Members of the Pioneer Club are re* minded t/hat the"y 'fliAy take their friends to the lecture to" be given at the club rooms on Saturday afternoon by Miss Wrench, sister* of the hon. secretary of the Overseas Club. . During the month, says the Labour Journal, issued to-day, applications were received from employers for 69 charwomen, 67 domestic workers, 21 cooks, 20 housemaids, 7 waitresses, 5 lady-helps, 4 kitchenmaids, 7 married couples, 11 nursed, 3 s^amstresseß, 1 laundress, 7 housekeepers ;—• total, 222. From the following employees 80 applications were received, all of 'whom, except 1 married couple wit"h 3"children ? were ftuitedi Charwomen 40, domestic workers 13, housemaids 9, cooks^ 3, ladyh'elps 2, housekeepers 2, waitresses 6, seamstresses 2, married couples 2, pantrymaid 1; — total, 80. Many engagements were distributed amongst the 40 charwomen, owing to the di^culty in procuring other help. The Ruapehti, Athenic, and Mararoa ( (ex Mamari) were met, and all new arrivals were placed in positions. The time is not far distant, says Harper's Weekly^ when our tailors will offer for sale suits' of seaweed. Seaweed is already put to various uses. The man of Labrador uses it> for fertilising, for a form of food in times of famine, and even for summer clothes. The seaweed which is now being considered for tho manufacture of cloth, however, is of a different kind, and comes from Australia. vltv lt has rather different fibres from seaweed properly so called. It is taken from the bottom of the 6eA, and has doubtless teen subjected for possible ages to Certain chemical action in sub' merged depths, being in some sort the refuse of geological foreste sunk below the sea before the solid land of the continent was formed. The material has been used experimentally in English fac* tories as a substitute for manufactured cloth, .and although the goods do not show up yet as especially " fine," it is hoped that some way may be found to subject the material to bleaching and refining. Nothing is yet known of its chemical possibilities, dXCept that it takes certain colours in dye. It is expected that, under any cirenmstances, it will make an economical innovation in the dry goods line. The first women's jury In Idaho, interrupted a case at Twinfalls last month (states a New York cable to the Daily Mail) by going home to cook the dinners for their families, ignoring the Judge's declaration that it was impossible for the jury to leave the custody of the Court. The Women answered, his refueal to adjourn tho case by putting on their hate and filing out of the jury-box. The Judge found nothing to say in regard to this gross contempt of Court. The jury duly returned and quietly resumed their places without a protest from the Bench. A case against a woman charged with threatening to ehoot a Mexican they decided in two minutes. "Guilty," said the forewoman, "but we recommend the defendant, who is a neighbour- of mine, to the mercy of the Court." A woman ot seventy, who calls herself Mme. Aquatita, but whose real name is Helene Boismael, has been arrested by the Paris police. She has been an invalid for years, and has driven about Paris in motor-cars, and before motor-cars were invented in carriages, obtaining email sums of money by false pretences, and working eight hours every day at the business. Mme. Aquatita has been a criminal for fifty-two years. Her method was to drive Up to small shops in different corners of the town, make a small purchase, and instead of paying borrow as much money as she thought she could get, because "she had come out without her ptirse." M. Marcel Prevost, the French novelist, speaking before an audience of fashionable women at the Universite dcs Annales in Paris recently, said the best method of combating advancing age was to develop muscle. So long as people only told them that sport was good k^ the health, women were indifferent, but as soon as someone affirmed that sport meant youthfulness, women took it up with impetuous enthusiasm. M. Prevost severely condemned the practice of attempting to reduce the figure to slender proportions by either tight lacing or dieting. The rouge with which women coloured their lips had nothing in common with the redness of natural lips, And, >tlaAj?Araunp> AOd>beAttfcy, l 2t r l o ijg - ifl§i
