A farewell meeting to Mias $W (Siitsr Lottie) who is proceeding to Poona (India) to undertake million work there ia oonneotion with the Poona and Indian Village Minion, and has been undergoing a ooune of preparation for her work at the Training Home conducted by Mrs Driver, wai held in the Y.M.C.A. Eooina, Dunedin. Mien Fear is the sixth lady student to go from this home to work in the foreign mission field. Of the otheri, ono has been oairied off by fever at Poona, one io itill working there, another ii in Eastern Bengal, and two are in China, The neoesßity for the new Council Chamber! which are to be ereoted in West Harbour Borough, was strikingly emphasised at the latest meeting of the oouncil (iayi the Otajo Daily Times). At present the oounoil meets in a room over whioh is the Public Hall. As councillors were deep in tlie mazaa of finance, a joyful strain from the piano above disturbed their meditations, and

presently the whole building was vibrating with the rhythmic motion of dancing foot. As one dance succeeded another overhead the effeot was oomical. The inspector's report was read to waltz time; the discussion regarding ft pnblio morgue was enlivened by a msurka obbligato. Council meetings, as a rule, are characterised by anything but brightness, but the innovation at Weit Harbour was voted a failure. According to Miss May Beatty, who was interviewed in Auckland, her sister Maud "i< having a lovely time. She had been to Paris, and heard' Fauat' | at the Opera House, and ia now in London. Bba has three offers to play prinoipal boy in pantomime at Christmas, and is considering whiob. to accept. Panzi, of Kegent-Btreet, wanted to train her for grand opera. Herr Slapoffßki was struok with her voice when she wsb in Australia, and wanted her to stay. She has met a lot of New Zealand friends in London, iuoluding Mrs Howie and Albert Whelan. Curiously enough she wrote to me when we were rehearsing ' The Thirty Thieves,' and said she had seen ' A Chinese Honeymoon,' and that the part of Fi-Fi ought to suit me."

The varions tableaux to be given in the Gaiety Theatre on Wednesday evening, 13 in number, will be performed by 21 ladies, who will group themselves into living pictures illustrating different scenes in the life and death of the Christian martyr Dorothea. A wellworded description of eaoh tableau will be given before it is shown. The effect of the oarefully-studied groupings will be enhanced considerably by. oolored limelight effects. The performers will be dressed in the costumes of the time. It was said of a former produotion that it was difficult to realise that the marble Btatuea mounted on pedestals surrounding the different eoenes were not really what they appeared to be, so exoellent was the pose. Musioal items appropriate to the different scene i will be

given in the intervals between the tableaux by the Cathedral ohoir, conducted by Mr W. T. Sharp, and this should materially add to the oharm of the pef ormanca. A «ooial and dsnoe took place on Friday night, at the Oddfellows' Hall, Taradale. for the purpose of welcoming home Lieutenant E. Laaoellei. The gathering, which was arranged by ft few personal friendß, was a decided aucoesi in every way. The hall was beautifully decorated, and the supper waa excellent. Mr E. Gonlding (chairman) in giving a hearty weloome home to Lieutenant Lascelles, gave a short history

I of the war in South Africa, and complimented the lieutenant on having attained such a high poiition in the Imperial army. He alio spoke of the ood work dono by Captain 3. G. Hughes and Sergeant Miller (who were also guests at the social), and the New Zaalanders in general. Lieutenant Laeoellos, in reply,briefly stated that New Zealandera had done their duty in South Africa when oalled upon, and no doubt oould be relied upon to do no again, Dancing was kept np until well pa«t midnight. Praiee is due to Mesdames Niven and Morrison for the way the deooration»,

I supper, and general arrangementa were oarried out. Miss Jesßie Maoiay, in an article on "The Barmaid Question," written^ for the Canterbury Women's Association, Bays:—" I cannot but take shame on myself for one that we have let nine years of oitizemhip go by without open and npeoial effort to destroy one orying evil of the day. I mean the employment of women in hotel bars. Happily j this Beeming negligence has not in the main been caused by a callous or super-

ficial view of the queition, bat by the faot that most good women have been conosntrating their rnind« on driving the liquor trade out of the country altogether. . . . This is no fad, no looal agitation, but a national question, and we have every right to aßk Parliament to consider it as such. For ourselves, our line of duty 19 dear. We must express our opinions in no uncertain termi. "Wo must demand the abolition of this employment j with, of oourse, a fair term of notioe to thoie already engaged. We must see that every candidate at the approaching election is made to declare his view* on this point. Any candidate who hesii tates to pled/je himself on so obvious a nutter of reform, plainly deolares himI self unlit to represent us in Parliament." The services held in the Wesleyan

Methodist Church yesterday, to mark the thirtieth anuiTCriary of the Sunday school, were of a particularly bright and attractive oharaotor, and were very largely attended, the ohuroh being crowded to excess at the evening service. It is many years sinoe snob large congregations have gathered in this ohuroh. The Bev. H. E. Dawnbury, of Wanganui. preaohei at all the servioei, taking for hie test in the evening Proverbs viii, 86," He that sinnetb. against me rnineth his own soul," from which he delivered a very powerful disoourse. The musical portion w»b uncommonly I

good, a onpable orchestra assisting, under Mr W. L. Fume's oondaotorship. The orchestra oomprised: First violins, Messrs C. Prima and Harford j seoond violins, Messrs F/unoke and Sweetapplo i flute, Mr S. Prime j clarionet, Mr Williams ; oornet. Mr H. Tankard; euphonium, Mr F. Tankard; 'cello, Mr J. Madigan; bass, Mr S. btorkey. Mrs Prime presided at the organ. The orchestral pieces given daring the services were "Coronation March " (Watson), "Largo" (Handel), and "Maroh in Soipio " (Handel). The hymns and anthems were apeoially soleoted, including a new "Te Daum " (Simper), oung by an adalt choir, thirty strong, in adition to over 100 juvenile voioes. The offertories were unusually large at all the eervicos. Yesterday'a musical programme will be repeated next Sunday morning and evening.
