Home, and Mrs Stuart Russell (secretary). As Friday is the day on which many country people visit the rooms, a practical insight was gained as to the work done by the society in New Plymouth. About fifteen mothers and babies were there, and Lady Jellicoe spent some time at the rooms. Later, Her Excellency opened the Clarke Memorial Hostel, being first taken through the building. After the opening ceremony Lady Jellicoe was entertained to afternoon tea, meeting members' of the committee and advisory board.

The Johnsonville Association Football Club held their annual dance in Moore Bros.’ Hall, Johnsonville, last week. Members of the Aotea Ladies’ Soocer Club were the guests of the village club at the dance. During the evening a strong appeal was made by one of the officials of the Johnsonville Club, on behalf of the guests, to form a ladies’ soccer football team in the district. The speaker was attentively listened to, and the appeal met with the approval of a portion of the young ladies present. The president of the Johnsonville Club, Mr Croft, near the conclusion of the evening’s enjoyment, thanked all those, especially the ladies, who worked so hard to make the evening an enjoyable one. * From the annua] report of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals: Your committee sends out literature suitable for children on “Kindness to Animals” to the various branches, and we are'assured that this is eagerly looked forward to by the children. We have no doubt that these lessons will bear fruit, not only at the present, but also' in tne years to come, as the proper and humane treatment of animals will continue to dwell in the minds of the young people who are members of the Junior League. By the kindness of a subscriber we are enabled to offer prizes annually for the best essays on “Kindness to Animals,” to be competed for by pupils of schools in the Wellington Education District. ST.

ENGLAND’S SECOND WOMAN MIP. A correspondent writes me from London:—“The great excitement today is the election of Mrs Wintringham at Louth. At the offices of the National Union of Societies for Equal Citizenship they have banners over the balcony to celebrate the event. They have had a flying column of about twenty-five members * electioneering up there, and the women Liberals have been busy. I’m told it was a delightful election —such good feeling, and everyone so interested. Mrs Wintringham ie said to be rather older tfiau Lady Astor, but younglooking, motherly and gracious, and personally very much liked in the constituency. I don’t suppose anyone will be more delighted at the result than Lady Astor.” Mian May Sinolair, who has been suggesting organised ©migration as a partial solution of the ‘‘surplus women” problem, is one of the most remarkable of our women novelists, says an English paper. She has never attempted to write a “best seller,” and her output is not prolific, but the publication of any new book of liea-s is always a literary event. Of late, she has turned from fiction- to philosophy. The patients, of the A block of -the Trentham Military Hospital were entertained to a musical evening by the “Cheer-oh” girls, under the auspices of the Y.M.C.A.- there.
