WINTER ECZEMA.

WRISTS COVERED WITH ITCHING, BURNING DISEASE—ZAM-BUK SOOTHED, COOLED AND CURED HER SKIN.

Miss May Wood, of Queen’s Drive, Island Bay, Wellington, N.Z., says: —“For many months I suffered acutely from that’ distressing complaint, eczema. This terrible disease attacked my wrists and very soon they were in a very bad state. During either damp or cold weather the pain and irritation were greatly intensified, and at times 1 suffered awful agony. The inconvenience was also very great, as 1 was unable to use my hands as I should have liked on account of the terrible pain caused by this nasty, disease. A good many remedies did I try, without obtaining any relief whatever.

"I was strongly recommended to use Zam-Buk, so I purchased a supply. I found Zam-Buk both soothing and healing. and this excellent balm had a very cooling effect on the diseased area. After 1 had been using Zam-Buk only a short time the itching ceased, and soon the eczema completely disappeared and my wrists were quite free from disease. It is some months since I was cured by, Zam-Buk, and I am glad to say there has been no return of the complaint.” The wonderful healing powers of ZamBuk make it an ideal remedy for eczema, ringworm, poisoned wounds, festering sores, ulcers, chapped hands, chilblains, cold sores, piles, and heals cuts, burns, bruises, scalds and scratches. Sold by all chemists and stores at 1/6 and 3/6 per pot.

I expected to see after Ellerslie and Flemington. • Thia is accounted for by the fact that there is no charge to go on the course; but such places as Tattenhaiu Corner seemed to him very dangerous, especially with the large field that ran in the Derby. The starting I did not think was so good as it is with us, but they were fairly up to time, except in the Derby race, which was a-quarter of an hour late. But one or two fractious horses would account for the delays. The crowd seemed to be immensely enthusiastic, especially at the arrival of the King and Queen, and the finish of the Derby was a spectacle which, once seen, was never to Jje forgotten. We were continually meeting New Zealanders and old friends at different places. After an absence of nearly 40 years from London one cannot but be struck with the immense strides that it has made, and the enormous traffic must strike every newcomer. I have travelled largely over the Continent and seen most of the famous sights it has to offer, but 1 Still hold that there are within our own Dominion better sightsand scenes than any I have seen in my travels. But the connections with New Zealand must be made more rapid and up-to-date. The trip ought with good boats to be made easily inside a month, and I am sure than then an enormous stream of tourists would at once set in.” Mr. Kidd anticipates being here seven or eight months. He hopes to visit a number of centres ot interest in this country, and will possibly make a trip to Norway and Switzerland. Both he and his wife are in excellent health, and thoroughly enjoying their travels. Mrs. Alfred Nathan, of Auckland, and her two daughters were among the debutantes at the Court held last Thursday. Mrs Nathan was presented by Lady Katherine Coke, and wore white satin embossed in gold over an embroidered diamante petticoat, the bodice being draped with antique Brussels lace, and trimmed with a garniture of diamante. The train of Rose du Barri satin was lined with gold tissue. Miss Nathan, presented by her mother, wore white satin, richly embroidered in pearls. The train, which was attached to the shoulders, was trimmed with white roses and green foliage. Miss Gladys Nathan, presented by her mother, wore lace and ninon over white satin. The train, which was transparent, was trimmed with Carrickmacross lace and silver rose embroidery. Lady Russell (Hawke’s Bay) has been staying with her daughter, Lady Brice, at Old Park House, Radburne, in Derbyshire, and returned on Monday of this week. She and Sir William were Lady iStout’s guests at dinner at the Lyceum Club on Monday night. On Tuesday Sir William, Lady and. Miss Russell attended an “At Home” given by Mrs. G. Rhodes, of Timaru, and Mrs Angell Scott. At this Lady Russell wore black lace trimmed with Honiton lace; and Miss •Russell grey and silver. At the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk s reception Lady Russell wore black satin trimmed with black jet. Dr. J. M. Bell, formerly director of the Geological Survey of New Zealand, with his wTfe and Mr'. Colin Fraser, recently of the Government mining geological staff, arrived in England together a few days ago. On the way Home Mr. Fraser spent some time in Australia visiting •Broken Hill and the mining centres in Western Australia. After a brief holiday in the Old Country Dr. Bell and Mr. Fraser will, it is understood, proceed to Canada. Mr. Cunningham Bridgeman, who for sonic time past has been cndea.yot.iling to get Mr. Alfred Hill's opera “A Moorish Maid” produced in London, received this week from New Zealand the score of Mr. Hill’s “Maori Symphony." He has submitted it to Dr. Cowan, and that wellknown musician is delighted with it, and intends placing it on the programme of the New Zealand Empire Concert at the Crystal Palace. Mr. F. J. Povey, of Auckland, who arrived by the Ruahine a week or two ago, is visiting the Old Country on a pleasure trip, the principal object being to see his father and mother, who are ■residing atr Ealing, London AV. Mr. Povey "expects to have about three months in this country. Mr. C. Jenkins, of Auckland, who arrived by the Ruahine on May 17, is on a pleasure trip to England. He has been visiting Portsmouth and London, and intends going, after the Coronation, to Paris, and then to Ireland, leaving for borne, via Australia, some time in September. Mr. and Mrs. F; E. Cory, of lAuckland, arrived in Txmdon this week, via Australia and Hie Cape. They are on a

pleasure ‘trip, Mr. Cory having received six months’ leave of absence from the “Auckland Star.”

Madame Betty Brooke, of Christchurch, sang at the “Vente de Charite” Jubilee, held at the Kensington Town Hall, and was received with great enthusiasm. The affair was opened by the Countess Clanearty. Madame Brooke sang at the Cheyne Children’s Hospital recently, and on June I at a matinee concert at 33, Cavendish-square.

Mr. A. J. Entrican, of the Auckland City Council and Auckland Harbour Board, with Mrs. Entrican, arrived here last Saturday by the Orient liner Orvieto, which brought 1000 passengers this trip—the record for the season on this route, I understand. They leave London to-morrow for Belfast, where they will spend a week and attend the General Assembly of the Irish Church, returning via Liverpool to London for the Coronation. Later they go to Scotland, probably in 'August, then back to Ireland to visit Londonderry, Mr. Entrican’s native district. A tour on the Continent and shorter visits to the Channel Islands and Holland are also contemplated, and be made in the Osterley, leaving London the return journey to New Zealand will on October 27 th. Mr. Louis M. Nathan, of Auckland, arrived in London recently, having travelled Home by way of Vancouver. Chicago, and New York. His overland journey he found highly interesting and most enjoyable. After the Coronation Mr. Nathan intends to make a trip to Norway and Sweden, and will spend a few weeks in other parts of the Continent. Business and pleasure will probably detain him in these latitudes till winter is upon us. Mr. Paul Eastham, of Auckland, who arrived in London by the Orvieto last Saturday, has spent a busy week sightseeing in the metropolis. For the next few weeks he will be looking up relations and friends in Yorkshire, and in touring the Lake District. Julj’ will be spent chiefly in London, after which Mr. Eastham proposes to spend some time in Scotland and indulge in a little golfing on some of the famous old courses. Mr. Geo. G. Blott, of Auckland, who is now holiday-making in the Old Country, has been spending a delightful time since his arrival by the Ruahine in midMay, visiting friends in the South and West of England. He proposes to spend a few days in Paris prior to the Coronation, for which he returns to London. Beyond that period his plaits are unsettled.

Mr. Leopold Lenet. of Auckland, who is a member of the New Zealand Coronation Contingent, expects to remain in the Old Country for practically a year. After the Coronation he will commence a tour of the United Kingdom, but has at present no definite itinerary mapped out. Mr. J. Buchanan, of Auckland, who is accompanied by his wife, arrived in London last week-end. Whilst in these parts lie purposes combining business with pleasure. London will claim his attention till the Coronation is a thing of the past, and then he and Mrs. Buchanan •will indulge in a lengthy motor tour through the United Kingdom and Ireland. Mr. Geo. Roberts, of Auckland, who came Home by the Ruahine recently, is now touring the seaside resorts and “beauty spots” of the South of England. He will return to London for Coronation week, and will go hence to the Isle of Man for the motor-eyele races, to be held at the end of June. July will be spent touring in France, but beyond that month Mr. Roberts’ movements are uncertain. Mrs. S. and Miss McLaughlin, of Auckland, who were also Ruahine passengers, are remaining in London till the end of the month, after which they propose to visit relatives in various parts of Ireland and Scotland. Their plans for the balance of their holiday at Home are at present unformed. Recent callers at the High Commissioner's Office:— J. A. Bell (Blenheim), H. L. Fitchett (Wellington).
