' <\ Peoplo and. parliament. : ■ fe ; Quito the most interesting event of yesterf day, from the. point of view of many women, f- -x~ was' the huge .gathering at the indignation iJ' ; : meeting in J the .Toivn Hall .'(where a 'largo' number of women were to be seen)/ followed i.l ; maroh to-the gates ,'of Parliament. if Most of the members of that procession were |men, but' they__wcre. accompanied by a rJiir number of women, and here and there in the ; hugd crowd outside the gates might be seen : a woman's hat. ; Some' of those who have ..... been : accustomed. to attending the peaceful ri;''; ' sessions of the" House thought that^hey 1 0 , would go into, the grounds by that'little side i; : : . ; . gat«l opening on .to the Quay, but they found : it guarded by two/stern' policemen—such' a; ;. little gate for such staljvart protection. How V many; policemen there ver& to guard the main gates' one could not see,'-';but'tho rapidity .ivit.li which ..two largo' ones kept clambering r';.v ' ' to the top of the gate, and dropping back again, gave tho : impression of - quite a y--: , number—it also had a rather pantomimic air., pi'i : It is not pleasant .'for. women to be in such j'Rs'-' packed crowds, if there is'even a little rough- - ■.. nessj but dast night.the crowd was .orderly enough, arid good-humoured, and women who ventured t-o within'a' short distance of the ; iX, gates, .remained there watching, events, and M almost expecting- that'-the '.Prime Minister ( .■!"; would at last appear; Probably Sir Joseph Ward, sitting j..■ . safely entrenched, in. the .

Miss Lovoll's Demonstration. Tho Concert Hall was well filled yesterday afternoon, both downstairs and in the gallery, when Miss Lovell gave .a demonstration of the lisp of tho gas' stove in cooking. Tin stago was for the time being turned into i kitchen, where with a gas stovo on cither hand, a table, behind her, laden with cooking utensils and uncooked materials, and a met white draped table before her where she worked, Miss Lovell in tho course of exactly an hour turned out an appetising dinner of white'.'soup, baked fish, roast beef, baked potatoes, baked tomatoes, railway pudding, apricot creams, baked custard puckling, pcai and ginger pie, cheoso pudding, and sconesall cooked ill the gas stove, whose, virtues Miss Lovell is liorg to demonstrate. It .was a good demonstration accompanied by » running commentary and lecture that might have contained a little.more substance, and which might, liavo been delivered in a style , more pleasing to the .audience.-.Miss .Lovell has rather tlie. air of talking down to her audience, and, though a few of tho hints she threw in by the way were admirable and use-ful,-they were not, perhaps, so new to-her audienco as she was inclined to think. Miss Lovell is a lady of long experience, and fully qualified to give a 1 delightful lecture on the uses of her fino gas. stove'. She only requires to realiso that her New Zealand audiences are fully qualified to appreciate tile best she cam give them. > " At. the lecture this afternoon. Miss Lovell will give, a" demonstration of cooking a dinner of'many items, and it promises to be of exceptional interest.
