An cxception-illy pleasant evening was spent jesterday by a large number of Wellington citiz^n6 on board the French cruiser Jules Michelet, when Admiral Gilly, the captain, and officers gave a reception and dance, which proved a most enjoyable affair. Every guest was courteously and heartily welcomed by Admiral Gilly and the captain, and all the officers were untiring in their efforts to make the occasion a pleasant one. The decorations were charming; good use was made of the New Zealand lycopodium and ferns, and, with a generous supply of bunting, the usually "business-like" ship was transformed into a very delightful reception hail. Coloured electric lights were a great addition to' the brightness of the scene, and, with many j pretty frocks, made a \picture th(at will not easily be forgotten. Dancing, to the strains of a good band, took place on a lower deck, the buffet being arranged above. The cloak-room arrangements were excellently. managed, ao that the guests found no contusion when the time for departure came. There was much of interest to be seen by the nondancevs. .There are some fine pictures. | each having a special interest of some sort attached. An etching of Marshal Foch, signed by himself, may be described truly as a "speaking likeness." A dfea-piece by the artist Matisse, with breaking- waves, is hung in a v«etibule, j but needs a more distant view to be fufty appreciated. Some pieces of sculpture in alabaster were very beautifully done, and of fine subjects. Of wonderfuj interest were the transparent, photographs, with intense light behind them showing some of the higher-class manufacturing possi; bilities of France. The representations of jewellery were particularly vivid, the pearl necklaces seeming absolutely real. Clothing, -with the real French cachet, was of interest, too, (he dainty. Jntle shoe 3 attracting a special admira^idn.

Private advice has been received of the death \of the Dowager Lady Glasgow, widow of the late Lord Glasgow, says the. Christchureh "Press." Many Wellington people will hear of this with niuch regret, for when Lord Glasgow was Governor of New .Zealand he and his wife wore among ths most hospitable of those who hud occupied the position.

Both Lord and Lady Glasgow were particularly popular and respected in Wellington, i

British women are positive slaves'-of ill-constructed, badly-arranged, and generally over-furnished homes. The result is endless and unnecessary work in running about, beating, brushing, and dusting.. Miss Edith Place, of Chelsea, a mudfi travelled woman, who made this remark to the members of th« Architectural Association, London, gave them her view of what domestic architecture should be. London women were the victims of builders who had no idea of the enormous difficulties and the endless work they were throwing upon domestic workers. The scarcity of domestic labour would ultimately compel women to rearrange their homes and builders to construct houses easier to manage. Mrs. Charles Pell thought we were only at the beginning of the movement for real labour-saving-homes. Housekeeping was not an eight-hour day and a sj-day job, but continuous slavery that could only be ended by proper home reorganisation-
