He emphasised the importance of such work ac was being done in the Home, and urged that more assistance should be givenjf Mrs. R. J. Collins has gone" on a visit to Wanganui, and will stay with Mrs. Reg. Collins, Durievale. Mr. Reg. Collins (Johnston and Co., Wanganui) is making good recovery after his serious illness. Writes a Paris correspondent :— M. and Madame Lobrun , were divorced eight years ago. -Mdlle. Lebrun, now seventeen, was entrusted to her mother's care, and she has just got engaged to a clerk ten years her senior. Her mother gave her consent.- Her father refused his on the ground that 6he is over-young to marry yet. The resurt was a lawsuit. What could the Judge do better than interview the girl. He did. so, and this *is his paternal report : "Whereas the information concerning the prospective bridegroom, as regards his constitution, his morals, and his worldly position is excellent ; ' whereas the information regarding the prospective bride is equally comforting; whereas the Court has been enabled by a personal interview with the latter in ' Chambers to ascertain that the prospective bride possesses every appearance of robust health, as also a maturity of mind quite exceptional for her agej whereas, finally, in these circumstances the father's scruples, lrcPwever worthy of respect they may be, are not justified, his opposition must be rejected." Therefore, the Court having satisfied itself that Mdlle. Lebrun is not over-young to marry, Mdlle. Lebrun may many her sweetheart forthwith. • If you are intending to get a piano, think.
