Miss Joyce Amy Chisholm, whose name appeared among the list of winners of senior free places in "The Post" on Friday, is the winner of a Senior National Scholarship, not of a senior free place. The Misses Julie and Gwen ■Wright, of Nelson, who have been visiting in the South, have returned home. Miss M. Bishop, of Christchurch, is 'visiting Wellington, and staying at the Midland Hotel. Dr. and Hrs. Hubert are among the visitors to Dunedin. Mrs. J. E. Eamsay and family, of Wellington, are visiting Dunedin. Miss Esther Marshall, of Marton, is in town and staying with Mrs. 0. Luke.

Among those returning to Wellington from the South are Mr: and Mrs. Robert Parker, Dr. and Mrs. Harcourt Arther, and Dr. and Mrs. Harty and family. When such a thoroughly interesting evening is passed as that which is given to play-goers in "The Masquerader," it seems a little like "painting the lily" to talk about the frocking. But it was so particularly charming and artistic that it was well worth a mention. Miss Eileen Sparkes wears a succession of delightful costumes, the first being of primrose printed ninon, the pattern being in deeper shades of yellow to brown, the skirt being finished with a full ruching of georgette in the paler shade. A smart cinnamon brown coat and satin hat to match) with a feather mount, completed the toilette. The next frock was of vieux rose mariette, with panels and deep hem adorned with ruched ribbon to match, the corsage being trimmed with flat roses of the same. The dainty hat worn was of the same materials and ; colour. A model tea-gown was worn in the next scene, this, fashioned of white georgette, patterned generously in cerise and purple roses, and draped over an under-dress of cerise satin. Another delightful frock is of silver brocaded tissue, with narrow border of black fur, the small panel train falling from a largo cabochon of black and white at one side, and a large ostrich feather fan gave the touch of softness which meant perfection. Perhaps the most charming gown of all is worn in the last act, when Miss Sparkes appears iii an artistic shade of petunia miroir velvet, the hand-painted design being in tones of brown and gold. Miss Jean Athol wore first a gown of chocolate brown tulle, embroidered in gold sequins, with a touch here and there of Vivid red and green, the corsage being finished with long draperies of gold tissue; a becoming brown and gold head dresj*is also worn, and the shaded brown ostrich fan is a dainty finish. Another successful frock worn by the same lady was of hyacinth-blue georgette, a band of ivory guipure centring the front, and the floating panels bordered with fur to match. The hat was of blue, close-fitting, and finished with a ruched mauve and cerise bow .it the top. Miss Cecil Haines, whose appearance, of course, interested everybody, was the little Cockney maid, in costume appropriate, but at the end of the play made her appearance with her arms full of bouquets of flowers, and expressed her happiness at coming to her home town in such excellent company, and thanked all for her own cordial 3hare in the welcome given most hewtily by the large audience. A most interesting account Is given in the "Southern Cross Log" of a visit of the Melanesian Mission steamer to new waters, as recently a call was made at Kabaul, New Britain, an island off the- coast of New Guinea. "The general scenery," says the writer, "is much like that of the Solomon Islands, but the harbour is unsurpassed by any in the British Protectorate. Completely landlocked, it lies almost circular, surrounded by hills, one is able to gather something hidden by beautiful.trees. From the verandah of Government House, which is perched on tho top of, a range of Mils, one is bale to gather something of tho unusual size of the place, with 'its European, Chinese, and Malay quarters. It is well laid out with roads sheltered by avenues of fine trees. Motor-cars, of which there are said to be no fewer than 250 in the place, were much in evidence." Tho Administrator, General Wisdom, and his wife invited some of the Rarty to stay with them, and were surprised to find that there wero two bishops onboard—Bishop Mainwaring.and the Assistant-Bishop Molyneux. They visited the Mission of the Sacred Heart, which is, according to the writer, just the model of what a mission should be. Some four hundred natives and Europeans are provided for every day. Examples of their work were shown, and they visited the wonderful pro-Cathedral, made, of wood and covered with iron painted to look like stone; the work of the Sisters and pupils; the carpenters' shops, and, later, a little entertainment of songs and recitations was given, and a little dance-comedy. A visit was paid to Colonel Horc, the district magistrate, and in the evening they were entertained by Mr. Greenwood, -the manager of Burns:, Vhilp, and Company; and Mrs. Greenwood. On Sunday a service and celebration was llolil on the Southern C!ross, and an adult eoiiiirruert. On Mbnilay visits wore paid to a Chiiii'ho School, conducted by Sisters of tho Sacroil Heart, to the Government school and a, small one for some European children. The visitors wore told that the sum of £56,000 had been spent on medical work for tho natives alone, and it was found that medical, industrial, anthropological, and agricultural work is all being carried on by Hie Government with a view to ameliorating the condition of the native and improving his country. ■ Bishop Mainwnrhig, who writes the account of the journey, concludes with a. hearty tribute to the Austra|ilii!
