.Gift'.Tea at .the Lovin Home. weather yesterday afternoon was enough ,to-'damp tho feelings of tho most' sanguine among, those interested in tho gift tea. that had been arrangod for the Levin Homo. The homo is. a loiig way out of town, and. there is quite a break between it and the tram-line, but, after all, a large num'ber of visitors wore not to bo deterred by this, and the table which stood in tho hall, piled up high with parcels of. every shape. aud size, showed how many 'sympathisers had found their way put. Theso were not the only offerings, bags iof sugar, ilour, and oatmeal : had been sent. out,' and Miss Bremner, at'her. office in town, had "received many more donations in kind. All the ladies of the committee wove present— most of them in. one : way or another belping.-with tho afternoon's:- arrangements, while Aliss .Gilford (matron of tho home) re--coived tho . guests. • Tea was served in two rooms,. which: had been decorated with flowers, and; afterwards many of ;tho guests took'tlie opportunity of inspecting the home. During •the afternoon'.songs were sung by Miss. West, , Mrs. B. \Vilson, and Miss Price, and later on the, children .thesisqlves: stood' in line against "the Wall," and sang two songs very, pleasantly, and without accompaniment. One song contained : the'confessions of somo; small children who changed their manners and their frocks, when visitors came, and it also narrated that the visitors would ask them : how old they were, and how they got along at school. This little ditty, amused the , children so immensely that, in singing -it, they broke down hopelessly, and one suspected that they:knew, well, what it.was to' be asked those same two questions, .■.i-..; , ' ' .. ■ ■• .'.-:.-!■■. -.

Walker made ' a little speech, ; congratulating , them on their pleasn'nt quarters, on. the' kindness that had just been shown to them by so many friends, and on. the caro. exercised"-by ''Miss Gifford. He also, said-how. much the committeei .regretted the absence of Miss Ellen Greenwood, who was—more than, anyone else—the mother of .ihe home. The committee, had. hoped, that, on'tho date fixed for; the-tea, .Miss Greenwood would bo homo from Auckland, but it had been necessary.to hold the tea a week earlier, arid it was impossible for her to get home In time, 1 : . . : . : '.'.. ■ ,!

They havo a Very nico wide balcony, where they can, play on fine days, and this is especially useful .When there are. any case's of sickness.','! There: are twenty-five children in tho.home, and, by next week, there will be two more, -which will about till -the beds, and the committee were: very, pleased, to receive .yesterday a donation or another cot. This, did-, not '.come under the head of either, a. pound or a yard, but-neither did tho copper ■tea-urn which was'also. presented.- ". ■" : ■■"- .-'• '. '- . ■•'■". .■".■■.'. :

.■'..'-A , good "deal ; of. misunderstanding . exists ' in town os to. the way 'ill which the Levin Home is' , supported, it being commonly supposed that thelate Mr..Levin'established it-.by a.bequest. As a matter of >,fact, it otos .its existence"-to tho determination of. Miss Greenwood, and .the good sense, of. the gentlenien who formed thein-. ■Selves into'a committee to establish somo V>rt of memorial to 'Mr. Levin. : After a. sufficient, sum had .been ■,raised for a public memorial, there was talk of erepting a statue, but Miss Ellen' Greenwood • personally canvassed the members of the committee, and begged that the .money; should go. to establish: a home forchildren, using as, n. basis a tiny home whioh was already 'in, existence. , Her.; idea was 'carried Out, and.-the new. home was built'H years ago. ■ Since then'.it: has depended on public charity 'for its support'.; At first the Government used to seml\uncared-for children'to theli'ome, paying the usual weekly rate of seven and six. for -eaiili ohildr.and when: living was :cheap tho hoine Was even ablo'ro lay- by:something- out' ;of .that.: But; with;tho- adoption by the .Government ;of: the i boarding-out ■: system,'- this source:of supply, gradually 'ceased. -The. children admitted, usually came through private requests,; and manyi of. them., contributed nothing to the support ;of,;thO;.hbrne l , l whil,o..at the sain© time tho cost of living increased. Still ths committee ;,were.',anxious,,no.t to , rnake; .any, 'special, appeal4o. the-publicjfor .support'/'antf it - is-, only the fact. that, times 'have been, so straightened during : this. last winter that has led them.to-do' so now. : -.■ ■''■•■-■■: ' ■ ■ ■ pThey .ineet ■vvjth'.'a, great "deal, of'; kindness from private individuals,'and special : reference was made .yesterday to Mr. Hurcombe—a near neighbonrT-:who every ...week supplies the ehil-'-dren lvith/arfish,dinner, 'and constantly- sends' out other-good, things.

The British Statistical Society,, by the ivay, has: just ascertained that the average ..married life ,for men is twenty-five years. That means that a good maiiywiyes are left alone while they have still .some years to'live. The feeling seems to |be growing everywhere that a widow loft without means has a claim that ought to be recognised, •wlion,-as is often the case, she has no trade, is past her prime, and has young, children to prpvide-for.
