Tlie weekly quadrille which has been conducted by ilessrs Forbes and Sutherland for the past three months, was to haxe closed on Wednesday night last, when there was ail extended programme and some variety added by fancy dress. There was a record attendance and a most enjoyable evening was experienced by all present. The music supplied by Aliss Hancock (piano) and R. Cox (violin) was all that could be desired, yltile the catering, which was carried out by the ladies, was firstclass. At the request of a large number of the patrons it has been decided tu continue the dance for another mouth, which will no doubt be good news to our young folk. DON'T GF.T ALARMED. If your .hildren get whooping cough. Keep up their strength with nourishing food and give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in frequent doses. If you do this the attack will be over in fire or six weeks, instead of running through the winter. We have never known Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to fail to give relief, no matter how sever, the attack of whooping cough has boon. — So!d everywhere.

"It is my opinion that the returned I soldier i> I'alling- unify in the public estimation" said llr P. H. Watts, of 1 Hamilton, at a meeting of the Auckland li-'turncd Soldiers' Association, "and I 1 think one of the reasons for this is that c he is not concerning himself with any- 1 body's interests but his own." The i public, the speaker continued, were l'e- t cognising that the soldiers were re- ; striding their action to themselves, and 1 tor that reason the soldiers were not re- ' reiving the support that they should. ■ I; was time they gave up taking things from the public. (Hear, hear), i IT they did this they made themselves outsiders The speaker then went on to quote from a report of the Anglican Synod, in which it was stated that the r turned soldiers were receiving too f ill a share for existing immorality, a id that they should not be made the s ape-goat for sins that were common t.! civilians.—(Applause). "I do not understand that the way you understand it." he said. "N'o man would h we dared to say outright that innnora'ity had been brought into the country 1 y the returned soldier, "but there arc p.'ople who would say it by inuendo In s ich a way that it is hardly possible to defend it." It was putting the soldiers in a class by themselves, and they must not tolerate it. Referring again to the acceptance o£ gifts from the public, he said they were alienating themselves as long as they did this. "You are in great danger of losing your birthright. The returned soldiers are the vigorous men of this country, and if they are not to govern thic country,' who is ? If you do not take the oportunity now you cannot be quite certain that you will ever get the opportunity again."—(Applause.) _ He them not to get into the habit of r.icepting things from the public, but to assert themselves, and claim the position they had rightly won. America is promised a motor ear made mostly of wood which will come en the market at about £6O a car. PBESEBVING THE EYES.
