Friends and supporters of St. Matthew's Collegiate School are invited to forward contributions of flowers, fruit, vegetables, cakes, etc., for the garde it party that is bei tie; held in Mr IT P. Hugo's grounds, Essex street, on Saturday next to provide funds for furnishing the new school. That Her Majesty the Queen has kindly recollection of her tour round the world when Duchess of Cosnwail, was demonstrated when the Bishops at Lambeth Conference were invited to a garden party at Buckingham Palace. The Queen asked to have all the oversea Bishops presented to her. This was related by Bishop Averill at a welcome social to him in Auckland. The new mistress of White Mouse, Mrs W. G. Harding, is a woman of ability. Almost from babyhood she knew all about business, and vvonlcl sil for hours at her' father's iffice fascinated by the activities of ';ho bank and her father's dealings with the bank's clients. She dovclop>d an unusual business mind, ;ind travelled with her father everywhere. As she grew up into womanhood her family became ambitious for their only girl, find the attraction which developed between the girl and the ambitious young newspaper man, Warren 0 Hardin;;, was discouraged in every possible way. When young Harding broke down under stress of work, and had lo go away for a while, Miss Kling went openly to the newspaper office every clay to "look after things" in his absence, and after his return the engagement was announced. They married against the wishes of her parents, and the girl was cut off with the. proverbial shilling. Tlie Wat-dings began life together in a very Kiuajl way, in an unfashionable part of their home town. The new marriage law passed by the Parliament of Sweden is characterised in some quarters as the most progressive in the world. Its leading principle is "to make the positions of husband and wife equal; their rights and duties mutual in every respect, and to make them hoili responsible for home and family." T'ihW this new \ct the guardianship of the husband \s totally abolished. A wife may, like '■er husband, choose her own domicile, nul is entitled lo take her working utensils and part nf the furniture. She •nav practise any trade or profession without her husband's consent, and '■• as all liberty of contract even with her husband.' The parents are made oinfc guardians of their children, the Mily instance where different rights >re accorded being that where a child •possesses a fortune of its own. In Mil's case the father is legal trustee. Regulations for divorce are enunciated : it the law as follows .--"If both want to dissolve their marriage, they have only to send in to the proper authority m application for separation, which ■'s then granted for one year without my further investigation. When the v-ear is out each of the parties may urge full divorce, and is not obliged to give any grounds for bis or her demand. Divorce is then immediately granted. When marriage is dissolved through divorce, all property in which is vested a martial right is equally divided between the parties. The Court decides which of the parents shall take care of the children."
