MOOREA.
BABY AND ISLAND HAVE SAME NAME. Lord and Lady Hastings, who visited Australia during their world tour honeymoon, have gone back to their romantic home in the South Seas, and have been sending their friends tempting pictures of their house in Tahiti. Moorea, the name of the island on which they have th sir home and their bathing-pool, is also the name of their small daughter, who has been an object of tremendous interest to the islanders. In Lord Hastings’ bathing-pool, which has high diving apparatus, are so many rare and lovely Ashes that Mr Robert Gibbings, who was also in Australia recently, is going to write and illustrate a book on them from studies he made a short time ago. Simplicity is the main feature of the house, which has no locks on any of the doors, according to Tahiti custom, and rugs of coarse matting easily j renewed.
