Mr Osmers, Mr Hyde and Dr. Harrop have all been students at College House. Mr Osmers is now at Cuddesdon Theological College, Oxford, and Mr Hyde, who came over with the Boy Scouts, has an appointment in London. ,

A New Zealander by adoption who has brought an interesting and novel occupation to our doors is Miss Jessica Andreae, who brought her Danish loom with her when she came out from England a few years ago. Handweaving is her artistic adventure. The women on New Zealand farms, she thinks, with their long quiet evenings far away from city diversions, should be able to fill in time very profitably with this old-time pursuit, which is at the same time a hobby and a profession. At a recent wool exhibition in Wellington many people stopped to watch the hand-weaving demonstrations of a dark-eyed, very pretty girl, who was quietly turning out anything from scarves and shawls to bedwraps as many-coloured as Joseph’s coat. Miss Andreae finds New Zealand a delightful place, and the New Zealand women both enterprising and quick to learn.
