SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

A' New Zealand Artist The following reference to Mies Hopkins, 'in the ■ "Westminster- ; Gazette s criticism of the tenth • exhibition ot tne Royallnstitute of Painters in Water Colours, is particularly gratifying, m -new of the fact that, the president,, Sir James D.. Linton, John .Hassall, lernck_>\»liams, August Ingram, G. C. .Haite Dudley Hardy, Borough Johnson,. Frank :' Spenlove Spenlar, and Charles Dixon, ■among others, were exhibiting. In. some respects" .(says'the ■'Gazette") "the most ■promising effort'in tho exhibition is Miss Frances Hodgkins's 'The Hill Top ■■■■(414); which has' real distinction ,and ,: vitality. "With-still more courage, especially in the use of colour,. Miss Hodgfcins should go far on. this path. : .. Madame ,'Carr.eno's Recital. . Madame Caireno's recital last night was alland<more than-her most enthusiastic admirers had anticipated; she responded to their ■ delighted- applause and demands for • encores, with wonderful generosity, ~ and af-the end of the evening they were left : marvelling' at. her extraordinary ' power and endurance. The artiste wore a very-handsome - gown of palo blue, satin, with panels of net embroidered in shaded '■' blue and silver sequins, the bodice trimmed with the same embroidery. A cord : matching the satin caught. each side pt the skirt, and was fastened at.the back, twhere- it was finished with two tassels. .Among the audience were Mr. and -Airs, fvon Haast; Mrs. H. E.

Mrs. Blamires, who also gave a very interesting address, spoke of the evils, that confront those'women who work among the poor of our. cities, and: gave instances of-the-havoc wrought by drink, especially with regard to little children. . Miss Beatrice Day. Northern critics are agreed that Miss Beatrice Day, who is coming to Wellington immediately, an'd opens on Monaay - with "Pete," has found in her new play a part that might have been written for her. As Kate Creeean, she fairly holds ■'• her Vaudience , breathless with interest'in .■'■.■• the tumultuously sad story, and', won from Auckland critics the. acknowledgment ' that she 'was one of the very finest emotional actresses by whom .New Zea- -■ land'has been visited. The storyof Kate is one that affords ample, scope for an .■■•' emotional actress, .swinging' as. it. does from joy to sorrow, and back again from renewed joy to poignant despair, . .
