Her Excellency has.not only taken an interest in the sister association in Wellington, bui is a real friend of the young women, having personally met almost all the members. Her kindness in speaking 'in the Town Hall, and appealing to the people of Wellington for their support, has given a new enthusiasm and encouragement to those who are carrying on the association.

Health and Breathing, , A lecture was given by Sister Avabamio/ in the Masonic' Hall yesterday afternoon j upon "The Ideal Marriage of the Future." There was a good attendance, and the speaker was followed with interest. She stated that the old days, when woman had to bo satisfied with the man who offered himself, and be content to play: u secondary part in the affairs of life, were passing away, and she now demanded that the rr.an should be more as she. wished, mentally, morally, and physically before .she married him. The hopo of the race lay in her keeping, and, . as she thought herself, so tlve generation that followed. To have a perfectly balanced mind with all its faculties in good working order it was necessary to keep a healthy body, and breathing (rightly understood) was an invaluable aid in doing this. Several exerc'ises with the object of keeping a good circulation, warding off colds from the chest or throat, for throwing off. fatigue, and for developing various muscles, wero then given by Sister Avabamia.
