THE LATE MRS JULIUS.

On Monday the death occurred at Christchurch' of Mrs Julius, wife of the Bishop of Christchurch. Her death removes a figure that Christchurch has known, with deep feelings of affection and veneration, for more than a quarter of a century.

Only last month, towards the very end, she came down from the Cashmere Hills to attend a council meeting of the Mothers’ Onion, of which she had been president for very many years. Besides being president of the Mothers’ Union, she was, until very recently, president of the Girls’ Friendly Society, and when the Bible-in-schools League was an active body, she was its indefatigable head. She was also president of the Hospital Lady Visitors’ Association, and a vice-president of the Victoria League. On none of these was her position a sinecure—she was always a hard and an exceptionally able worker. And, although she was so actively concerned with matters of outside importance, her home life was in no way neglected, and she presided at .“Bishopscourt” as the model wife and mother, the gracious hostess, the fountain of all kindness and wisdom, and sweet charity. The late Mrs Julius was formerly Miss Alice Frances Rowlandson, daughter of Colonel Rowlandson, of Bournemouth, Hants, England, and was married in 1872. She and her husband lived in Australia for some time before coming to Christchurch. She leaves five daughters and two sons, the latter being the Rev. Alfred Henry Julius, vicar of Akaroa, and the Rev. John Awdry Julius, vicar of Waimate. The daughters are. Mrs Percy ©worthy (England), Mrs Arthur ©worthy (Timaru), Mrs Hansell (Wellington), Mrs Wilson (wife of the Bishop of Bunbury, West Australia), and Miss Ada Julius, wbo is a trained nurse, and who came out from a little while ago, in order that she might gpve her mother the very best attention that skill and devotion might compass. NEW ZEALANDERS’ WORK AT HOME. Mfc. C. K. Dinneen, daughter of Mrs M. D. Dinneen, of Upland road, Bemuera, Auckland, who left with her brother, Captain 1 D. Dinneen, in February, 1916, took up work for the YAI O.A. canteens at Annsmuir, near Edinburgh. . In company with she relieved four men who volunteered for France, and was later appointed manager to the Y.M.O.A , being the second woman in Great Britain to be placed in this position. Mis s Dinneen was appointed later to organise Winchester, Shrewsbury, Exeter, and Chatham. At the latter place she recruited 1000 Women for the Y.W.C.A. Canteen. The work lay amongst Government clerks, dock workers, and sail-makers. After this she joined the New Zealand War Contingent Association Canteen at Hornchurch, And was afterwards transferred to Codford, whero sho was managing the War Contingent .Canteen. Miss Dinneen then resigned from Codford to proceed to France in November, 1917, and now she writes to sav that she has been appointed Area Administrator for the Y.W.C.A. work among th© TV.A.A.O. in [Northern France. This comprises four huts, three clubs, and eighteen workers, all under her charge.’ The Y.W.C.A. has just raised another big educational club in Boulogne. At the club outside Boulogne 800 W;A.A.O.- girls are in huts, and beyond what the Y.W.C.A. has to offer them they have no recreation. Miss Dinneen visits the huts in her area once a fortnight, and meets new workers and the workers passing through to other areas. The Y.W.C.A. is making plans, for a huge new hut to hold 500 girls, and to bo strongly erected, so that it can be used as a gymnasium. It is also intended to have a cinema twice a week for the girls, a s there is nothing'to interest them. Classes are being commenced amongst them for the study of geography, English, and French history, Spanish, and . Russian languages, during the coming winter. Miss Dinneen writes that there is still one hut closed in the area for want of a worker, and the same in the Calais area. When she wrote, the W.A.A.O. girls in the Army Pay Department had had a, half-day’s holiday for the first time in Franco for their annual sports. Many convalescent New Zealanders from the oamp 8 and hospitals oomeand look the New Zealanders up. A concert company formed from the Y.W.C.A. and called the “Cheero Girls," was to give “The Midsummer Night's Dream” on the lawn in front of the canteen, when Miss Dinneen last wrote, and even the hand-painted programmes wore the work of the girls. In one area Miss Dinneen’ s door was blown in by a bomb dropped by a German raider. Sister J. M. Allan and Miss Agnes B. Allen, of Napier .who have both been nursing in various parts of the war zone for over three rears, are now on duty in England, the former at the Connaught Hospital lAldeirshot, and the latter at Q.A.M.H.. Milbank.

. THE HAIR.

The care of the hair involves the care of the scalp, and in order , to promote a growth, of luxuriant hair of rich appearance and lustre the scalp must receive attention. Failing havr. premature greyness, loss of tone and vitality can generally bo attributed to a scalp that needs stimulating or that is covered to a certain extent with dandruff, which is the primary cause of seborrhoea. Mrs Eollcston s home treatment for the hair has gained the distinction of being one of the best and most reliable ever placed on sale. The preparations are remedies for /the condition of tho scalp, and are specially prepared according to the diagnoses from the microscopical examination of hair combings, a sample of which is sent with order. Cost of preparations for three months' home treatment, with instructions, 16s 6d, postage Is extra. MRS ROLLESTON. 256, Lambton quay. —Advt.
