Mrs. J. Oooder, of Karoii, is giving tea at her lesidcnce this afternoon a* farewell to Mrs. A. J. Pal.ter.son, whoso husband has bouu appointed borough engineer ut (Tihborno. The other day a cable message slateid that Miss White-law, late of Auckland, had been appointed mistress of the Wycombe Abbey School. Kef erring to the retiiing mistress, our London correspondent, under date 18th February, wines :—: — "Although Miss Dove, mistress of the Wvcombe Abbey School, may not have been out in New Zealand, there are many friends there who know her well — past pupils nnd their parents — to say nothing of tho fact that her brother, the Rev. J. LI. Dove, M.A., is the new head of tho Wnnganui Collegiate School. There is, therefore, a certain amount of New Zealand interest in the announced intention of Miss Dove to retire from her present duties, after twenty-eight years active work as a headmistress. She considers the time has come when she should. have rest. It is fifteen years sinco Miss Dove was chosen to control the Wyromlie Abbey High School for girls ; prior to that the Abbey was a mansion belonging to Lord Carringlon. As a school its beginnings were comparatively small — there were only thirty boarders. An the reputation of the institution spread, its numbers grew, and now the pupils total something like three hundred. They have come from many quarters of tho globe, including Now Zealand, Australia, South Africa, and Canada. Prior to taking charge of Wyconib'o Abbey, Miss Dove had been for many yeuis headmistress of St. Leonard's School at St. Andrews in Fifeshire, and there she inaugurated the special system which has since beun acted upon up to date. 'It has always been my conviction that girls should be brought up to have some definite object in life. 1 think the piocess vaguely described as 'finishing' a girl's education too often means that she is merely trained in good manners, and to be able to lake her part in conversation, while of actual learning tho amount she gains is comparatively small. In families where the number of girls is only one or two this education may be, perhaps, sufficient, for those girl* are generally wanted in their homes. But where there ftro three or four girls they should be brought, up to homo ptofessianal work, for as a rule they ure perfectly capable of doing good work. I also think that it is only by manual labour tltat the full intelligence is developed, and our girls here, though they are all of the middle ulass, or uppet middle class, have to learn some jtind of manual work, such a.i bookbinding or carpentering.' It will bo remembered in New Zealand that Miss Dove was nominated for the Mayoralty of High Wycombe, about a year ago, but local prejudice ngninst tie* election of a lady-mayor provod too strong, and so she was not elected." The late Countess of Baugelet, who was buried on 10th February at Beaumont, near Clermont-Ferrand, has established a claim to eccentricity by her will. The London Chronicle's Pans 'correspondent *Uil£# that the counter, who wns 77, left £20,000 to the town of Rioni, an a mark of appreciation for M. Clemenlcl, its Mayor 1 . M. elemental, who h one of the Vice-Presidents of the Chamber, is alro a Deputy for Itiom. The local band was paid £40 on condition that it played Chopin's Funeral .March in every village and before every inhabited house on the route covered by the funeral procession, a distance of twelve mile.*. The band earned tho gratuity by taking tho funeral march in relay*, playing it fifty-seven times in nil. " Tho mupicians were suffering from cevere physical exhaustion when the graveside was reached. The decenned, notwithstanding that she was a widow , in her will insisted that fthe wns entitled to the mourning colour white, usually observed for young girls. She accordingly ordered that the coffin, itn pull, the flriwers placed upon it, the hearse, nnd the horses should be white. AH the conditions, with the exception of thnt of the horse*, were complied with. Only one white hor^e was lo be found in the whole district, and this animal was harnessed to the funeral car. The tombstone also is to he while, nnd after the usual inscription is to be added a notification that the countess wns a maiden lady.
