Lady Stradbrboke, who is the vicereine at the Federal Government House in Australia, is taking a great interest in the Bush. Nursing Service, which has been an immense boon to great numbers of people, men, women, and children, in the backblocks of various parts of Australia. A movement is now on foot to establish in connection with this service at least one hospital, where the biish nurses could be sure that their patients would be taken in aiid cared for, at little, or, if necessary, at no expense. Lady Stratlbrooke spoke in a most earnest and convincing manner at a meeting- called by Hie Mayor of Melbourne to interest people in the work, and her real anxiety for the causo wa.s a most powerful lever in drawing in help from other people.

The annual meeting of the Eastbourne branch of the British and Foreign Bible Society was held on Tuesday at the residence of the president, Mrs. Mather. The Rev. C. Stent presided, and put before the meeting some excellent plans for_ sustaining interest in the society during the year; also a complete scheme of organisation of the district. Mrs. Florence Porter spoke upon the scope of the work and the . growing interest evinced everywhere. The following election took place : Mrs. Mather, president (re-elected); Mrs. Duff, secretary (re-elected); committee, Mesdames Fitzsimmons, Chain?'' Barnes, Ayson, Higginbotham, White, Rose, Noel Mather, and Miss Hay ward. Afternoon tea brought an enjoyable and profitable afternoon to a close.

Mrs. Porter presided over a large attendance of the Management Committee of the Women's National Reserve Residential Nursery, '137, Owen street. Interesting reports were given by the various representatives. The Lyall Bay branch was warmly applauded when the president, Mrs. Rudkin, stated that the whole amount for the painting of the nursery house had been collected and paid by that branch. This effort was expected to take a- considerable time to accomplish, but to the surprise of all the money was in hand by the time the painting was completed. Mrs. Taylor's (president, Kilbirnie) report of the money being raised and paid for the painting of the annexe received hearty praise; The chairwoman expressed great satisfaction that the workers had realised that if they owned property they must maintain that property and ki»p it in good order; when they had to work hard for the upkeep of the big family they might have overlooked the property. Khandallah's contribution to the general fund of £12 was greatly appreciated, as also was £10 from the Wellington South circle, paid in by Mrs. Chote. Kelburn, Karori road, and Northland branch, as well as paying its quarterly quota of £i 3 15s, also paid £3 3s towards the furnishing of the annexe. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded ii 1'" ? " ?' Watt for the supervision of all the improvements, alterations, etc., that have been carried through during the last three months. "An Anxious Mother" writes in some concern, expressing a doubt whether girl immigrants coming to New Zealand are of suitable type. In seeking a domestic servant for a small household she has met many new arrivals.quite unfitted for household work, many not having been m private homes at all, but in restaurants and similar places. The writer would welcome a good honest English or Scotch country girl, -even if she were untrained ; but she doubts whether the town girls are suitable, and are likely later on to become good and useful wives. A municipal croquet club has been formed at Otaki. Mrs. Brandon (Mayoress) has been elected president, Mrs. Atkinson secretary, Mrs. Percival treasurer, Mesdames Davies, Evans, Percival, Nicolson, Eddy, and Messrs. Percival and Nicolson a committee. The annual dance of the Brooklyn municipal electors will take place at St. Matthew's Hall,, when announcements of candidates for the forthcoming carnival in aid o? the Brooklyn play areas, will be made. All arrangements are being made"to ensure a very pleasant evening for the guests, and it is hoped that there will be a large attendance. Mr. J. I. Goldsmith is the honorary secretary of the effort. ; A well-arranged and successful dance was given last night at St. Francis' Hall when Miss Borlase was the guest of lionour. In spite of wind and rain, there was a good attendance of dancers. The committee in charge of the arrangements comprised members of Miss Borlase's moire recent dancing classes, and one of their number presented her with a bouquet of winter, flowers. The Cabaret orchestra provided the»music for the dancing, and the floor was all that could be desired. Supper was served in the downstairs room, the tables having been arranged with white narcissi, St. John's wort, and snapdragon. The committee comprised Misses George M'Kay, Robinson, Pockley, Rodd, Collins, Messrs. Pankhurst (hon. secretary), George, N. Mantell, Lake, Mills, R. Robinson, and Williams. Miss Borlase was J.vearing black satin with fur wrap. Among those who_ were present were Mesdames Bayfeild, Ronaldson, Dawson, Robinson, Pockley, Miss Dickinson, who was wearing black taffeta, Miss Marcia Pockley in apricot taffeta, Miss Ronaldson white with panels of lace, Miss Collins, pink frock; Mies Turton, black ; Miss Richards, old rose velvet; Miss Joan Kirkcaldie, black charmeuse; Miss Athya, orange frock: Miss InnisJones, black taffeta-; Miss Molly Duthie, yellow silk with gold lace; ■Miss Bond, deep yellow taffeta; Miss Thompson, Miss Burgess, Miss Chudley, Miss O'Shea, Missses Post (2), Mrs. Bradshaw, royal blue charmeuse, Miss Matthews, Miss Halse, Miss Bishop, Miss Austin, Miss Joliffe, Miss Clark. When in New Zealand, Miss Josie Melville, ■ star of the "Sally" Company, read, and was much impressed, by Dr. Harvey Sutton's statement that it was much safer to be a soldier oh the battlefields of France than to be a baby in Sydney, to-day, says the Sydney "Sun." Miss Melville's sympathy for Sydney babies takes a practical turn, and, knowing the excellent work done by St! Margaret's Hospital, where each year the lives of ten thousand babies are made safe, she has decided to endow a "Josie Melville" cot in perpetuity at ,St. Margaret's, Darlinghurst. For this object the sum of £500 is necessary, arid to raise the money several entertainments will be arranged. For the period of transition between bobbed hair and done-up hair the Congress of French Hairdressers recommends these three new styles :—The Directoire, with the hair" drawn up above the head,, and a band stretched round the temples. The Louis Phillipe, with curls at the neck and ears. The Empress Eugenic, with two bands across the forehead, and the hair falling over the shoulders. All these facilitate the wearing of made-up hair, either that lately abandoned by the wearers themselves, or a new adornment acquired from others.- If the decisions arrived at by the congress at its recent sitting in Paris can be carried out, the bobbed hair fashion will soon have passed definitely out of existence.
