Brown and Mrs C'yril Brown (Wellington), who have been visiting Mt. Cook and Timaru, arrived back in Christchurch yesterday.

Miller (Melbourne), who spent some time in Christchurch while touring the South Island, luivc left for Australia. Miss Florence Scapini has left Christchurch for America, wh?re she will pursue her violin studies under her former teacher, who went to America from London at the commencement of the war. The engagement is announced of Miss Edith Eileen Stanley, of Hastings, to Mr William Daniel O'Leary, o'l' Waipukurau. Among the exhibitors at the Taranaki Show on Wednesday were two young ladies who went about their work in a most businesslike way. They handled their big ''black and whites" with a confidence that won the admiration of spectators around the ring. They were attired similarly to the ladies engaged in farm work at Home. Knee-breeches and loggings with a smart smock and cap with a. largo peak. Quite an amusing story_ (says a writer in the "Daily News and Leader") is told in a isundav paper of two nameless young hussies at Rosenberg (West Prussia), who advertised in "the local paper that they were "bored," and desired to make the acquaintance of two "young, educated gentlemen of jolly, free, aud easy temperament" to take them to parties and winter sports. The next issue contained a reply, signed by the police, "recommending" them to "follow the example set them by thousands of English girls, who now havo no cause to whine about boredom," and enter a munitions factory. The notice concluded: "Unless the two girls referred to adopt this course within a .veek from to-day, the police authorities will enter their homes, and, if need be, drive them to work." The compliment to the energy of English girls is so flattering that one cannot forbear returning it to the German police. I am sure our policemen would never have thought of their method of dealing with this particular problem. Mrs H. W. Piper, of Rugby street, Christchurch, and late of Duvauchelle, has been on a visit to Akaroa, and has been the guest of Mrs E. E. LeLicvre, Akaroa.
