-old mistake, and one I hope we are all coming to understand. It is wrongly acknowledged by everybody thai the scullery is the limit, and that scullery work places the person who does it at the bottom of the social scale. From this idea has arisen women's distaste for kitchen work, and the young wife who sets out to 'clo her own work' frequently rushes through this part of it intent upon spending the greater part of the day in the more 'ladylike' aspects of life." I see some lovely lingerie and lace blouses (writes a Transvaal lady), very fine and transparent; which ai-o made over slips of, a sort of gold or silver jersey material, clinging to the figure and making a delightful lining. It is quite a novelty in underbodices this little metallic silky jersey; it buttons at the back, and has a certain amount of warmth and substance to recommend it for wintry days under transparent chimi6ettes. A Parisian iudge has hold that the defendant in a breach of promise case was justified in not carrying out his promise because of a droad of being afflicted with a wife who would ultimately resemble his prospective mother-in-law. PROTECT YOUR COMPLEXION. There is a common idea that it is only in summer that tender skins need protection. That is fallacy. Risks to the complexion are just as 'great in the winter as in the summer.- 2S T ovena Sunproof Creme is windproof as well as sunproof, and just as valuable for outdoor use in winter as in summer. It affords positive protection at all seasons. The Novena Pasta is designed for the protection of the arms, neck, and shoulders. For this purpose it has proved excellent, and to this end it is being very largely used in Austria and England. The Novena preparations are a proper complement or auxiliary of Valaze.
