The Savages and the Ladies/ Excellent- was the fooling of the Wellington Savages on Saturday night, _ when they entertained the ladies of -their acquaintance at. the Town Hall. -That hall has seen many vicissitudes, especially in the past week. On Wednesday it was childlike and floral, on Thursday most brilliantly decorative and gorgeous with frocks.-oil Friday night its •brilliance adopted .a. martial tone, and on Saturday it. was purely, savage. The blue and white' canop}' and drapings, the ropes ■of pink and white (lowers, the strings of ■coloured lights had been left-intact, but ■ 'the - character of them all had changed when -they looked down on a cafo chan:tant. of tho most civilised description. The whole floor had'been covered with carpots, and on it tables were set about, as many as room could lie ■ found for, among the thirteen hundred guests'who responded to the. invitations of the Savages. . The .guests did not move about from one table to another -in the truly roving'spi/it of a real cafechantant. nor did the men avail themselves .generally of the permission to smoke, which was accorded them: though'a few' did so rather shyly, but there is no doubt they all en ioye.'l the entertainment greatly, and liked the novel, arrangement. The complexities of 'fashioiiable attire arc a matter of won- ■ der to the Savage mind, and careful study was shown in' the clever sketch given by one . Savage in pantomime of a lady's preparation for <a dance., Mark Twain once objected to a statue of a.nymph arranging her hair, because the sculptor had not made her, hold her hairpins in. her mouth, a detail which, the performer on Saturday hig'it did not overlook. .One of the successes: of the evening was 1 the song by.'Hdme.'Garuszzini, who wore a white lace frock,-with pretty little sleeves, the ekirt- and, bodice adorned with violets, that/was -the admiration of the feminine part of the audience. The hair was' beautifully ; arranged, and a. turquoisa necklet, . with earrings, completed a -charming cbstmne. The flattery .of the guests by this invitation ;was continued in the.speech of the-Chifef Savage,'with its reference to the-influence of women'upon the Savage mind, from the days of the very first Savage, Adam. - . ' During the evening refreshments were 6erv«l at .the various tables, 'and, the entertainment was brought to an end soon after eleven o'clock; when the great crow;d of. gwsts . gradually collected its wraps and departed. , . Tile, night, was chilly, and most, of,'tho ladies had retained their pretty- evening coats, which in. no way . detracted from the .brightness of the scene in the crowded hall' when seen from .the' gallery above, for. .nowadays evening coats are as pretty as the frocks'they cover, and some very, beautiful frocks-were worn. Mrs. Collins wore grey; silkpMrs.. Findlay, who ;came; with .Dr.. .Tina-lay,wore black,'.with a grey coat;' Miss ■' Ward, e. blue coat and white frock; Mrs. iFqwlds, blue silk;vand Miss Fowlds, pale, mauve ninou over pale blue silk. .-:

Wednesday's performance of the Flower Pageant .will result in a net profit for the < Free Kindergarten funds of about JE3OO. The total takings at the performance were ,£375, and the expenses reached £75: Memorial Tablet Unveiled. There was a large gathering of leading townsmen and ' settlers at the Masterton ' Hospital on Saturday afternoon (says our Masterton . correspondent), "• .when the . memorial 'tablet procured in England by , Mr. G. Beetham with funds subscribed in this district was unveiled in memory o£ the late Hiss. Seliua Sutherland. The deceased lady was a prominent worker amongst the sick and aiflicted of the Wailarapa in the early days, and played an important part in founding Mastertpn •Hospital. After leaving the Wairarapa she went to Australia, where she assisted ill the foundation of various homes foT the sick and afflicted, and where she died i last year. The tablet was unveiled by Mr. Myer Caselberg. 'Addresses were also given by Messrs. A. W. Hogg, M.P., \V. H. Beetham, D. MacGrcgor, jun., and the Rev. llr. IjJain M.'Donald Au apology was read from Mrs. Grant, of "Bannockburn," Gladstone, sister of the lato Miss Sutlier- '. land, w;ho was. unable .'to be present through illness,,but who Coffered to piesent the ; Hospital with an enlarged photograph of the deceased lady. Afternoon tea was provided:, by the sisters of hos- . pital. • The tablet, which is in brass, and is very artistic, bears, tho following tion:—"ln. memoriam of Selina Sutherland, who, by her unswerving and selfsacrificing ministrations to the sick and afflicted, and by her touching appeals on their behalf largely contributed to the es-' tablishment of the first' hospital in the Wairarapa." ~ » Cinderella Danes, at .Masterton.

MATTERS OF INTEREST FROM FAR AND NEAR,

A Private View. Miss D. K. Richmond and Mr. Esmond Atkinson have a collection of pictures and sketches on view at Messrs. M'Gregor Wright's Gallery, and on Saturday afternoon they gave a private view, when the little -gallery was lilled. with guests, whoexpressed great admiration for the work of both artists. Many of those present belonged, to the Art Club, came on from the "at home" there, or were.on thenway to it. Among other guests were Mr. and Mrs. V. Kcid, Mr. and -Mrs. \V. H. Field, Dr. and Mrs. Fell, Mr. and Mrs. Coleridge, the Hon. G. iml Jlrs. l'owlas, Mr. and Mrs. Birch, Mr. and Mrs. Burnett, Mr. and Mrs. Denmston (beutli Canterbury), Mrs. Lindo Levien (Napier), Mrs. aud '.Miss Head, Mrs. Tudor Atkinson, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Fell, Mr. Joynt, Mr. and Miss Ashcroft, Mr. \on Haast, Miss Whittaker, Miss Myrtle Lee, Mrs. H. K. and the Misses Richmond, Mrs. C. Y. Fell (Nelson), Mr. Webster, Miss Greenwood, Miss M. E. Richmond, Miss L. Atkinson, Mr. Waldc-grave, Jliss Butt, Mr. Inmaii, and Mr. Webster. Miss Richmond's work shows a great advance on that shown in previous years and a curious change in ner sty*.® is not easy to describe, though it strikes the observer at once, and one has an idea, that.it will appeal , more to the average art-lover. As a tree painter she perhaps is iire-eminent among New Zealand artists, and her new work goes far to establish that claim.' She feels the souls ot trees. Several of the pictures in this exhibition have been shown before, .but most of it is new, and among the most charming of her pictures is one of Mahina Bay, entitled "On the Road to Lowry Bay," .'with beautiful effect ot sunlight and shadow, "lea on the Beach, Nelson/ 1 is very good, though the rguios might perhaps be better, and a fascinating sketch, "A Lagoon, Nelson, shows a long line of purple snow-capped mountains in tile 'background, a brown marshy foreground, and between a narrow lagoon holding'a confused reflection of tlio bright mountain range. There is very clever work in the pimis insignis, which over-shadows-the "Girls Sowing in the Gardens," and movement in the figure that walks- into "The White Door," a sketch by the way quite unliko anything else shown bv Miss Richmond. v Thirty-two out of tlio 124 pictures and sketches are by Mr. Esmond Atkinson, and most of them deal with some aspect of Wellington Harbour or the surrounding hills. Taking them altogether they show a great improvement in choice and treatment of subject over Mr. Atkinson's work of the last year or two. He is fond of water studies,'and particularly of still water with reflections; at least several of his. most successful studies are of Wellington Harbour, with the unusual charm of unruffled stillness. As a'set-off against this is a grey sea, : the waves, broken with flying spray, and. in the distance the fleet uncomfortably processioning into the harbour. It 'is in his painting of skies, however,_ that Mr. Atkinson excels, and it is a relief to look at the skies he has portrayed after the .garish effects to which one is accustomed. His pictures are extraordinarily full of delicacy and atmosphere. They display more of Turner's spirit than any others that have been done in New Zealand, said one admirer commenting on the collection. It would take a student of Turner's work 'to make such a pronouncement, but there is one exhibit that appeals to the less well-trained eye as of wonderful fidelity and perfection of finish, the set of entomological drawings made for the Biological Department, which are perfect in their way. Of the pictures, a large one of the harbour, seen from a hillside at Day's Bay, with a'- black': birch';in the foreground and ah intensely blue sea, came in perhaps for most admiration, and there were. qth,er,s )}'flr,thy of special, mention. Mr. and Mrs. A. Atkinson exhibit a case of silver work, some worked with enamel, and others very cleverly, worked with iridescent fragments of pawa. shell.

The winter is coming, with its alternating bleakness and humidity, its wind and pelting rain—all tho things and influences that try the complexion so severely. Have you thought of that? Are you content to go on just anyhow, letting the weather do its worst with one' of your dearest possessions—your comeliness? If you aro not, the remedy is ready to your hand. Mrs. Arthur Stannard found it after years. of searching, and its world-wide popularity has given her a second fame.

A MEDICINE OF HEAL WORTH. •Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, is intonded'for acute throat and lung disease, of which colds, croup and whooping cough are the most common. Those who have used it for years and are in a position to know its real value assert that it is without an equal for the treatment of these diseases. It not only cures colds and influenza, but .counteracts any tendency towards pneumonia. It is in almost universal uso as a preventive and cure for croup and has never been known to fail.—Advt
