Seas in New Zealand waters rough, but moderating north of Farewell Spit and Castle Point. Elsewhere smooth to moderate.

It was announced at the Wellington War Relief Association yesterday (states a Press Association telegram) that the authorities of the British War Relief organization had been consulted by Mr L. O. H. Tripp and Colonel Stewart with reference to the possibility of funds being made available, for the assistance of Imperial ex-soldiers in New Zealand, but that there were onlyslight hopes of a grant being made for them.

The attention of Mr E. C. Levvey, S.M., was occupied throughout yesterday in the Magistrate’s Court in heading a claim for damages as the result of the fire on May 6 in the Louvre hatshop in Tay street. The plaintiff was Harold Halligan, a furrier, trading as the Mutual Fur Company (Mr B. W. Hcwat) and he claimed from the Union Assurance Society Ltd. (Mr Eustace Russell) and the Insurance Office of Australia Ltd. (Mr H. J. Macalister) the sums of £B9 12/- and £35 19/- respectively. Plaintiff in his statement of claim said that the former company had insured his stock-in-trade for £1250 and the latter company for £5OO. He alleged that his stock had been damaged by smoke and water to the extent of £125 11/-, as the result of the fire in the adjoining shop, the Louvre, and claimed that amount from the two companies on a proportionate basis.' It was agreed by counsel on both sides that the case was a question of fixing damages. After hearing evidence his Worship awarded the sum of £2 10/- to the plaintiff as damages, with Court costs £1 and solicitor’s fee £1 6/-.

That the phrase “long-limbed colonials” is not without a foundation in fact was shown by Dr Ada Paterson during a lecture to the Auckland School Committees’ Association. Figures taken for groups of children in New Zealand and in Glasgow proved that the New Zealand children had definitely longer limbs than had the corresponding groups, and it was a reasonable inference that the figures for Glasgow were typical of those for many parts of Great Britain. A question as to a power board’s liability for compensation to owners of land for erecting poles and lines across their properties was raised at a meeting of the Waiteinata Electric Power Board. The manager (Mr A. Main) said it was laid down that a board was liable for compensation only if the property was injuriously affected. He considered the value of property was enhanced by electric reticulation in a district. No one had ever made a claim against the Waitemata Board and no compensation had been paid.

Wimbledon’s style of lawn tennis dress appears to have reached New Zealand, for at the Dominion Badminton tournament at the Town Hall in Wellington on Friday night two of the women competitors appeared on the courts 'in “shorts.” This type of sports wear is very popular with women in England and on the Continent, for, in addition to being light and cool, it affords greater leg action in tennis and similar sports. The two competitors attracted as much attention as if they had been men wearing skirts. SCENE IN TEA ROOMS. ATTRACTIVE YOUNG WOMAN’S ANNOYANCE. An unusual but diverting scene was witnessed recently by the gathering of fashionable women who make a certain leading tea-rooms their afternoon rendezvous. An attractive young woman, obviously belonging to the smart set had just indignantly informed the manager that she was very dissatisfied with the quality of the refreshments served in this exclusive cafe. “Why is it,” she demanded, “impossible for me to get a really good cup of tea here? One rather expects the best in a place like this. And goodness knows that would be easy enough for you. If you’d only serve ‘Tiger Tea,’ everyone would be satisfied. You can get it from any grocer and it’s only 2/6 a lb.”—Advt.
