Mostly About Women.

Mrs Alison, Mayoress of Devonporfc, is among the visitors now at Te Aroha. Miss Janet Achuroh holds a reoeption on the stage of the Opera House this (Thursday) afternoon. Ix takes a girl about four hours longer to wash the front windows of a house than the back windows. Miss Thomas, who is a barmaid at Eamo, (and a regular daisy the ' boys ' all say) is well conneoted in Auckland society circles. Mrs Edwards, wife of the extra Supreme Court Judge, is now in Auckland with her husband. She is a woman of mark, with a romantic history. Nurse Gistobd has left Auckland Hospital for Gisborne. All the good nurses trained by Miss Crispe are leaving as rapidly as they they can get situations elsewhere. An Auckland lady, who is about to get married, would not put on such mighty airs if she was occasionally reminded of the social position held by her poor old grandmother in Tasmania. Mrs James Smith, sister in-law of the late Major Dean Pitt, has been confined to her room for nearly two months with a badly sprained ankle. She is now making good progress towards recovery. A lady, calling to see the latest scion of the house of Kelly, said that the baby boy had the ' observing ' faculties largely developed. This the fond mother takes to be a delicate way of intimating that the young observer takes after his pa, for the latter is lauded by Poet Sladen for • his truly poetic gift of observation.' H> is understood that Nurse Goulstone, who has been politely sacked by the Hospital Board, has important evidence to give, bearing on the serious oharges preferred against Dr. Collins. Of course, the object in getting rid of h&r was not to discount her evidence as that of an embittered ex nurse; but all the same, people will make nasty insinuations. Madame Marian Burton, the much-admired vocalist now in Auckland, is a married lady and her husband travels with her. It may be a further shook to the 1 chappies ' who are so hopelessly in love with the beautiful singer to learn that she ia now in that condition in which- ladies love to be who love their lords. Madame Burton has resolved, after the present brief concert season is over, to remain in Auckland until after her confinement, which will take place within a few weeks.
