The new Art Club made.a good start on its educational way yesterday. In the afternoon the first life class was held, and in the evening a very interesting lecture on Greek art was given by Miss Myrtle Lee, who illustrated her remarks with a number of lantern pictures of famous and beautiful statuary. She has some very fiue slides, but the light was hardly strong enough to do them justice. Miss Lee traced the rise of Greek art from its strong beginnings to the perfection of Phidias and Praxiteles with their insight, idealism, and grandeur, on to the period of realism and unrest, when for the emotion and the movement of human life the sculptors had exchanged their conceptions of the calm of the gods and of the heroes by. which they had been hitherto inspired.

As air officer's wife is not allowed to accompany her husband, to sea in his boat, the lady bad 'to book a passage by the Ruahinc. Shortly after leaving the Cape, the liner sighted the Waimate one morning. The two vessels immediately exchanged greetings, and passed each "other sufficiently close to allow of husband and wife to carry on an animated conversation- by means of megaphones, much to the delight and excitement of the respective crews and passengers.
