A girl'could go in for nursing and be better off than a teacher who received 35s a week aud had to pay £2 2s per week for board and lodging. A girl" who went in for nursing Jived in tho best of homes and received her uniform free. Mrs Moffatt: Parilv. The chairman: Wholly.

"The temptation of overdressing is exaggerated," said' Dr. Rossi vn Bruce in a sermon at Bristol Cathedral "Every woman should look as nice as she qan; it is her duty as a Christian woman, but it must not be done in a, spirit of competition." Even the Chinese women have come in for criticism for wearing short skirts and also tor displaying their arms. This criticism applies, however, qnly to those who have adopted foreign styles of dress. An edict against tho wearing of these styles- has been issued by tha City Magistrate and Chief of Police of Shanghai. It declares that these fashions make, the -wearer neither foreign nor Chinese-, arid adds: "Wearers are devoid of; shame and frequent publio streets without embarrassment.

Mother and Sisters of LoVisham yesterday afternoon entertained their many friends at a most enjoyable garden party, when the guests had the pleasure of meeting Rev. Mother Xavier, of Lewishani, Sydney, who, accompanied by three sisters, is at present visiting Christchurch, and of hearing the financial result of the recent art union in aid of the Lewisham Improvement Fund. The' guests were received in the 'flail, beautifully decorated for tho occasion, by Mother Pius and the Sisters, by whom they weio oonducted to the lawn, where was erected a large marquee, furnished as a drawing-room, and brightened with huge bowls of roses and autumn leaves.

He also paid a tribute to Mr C. W. Hervey, who hail plated his, office and staff at the disposal of tho committee, and who had given ungrudgingly of his time and energy to the good Work. Miss Bowers, 1 too, who had kept the accounts, won much piaiso from Mr Clifford. l)r. O'Brien, in an excellent speech, said tha,t the idea of raising funds to enlarge Lewisham dated back to t>be' time of the influenza epidemic, whan every nook and bathroom and corridor contained a, bed, and when tho Sisters gave their own beds to patients. Eveiy medical man would agree with him that, during that awful time, the Sisters had done almost superhuman deeds, Even when nine of their number fell victim i to the disease and one died, the remaining staff did tho work of all, and c<» sufferer for whom a bed could be found was refused admission. J>r. O'Brien dwelt on the altruistic spirit that iui- ! bued the Sisters, and explained t&at, ! on an average, there were always four | patients in Lewisham who, on account of needv circumstances, received the best of nursing free of charge, and with more facilities tho-Rev.'Mother hoped to increase thk number. Dr. Thacker, as. Mayos, welcomed Mother Xavier, and congratulated Mother Pius on being created »R€*v Mother. As a medical man, he dealt with the. splendid trorJs done at

I.ewishr.m'. and TWibcd the Sisters every snc-.'-c'j.f in the future. Mr W. Fi.Simos, another member of the committee,. spoke enthusiastically i of tin? work dune at Lewisham, and addI ed his quota of praise to Mr Hervey, i whom he characterised as the best orI ganiser in Canterbury, and to Mr* Farra and the Hisses Nottingham. J When his Lordship Bishop Brodie rose 10 speak, he was greeted trit'h, aj>- . Ho said that when ho last spoke at Lewisham, five years ago, he had been but recently raised to tho Bishopric, anjl ho considered that, 'or all the legacies bequeathed to him by his predecessor, the late Bishop Grimes, Lewishnm was almost the most precious. Ke joined with the previous speakers in heartily thauking all who had helped j with the*art union, particularly those who were not co-religionists, but who had done such splendid work for theinstitution. Ho made reference to the enthusiasm of all ex-patients ri Lewisham. nnd thanked the Sisters for the care they took, not only of wis ailing priests, but of all his people. llr Hervey then read the balancesheet, showing that the net result of the art union was £1798 1-ls <ld, a sum of which all could be justly proud. After the applause which greeted thi.* announcement had died away, the guests adjourned to another marquee, where Mr'A. Bijjwood's orchestra played most, enjoyable music, and whore delicious afternoon tea was. served at small, roso-doeked tables.
