Miss Isobel Wilford, of Wellington, who has been playing with the Guy. Bates Post Company, in the "Green Goddess" and "Tho Masqueraders," is now playing Jessica in the "Merchant of Venice," with the Moscovitch Company. In reference to the production of this famous play, a former resident of Wellington attended a lecture given by Mr. Moscovitch at the Feminist Club in Sydney, at which he stated that he had made a special study of the character of Shylock from the Jewish point of view. He found that at the time Shakespeare wrote, Shylock would have been married at the age of 18 or 19 and as Jessica, his daughter, is mentioned as being 17, her father would only bo_ about 37 or 38—which, of course, is I quite a different appearance from the aged person who has always appeared lin the part. It seemed to Moscovitch absurd for Shylock to have a daughter lof the "flapper" age, and to appeal looking like her grandfather. Therefore he gives quite a different reading' of the character, I A pleasant reception was given at the Lyceum Club Rooms, Lambton quay, in honour of one of the' foundation members, Mrs. Norwood, now tho Mayoress of Wellington, and to welcome Mrs. J. C. Newlands, a literary entertainer. Mrs. D. C. Bates, president, spoke of the help | which women could give in civic direcI tions, and which would make for more understanding and less criticism, and in reference to the genius of Mrs. Newlands, she described-her as a-"wizard of ■words." Both ladies responded suitably to the kind things said. Mrs. Murdoch beautifully expressed her farewell to her Wellington friends through the music of her harp, and then sang a song on the same theme. There were many who, felt a great regret that Mrs. Murdoch is drawn back to San Francisco by its larger,musical sphere. Mrs. Aston presented charming posies td the special guests of honour, and then tea was served. Mrs. Newlands referred to the help.given by New Zealand women during the efforts to gain the franchise, coupled -with the name of Lady Stout, a life-member of the club; and also in regard to the fine efforts made during- the war. The party was very largely attended and most successful. Tho engagement is announced of Lily, daughter of Mrs. Keeblo and the late Captain Keeble, of Brooklyn, Wellington, to Mr, F. J. T. Grigg, youngest son of Mrs. Grigg and the late Mr John Grigg, of Thames. Some remarks made by the principal of the Christian Brothers' Colle°-e in Kimberley, South Africa, at an "annual prize-giving ' might wel bo taken to heart in other parts of. the world. In speaking about tho special difficulties of the teachers of the day, and the particular problems which arise connected with the life of the time, the principal said after referring to some of the problems: Probably the most dangerous influence of modern times is the bioscope; all the more dangerous because it is a cheap form of amusement. Yet many parents exercise not the least discretion in their choice of films, and permit their children tho very widest latitude. This is but a, concrete example of my meaning when I say that school influence is some" times undermined by laxity of supervision or an indolent acquiescence in every whim at home. If boys are to be good boys, they must bo equipped spiritually for the struggle ahead, and school and home must inculcate and emphasise the same lessons.
