Miss Sheila Hudson, England, who was the guest of Mrs P. A. Elworthy, Gordon’s Valley, left yesterday to spend a few days with Mrs John Hodgkins, Four Peaks. Mr and Mrs G.

Just now London's interesting visitors include the Begum Sahiba of Khaipur and her son, who is to take up the study of scientific agriculture in this country. In her native country this impressive little lady dwells in strict seclusion. She never appears unveiled in public, and always attended by a suite of 30 officers. Here in London she goes unveiled, and her sole attendant is a maid-servant. She is very gracious in her views about London and Londoners, attributing to the latter "charming manners” that are not always in evidence to Londoners themselves. With most Oriental visitors, what most impresses the Begum is our street traffic, the never-ending whirl and rush of which she finds most fascinating. But it seems a pity these visitors from distant lands should concentrate on London. They might get another and better impression from rural England.

Celebrated Singers.

A most appreciative audience awaited Mr John Brownlee, the celebrated baritone, and members of his concert party, when they made their appearance at the Theatre Royal on Monday night. Miss Rita Miller, the Australian soprano, who, like, Mr Brownlee, was born in Victoria, was a picturesque figure in her early Victorian frock of apricot georgette. The hooped skirt was composed of plain georgette with panniers of figured georgette in shades of mauve and apricot, and the tightfitting bodice was trimmed in front with small brilliant ornaments. She wore wristlets of black satin ribbon tied with tiny bows and carried a small black fan.

Among those present were—Mr and Mrs C. R. Orr-Walker, Mr and Mrs W. D. Campbell, Mr and Mrs Parsons (Melbourne), Mr and Mrs P. A. Elworthy, Miss Ann Elworthy, Miss Sheila Hudson (England), Mr and Mrs A. C. Fahey, Dr. and Mrs F. F. A. Ulrich, Mr and Mrs G. A. Martin, Mr and Mrs E. J. Mirams, Mr and Mrs D. S.
