E, Parry, who returned to Wellington from Australia by the Awatea. “Frequently,” said Mr Parry, “I noticed people walk from shops screwing up, apparently, cash sales dockets, which they carefully deposited in the ’‘Be Tidy’ receptacles.

The date of Ash Wednesday is not the same each year, as il depends on the date of Easter. Faster is comparatively late 1 his year, on April 17th. April 25th is the latest date upon which Easter can possibly fall, and in 1943 it falls on this date. Easter’s earliest possible date is March 22nd, but in no year during the present century does it fall as early as this, although several times occurring later in March. The date for Easter is fixed, for the first Sunday after the full moon following (lie vernal equinox, which, therefore, makes it a moveable least. Although many proposals have been made in recent years with a view to preventing Easter’s dale from wandering so widely over the. calendar, nothing definite has as yet eventuated from the deliberations of the League of Nations on the subject, that body apparently having ils hands lull with other and more important questions than calendar reform.

Joining the Mariposa at Auckland on December 24th, she sailed for Sydney, and on arrival discovered her loss, but as her relatives in New Zealand were all away from home on holiday, she could not cable for more funds. The money represented practically all the liquid cash she had taken, but happily for her she had friends in the Australian city. On February 9th, when the Mariposa was southward-bound between Honolulu and Pago Pago, a room steward, when making up the cabin the women had occupied weeks before, found the money, wrapped in an envelop and wedged in a spring mattress. He immediately reported his And, and on arrival at Auckland his honesty did not pass without suitable recognition.
