Misses D. Bolton and B. Gibbs, of the Ladies' Seagull Amateur Swimming Club, als,o intend joining the party to Masterton. A garden fele, in connection with the Wellington South branch of the W.C.T.U.,, will bo held in the grounds of Mr. J. P. Luke, Hil'opi-street, on Saturday next. . The following extract is taken from a letter written by a prominent member of the W.C.T.U. in Auckland: "Miss Newcombe and Miss Hodge, who are at' present visiting New Zealand as representatives of the Australian and New Zealand Voters' Association (London), are both cultivated speakers of ability, and can opeak with first hand knowledge of the struggle now going on hi the Old Country. Their addresses give one ,ah insight into the history of tHe movement and the causes which have led up to the recent developments', which one cannot, gain from other sources. They are not collecting funds, their object being merely to disseminate information and enlist eympathy. They are anxious to meet and address women's organisations and others who may_ be intere&ted in the subject during their stay in the Dominion, which is strictly limited in time as their other engagements prevent them makiftg an, extended stay." These ladies are to speak for the first time in Wellington on Saturday afternoon at the garden party to be held at Mrs. J. P. Luke's, Hiropi-streeJ;,,. in connection vith the W.C.T.U. Officers and delegates to the New Zealand Convention to be held at Nelson hext week are expected to be present) and Lady Stout will declare the garden party open. Every womati > who is interested in women's yvork ought not to miss , this opportunity "of hearing these distinguished speakers. A very well-kndwn English lawn tennis champion, who has recently been married, raised a controversial storm a year or two ago by declaring that no woman should mal'ry until she was twenty-fiVe, and she has remained firm to her principles, for she steadfastly refused to go to the altar until she had attained that age, chronicles the Pictorial. Most people will agree that she was right itt fixing this as the age when, from < evei'y point of view, a woman is likely to make marriage a success. Iler mind is as settled as it will ever be, she li^s had experience of life, and she ought to have .gained domestic knowledge by this time, but ,the general impression ever will be that in the 'matter of marriage a girl should bo guided by the suitability of the offer. Madame de Thebes, who stands at pl"e« Sent for the most famous seer of the Western world, predicts success for women in the present year, but her forecast for| EnglaHd is anything but roseate, says the Pictorial, Ifc needs no prophet's eye, however, to see what otir future must be if Socialism is nofc firmly kept in check. The governing classes must stand firmer than "they have dohe hitherto. This is the bogey that Madame Thebes bids Us fear. ' But she apparently is not specially "down on" thirteen as the bringer of ill-luck. One gathers that her predictions have no special bearing on this particular number, which, indeed, is one which she regards as favourable to ahy schemes in which her own sex is concerned. Some doctors are trying to establish a standard shoe in which short vamps, pointed toes, and high heels will bo un« known. It will have plenty of room for the toes, and a wide heel, so that the weight of the body will be evenly distributed on the foot. At present many people suffer from weak ankles^ and complain of pains in the front or the back of the leg, which- thciy attribute to rheumatism, but which is simply the tesult of strain caused by wearing iJI-ntting shoes. Another step forward in helping to modernise our city has recently ' been carried out at the premises of Cole's I Cash Drapery Company, 45-50, Man' j ners-street. The two frontages have been replaced by the- latest style in ' "Island' 1 and combination show-case windows. Over £150 Worth of plateglass has been used in the design. The windows are built in four different styles to suit thfe various leading departments of the business. This variati6n enables coßtumes, millinery, ladies' underwear, children's goods, and Manchester goods to be shown to the best advantage. The ehoW-casefe will be utilised for hosiery, gloves, laces, fancy goods, and baby lineh. An automatic lighting system has been installed to enable the premises to be illuminated in non-business hours. The light for illuminating the frontage in Manhersstreet will exceed 5750 candle-power.— Advt.

No sooner | v/nn thin "lopfty-llu'vy" fiUggpclion made than it wiiß 8cool'(lingly acted upon. From v friend who happened to be pre sent I ffnther thnt the most Btriking fcaturo of the exchange was lh« fact that oach b!(Jo in its r>cw position looked strangely as if to tlio manner born, that tlio maids looked aristocratsj and that the aristocrats had the appearance of perfect maids. After all, this is probably only the bilious judgment of a cynical critic. At any rate, the staff did sit down to tablo, and the visitors waited . upon them, the only trouble experienced by the Voluntary waiters being that they could carry only one plate at a time, and that theil' thumbs nad an unpleasant habit of trying to wander into the gravy! There were 200 plates to be, served, and six courses to be eaten, and when they had finished their work they; had to clean up 1200 plates and the thousand other tninga which Were necessary to the feast. Later they had to prepare tho supper for the staff, who took their places in the ballroom. The guests are said to have behaved very nicely, and some of them were so much at home that they oven pressed tips ihto the palms of their aristocratic attendants. The visitors were delighted with their experiment, but, determined not to have too mnch ot a good thing, the> took care not to carry it beyond the one evening.
