l' Miss Daisy Keiha the Gisborne girl | i who has been winning dramatic laurels in Australia, is hack in New Zealand for a spell. She has been ' leading lady with a poptdar dramatic company, hut has been playing too | strenuously, and is home for a rest, i She is ar present at her home in Gisborne. Miss Keiha is a. niece of Sir | James Carrol, and a member of a well‘kiiowit Povcty Buy family. Blonde wo.nien are ineligible to serve on juries is the dictum of Judge William Morris, of the Frist District Municipal Court of the Bronx district, one of the boroughs of New York City ’ While the Court officials were busy in the lobbies collecting the necessary number of jury-women for a mixed • ju.y, the Judge leaned over his desk - and said to the Clerk of the Court: “There will be no blondes on this jury; blondes are too iiekle. “ Mrs Wilfred Sheridan is a sculpticss whose experience is unique for she went into Russia at a time when it was not e.xactly the place to select for a pleasure jaunt, and executed commissions for busts of Lenxin and Trotsky, two, at any rate, of the most talked-of-“ models ’ ’ of the moment even if they are not the handsomest. Mrs Sheridan is now loc-turii-ig on her - i ' erica. She is a cousin of Mr Winston Churchill, Secretary of State for the Colonics. — A Berlin cable states that:—The Court accepted the plea of Prince Ki tel Friedrich that he wanted to protect his wife from penury, and convicted him of a technical breach of the lew, and lined him 5000 marks. A previous message said Prince Eitle ; Friedrich, second son of the cx-Kaiser was to be tried on May 18th for attempting t > smuggle 337,000 marks worth (if valuables out of Germany through the banking house of Grusser Piiilipsolm. The Prince did not deny th' facts. 1 ut pleaded self-protection as an anxious father morally bound to provide for the existence of his family. During the war the Hen. A. T. Ngata organised a troupe ( / Maori entertainers and visited most of the North •Island. They raised some £15,000 for war comforts, and this rnainly from the Maori-'. A feature of the entertainments were the itcifis composed 1 y Mr N:;a- a himself. The most popular of these was a song with haka, “E! Pari ra. “ This was performed by the girls of To Waipounr.mu at the opening of their new college at Christchurch last week. akedness has had its day. if the A' l , hde House is any criterion, 7 ’ is the ! verdict of a woman journalist, quoted by the Cc.itral News correspondent - at New York. “Mrs Harding, .'lie i P.’-esident’s wife, 77 says the writer, I “is as sartorially eon venation as her predecessor, Mrs Woodrow V/ilsor, and is a nifty little figure in a black satin frock embroidered in steel beads. She, too goes in for the conventional small hat. Her new “glad rags 77 have all been woven and constructed in the good old U.S.A. The little lady is never seen without her eyeglasses Both Airs Harding and Airs AVoodrow Wilson wear their skirts quite reaching to their ankles. Airs Harding’s evening bodices reveal the modest cut so long eschewed by the fashionable female who has been going to balls arrayed as though just ready to sten into her bath. Nor are Airs Harding’s evening gowns ever innocent of slecv cs or some soi oi subst itut ing draperies. 7 7 Miss Genevieve Ward has just celebrated her 84th birthday and the King has marked the occasion by conferring on her the Order of a Dame Commander of the British Empire. 4 ‘Our modern women,’’ she said to a reporter, will never be long-lived or really young-spirited. How can they be? They persistently abuse the body designed by the Almighty by wearing scarcely any clothes and walking in high-heeled shoes. AVomen to-day have little modesty and few manners. I tell them so when I meet them. I heard myself in a London restaurant the other day the neatest rebuke imaginable to an up-to-date girl. She was sitting, half-dressed, dinning with an elderly man, her uncle. Dessert was on the table, and he said, ‘I should like you to take an apple.’ if I don’t want one? 7 asked the girl. ‘ Because, 7 the uncle answered, ‘Eve did not know she was immodest until she had eaten an apple. That is how I feel towards women todav. ’’
