the wetting power of water, which means better penetration of the cleansing material. Also, detergents have a great affinity for grease and oil, and they will remove it very efficiently from the interior. Make up a froth of detergent and water as explained earlier. You can increase the proportion of detergent to water as you are dealing with a tougher material this time. Scrub the foam into the matting, rinse it with clear warm water, and blot it as dry as you can with old towels or clean dusters. This is necessary, because excessive dampness can make the colours run in a flax matting. If at all possible, dry the matting out of doors in a good breeze. It can lie flat on the ground or be slung over two clothes lines. But it is essential to bring it in before it is absolutely dry, or you will not get it to lie flat again. If it must dry indoors, have the windows open and the room well heated, and put newspapers under the matting to absorb the moisture.

A new chapel at St. Joseph's Maori Girl's School, Greenmeadows, was opened and blessed last July by the Roman Catholic Archbishop of New Zealand, Archbishop McKeefry. The ceremony and subsequent concert was attended by a large and representative gathering of pakehas, as well as Maoris from many parts of New Zealand. The Prime Minister and Minister of Maori Affairs, the Rt. Hon. Walter Nash, was among the official guests. The chapel which cost over £16,000 is claimed to be one of the most modern and attractive of its kind in New Zealand. * * * At the request of the Director of Education. Dr C. E. Beeby, pupils of Northland College are sending samples of their Maori arts and crafts work for exhibition at the New Zealand Embassy at Washington. Dr Beeby said he was so much impressed by work sent from the college to a special display last April at an exhibition in the United States that he thought it would be a good idea to have a permanent display. * * * Three Maori portraits by Lindauer will be reproduced on Christmas cards to be issued this year by the Auckland Art Gallery. Cards will be on sale at the Gallery.
