The discu&ston/s .on; .the subject of the surplus of women m England have prompted a remarkable letter which appeared in the '‘Daily Graphic," from an ex-Australian. Miss Beatrice Knight, writing from Norfolk, says:—"As the fiancee and sister of two among the Australian dead, I have decided to choose a mate from among our blinded heroes, as the best memorial to our beloved dead. Bet our motto b« ‘Carry on,' and this. suggestion will swallow- up many thousands of us for the cake of 'duty first.' " Worried mistresses will be most interested in 3i young' women who have come out under the Government scheme for meeting the awful dearth of domestic servants, says the Auckland “Star," reporting *he| arrival of the Dorset at that port on Monday. Miss Walters, who came out . in charge, gives them a high character, and says they are splendid workers. Most of them are from Scotland. Ireland contributes several to thei number, and the rest come from England. Among them are a good many who served iu the women's corps during the war, including land girls.

The spread of smoking, remarkably rapid among men, has been even swifter among women. Less than eighty years ago Dickens, who had travelled all over Western Europe and a large part of the United States, and was ae keen an olv server of manners in all classes of society as any man who ever lived, met an American mother and daughter who smoked cigars in public and a hookah in private. "I never was so surprised," he wrote, "so ridiculously taken aback in my life; for in all my experience of ladies* of one kind or another, I never saw a woman—not a basket woman or a gipsy—smoke before." He would have to be a very innocent man who could say that now. Only the other day the son of a late Archbishop of Canterbury was telling' the world how his mother, lacking a cigarette, consoled herself by pulls at his pipe. Mrs Uenaon, indeed, was not habitually a pipe smoker, but she saw no actual conclusive objection to the use of the article. Who knowg what another twenty years will do?

Perhaps one of the most charming customs ever established and rigorously observed in any country is the institution of what is known as "Mothers' Day" in America. The idea consists in eetting aside one particular day in the year for the special remembrance of aU the mothers in America,. whether living or dead. On that day sone and daughters living at home or within reach of home ftre all expected to visit their mothers, each taking some little gift, if only a bunch of flowers. On that day, too, sons and daughters who are far away, wherever they may be, whatever their age, or however many years they may have been absent, make a practice of writing to tneir mothers, perhaps of* sending some loving gift. And on that day the graves of American mothers who live only m the hearts of their dear ones, are strewn with flowers placed there by loving hands, or sent across land and sea from far-distant places. in snort. Mothers' Day" is observed by all alike, from the President at the White House to the rough gold miner in Alaska and the hardened cowboy in the West. It is a custom which ought not only to belong to America, but should be’ observed by the eons and daughters of the world.
