In my round? of the shops yesterday I noticed many beautiful goods displayed in J. Williams and Co.’s. Jewellers, lor instance, the ■ gleaming crystal pieces were most’ enticing and the silverware articles would be a lovely addition to any dinner table. Clocks and many other articles show originality and charm of design.* Acknowledgment. The matron of the Wanganui Orphanage gratefully acknowledges the following gifts: —M. J.
