"Perhaps a lady teache: has to rido three or four miics in th< wet, and when she roachcs her schoo there is no place for her to change liei skirt and stockings but behind th< door or the stool. Every school, n< matter how Bmall, should have special room for the use of the teacher nnd a room, moreover, with a firoplae< in it." A Canterbury delegate re marked that in more than one eiti school still in uso thero was not even f cupboard large enough for the teachei to chango her stockings.

Subsequently she marriec a blacksmith, and used to take hei turn at the heavy hammer. A different kind of '"striker" to the modern union ist. Now she lives sumptuously anc happily on her old age pension. TOUR COMPLEXION. The coniiiifr of warm weather is often trrlni to dclicftto skins.

NEW YF.AB > F.VE AT PEEI' FOIIFST.

Peel Forest through the (I, . ,:s |"V and New Year season ha.s again crowded with visitors- Board .rehouses, bungalows, and shack.-, in bush, tents in serludwl sylvan >po - • ■ all filled. And the holiday marble sscd -with glorious r 41 . 0, L ■ aro having a truly dclighttul of it (ivritcs n The good feeling engendered l>y the sentiment of the season, ana strengthened by the mutual regard 1IS " ing from tlie chanco acf|uaintanceslups of a number of visitors sojourning together for a while, was responsible, in tho case, at least, of thoso at the '•"Kapai" accommodation house, for an uncommonly jolly evening on the las night of the Old Year. Tho ladies ot the party were the promoters 01 the function. This. 110 doubt. w:u<- appropriate enough on the eve of a year in which custom, from time ininiomorial. has granted them cortain privileges. Be that as it may. the impromptu affair arranged lvns r.irried out with it ilehjilitfill spontaneity and whole-heailed abandon that afforded hilarious enjoyment to all concerned. went forth late in the afternoon that, apart from the sedate elders, the director of ceremonies, and the "judges." 110 one would l>c allowed in the largo diningroom unless arrayed in fancy dre». Forthwith, there was much rummaging of limited wardrobes, knitting of pretty brows, and nodding of curly heads in whispered consultation,'among the more vouthful portion of the party, while their seniors glowered, frowned, and pondered—and kept their thoughts tn themselves. The result was undoubtedly satisfying, as well as highly diverting. When the gong rane at B.3<i p.m.. tho company, marshalled by a well-known Christchurch business man, prominent alike in patriotic work and in musical circles, paraded in front of the house to the music of a lively march. There was the '"Old Y'ear, 1919," represented by an elderly gentleman, who. with tho help of a lady's dressing-gown, tufts of wool, ferns, and other adventitious aids, filled the bill admirably, There v.as tho "New Year. 1920/" portrayed by a charming young English ladv in bridal array, the wife of one of our returned soldiers. "Darby and Joan," a couplo from tho southern city, looked, as one of the girls remarked, "pcrfectlv sweet.'' And so -with the others. Maori wahines. demure little maids from Japan, cricketers, soldiers cowboys, even down to "Old Bill," .1 blear"" dilapidated derelict, posing a* Bairnsfather's redoubtable hero bacli from ''The other 'Ole."

When the parade was over and tho prizes awarded for the most appropriate "rig." an impromptu concert programme was gono through. The talent available was surprising in its variety. Some of the items would have gr.iced the programme of a city conccrt. But' the performers shall l>o nameless. The scribe was made to take his affidavit that not one namo should he divulged. At tho supper table sundry toasts, put up on the spur of the moment, were honoured with enthusiasm. Later, as the time drew on towards midnight, the "Old Year" made a charmingly appropriate nnd humorous spoech as he bade the company farewell, and handed over his rule to the youthful graces of 1920, expressing, as he did so, the fervent wish, that tho New Year would indeed bring more of "Peace on earth and goodwill towards men." As the midnight hour struck tho company joined hands and sang "Auld Lang Syne," and then "The National Anthem," after whHi the performance was repeated around tho huge bonfire that had been lit outside on the road.
