A London cablegram says that the “conversion” of women smokers from the nicotine habit is one of the efforts of an organisation formed there. The Non-Smokers’ Society, as it is called, also aims to obtain further legislation concerning the age at which the young may purchase tobacco and against indiscriminate scattering of cigar and cigarette ashes in public rooms and vehicles'. It will, seek to prevent any increase in the number of theatres and music halls permitting smoking. 1 Tlie lengagoment is announced of Laura, third daughter of Mr and Mrs Wilson Mawhinncy, of Ranfurly, Central Otago, to Arthur Douglas, second son of Mrs and the late Mr Samuel Law, “Willow Bank,” Palmerston North.

HEAVY TAXATION TO BE PAID

PARIS, Feb. 2

Her earnings, amounting to £20,000 in America, will be taxed in the sum of £BIOO in France. She has already paid £2500 tax in America.”—Sydney Sun cable.
