Corliss, Commissioner of Stamps, yesterday, announced that Miss Valeric Corliss, who only started her studies in London in May, ha-d passed both teacher's and performer's examinations in piafto and theory at the Royal Academy of Music.

A pleasant afternoon was spent on Saturday at thu Congregational Schoolroom, when the ( pupils of Miss Cal I - ruthera held their annual prize-giving. Musical items were rendered by the pupils, and th cprizes were presented by Mrs. Norton, who algb, on behalf of the pupils, presented Miss Carruthers with a collection of books. In Paris the designers are giving attention to what one may term the Russian style of costume (writes' a London correspondent). I was looking at some pictures of Cosea6ks, and thought how wonderfully their long, full-skirted coals resemble the new designs for our winter wear. Sensible, too, when women ] are clad so lightly "below vision." I 6ften wonder how they can feel warm enough. The skirts are narrow and short, and these full coats and long tunics give an air of being worn over full trousers. A smartly turned-otibA.B., with all his kit flying in tho breefce as the Wind catches his lull-bottomed trou* sere, differs very slightly lrom a modern lady emerging from a fashionable shop. Velvet will be worn all the winter, and as a choice of colour— black. These costumes are made up With a long tunic arid harrOW Skirt, and a sleeveless bodice, which has long full sleeves of black ninon and n vest softened with folds of ninon over fine shadowy cream or white lace. With siich. a costume the only ornaments needed ai'e a string of pearls with a diamond clasp, a pair of diamond or pearl eardrops, and a brooch fastening tho cross-over of the bodice. If your fancy turns towards a wide- brimmed cahotier of velvet, with a ragged featheredging, you may have one ; ol 1 if you prefer a tiny military style of toque, you^ choose from the headgear of the armies in the field. Of these the Scotch cap and tho Belgian fatigue cap are j prime favourites, fitting the head 'Well, comfortable, and light to wear. The Belgian cap has a closely turned-up brim, which is gefierally bound with I ribbon, and ju&t a tihy cockade made of quilled ribbon set jauntily at one side. / Miss Tiffen, who has jusb arrived back from England, is staying at the Windsor Hotel.

Staying at the Eitopil'e Ai'e "the lleV. and Mrs. Drinkwatei', Marlon, who leave by the Indrabarah for England. From an interesting letter received by Mrs. Chalfield from a friend living in Constantinople, I am allowed to make some extracts. She wr ited :— " Wd ai'e very badly off here, no money, no business, some days even no bread. Living as we do in tho country, n6thitig tends to make things more cheerful. All men up to thirty-nirte have been called in. Those that can afford to pay an indemnity have done so. We have again bought our boy out— no joke to send away so much money — firstly £50, secondly £40, and now £43, but the money is given Willingly, knowing as we do the great misery those that are sent Out of the country have to Buffer, At the beginning, when all were being called, only Christians were allowed to pay but now they accept from the Turks, fearihg Very likely a revolution. Can you imagine any country mobilising witn no money or food, and no clothes to give their sc-ldiefs, wh6 are told to take five days' nourishment With them, and when that is done what remainsstarvation ! Some Young Turks of good family who were sent away and haVe returned— having had money— tell piti* fill tales. For in&tance, a. friend of outs WAs sent with a nurhber of men to Kirk l£tliseii He managed to get a hoigfe for
