HERE AND THERE

A Memorial Tablet. The memory of a benefactor of the Bannerdale Home was honoured on Monday afternoon in..-. Christ'church, when a tablet commemorative of Mrs. A. E. G. Khodes, one of the home's most constant and loyal supporters, was unveiled, by the chairman of the management committee, Mr. A. C; Maxwell (states the "Press")* Tha "tablet, which was erected at the wish of the disabled soldiers /who are. patients in the home, is fixed to the wall of one of the verandah wards. The School Journal. Heading lessons, at least, should not be too great a trial after a seven weeks' holiday with such an attractively illustrated store of bright poems, stories, and instructive pieces as are contained in the school journals for February. There are well-told tales introducing Nature and animal studies and some excellent modern verse for senior pupils, while the juniors are well:catered for with, amusing verse, charmingly illus-; tratea, simple animal stories, and tales of other lands. Talented Musicians. ■ Miss Merle Miller and Mr. Malcolm Miller intend leaving Christehurch on 17th March, for London, where they will continue their musical studies (states the "Press"). This gifted sister and brother, are very popular in Christchurch where, in addition to appearing on the concert platform,- at musical societies' concert, and social gatherings, they have been most generous" in singing at gatherings arranged in the interests of charitable: and philanthropic causes. Miss Miller' gained, her vocal diploma at the Sydney Gonservatorium of Music, where she studied for three years under Mr. Koland Foster. Previously she had gained her L.A.B. degree for pianoforte playing, and for the last four years she has been, official accompanist for station 3TA. Mr. Malcolm Miller has studied singing under Mr. Hubert Carter, Christchurch. . Gloves to be Noticed! Gloves have for many years been designed to serve only a practical purpose, Temarks an English writer. They protected one's hands and kept them warm when necessary. They were simple in design if they were to be in the best of taste, and were chosen to harmonise with an. ensemble, but they possessed no individuality -in themselves. It was their duty to be Unobtrusive. For evening wear they disappeared entirely except for the most formal wear. They were as modest as a, woodland violet. But this season what a change has com© about! Gloves have beeonie as emancipated as their wearers. They demand to be noticed, and made much of, and they are as full of individuality as a woman is of personality. An evening gown must have its accompanying. . gloves which, in most cases, reveal .rather than conceal the hands, arms, and jewels of their wearers. "Even-those fashioned of kid are in many instances slit and laced. Only the new velvet gloves for evening wear.reveal nothing but their own rich colour and their glory, of light and sheen.
