After a brief experience with a woman preacher, the members of Compton Heights Chrsitian Church, of St. Louis, Missouri, are wondering how they were ever satisfied with a man filling their pulpit. Rev. .Miss Myrtle B. Parke, pastor of the Christian Church at Carlock, 111., h.-.s been filling the pulpit during (he summer has made a big success of her work in the larger city, ill's- Parke is'but ih years old, pretty, and is said to have a splendid command of language. She speaks without the aid of a manuscript, and goes into her suejeet in interesting fashion, displaying a natural gift of oratory which appeals to her hearers. At Mi.-s Parke's Church in Carlock she has a membership of two hundred and fifty persons. Even in the conservative south of the United States women are breaking away from old traditions and entering the world of action to competo with men. In New Orleans there aro even now several women lawyers who are successful and crcditaUlo members of th'ir piofi'ssion. Conspicuous among these is Mrs. Jessv Benedict (le-sncr, who, though admitted to Hip bar in IPO7. has appeared in cases before a variety of tribunals, ranging from the city 'Joints up to I he United States Circuit Court of Appeals, having as her opponents some of the strong men of (he Ixir in her native city. She had, util rrcelly at least, the proud record of never having lost a ease and of having only once failed to carry every point she contended. The marriage of Miss Elsie Anderson, late of the slalf of the New Zealand Alliance, and Mr. 11. E. Townshend takes place at I ho Congregational Church, Constable Street, on November 15. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Macandrew (Auckland) passe i thro igh Wellington on Saturday on their way south. Mrs. Dab.iell (Matiawn) is in town, and goes on to Napier shortly. Mrs. Henry Loughnan and her daughter (of Christchiirch) passed through Wellington on Friday on their way to Sydney. Miss Rita Kebbell fof Nga Ratn) is tho guest of .Mrs. D. Riddiford, Rangitikei. Mrs. ,T. Ciselberg (of Mastcrton) is on a visit to town, and is staying with Mrs. Ziman, in Hill Street. Dr. Chilton and Mrs. Chilton arrived in Wellington from Christchurch on Saturday. Mrs. Thorne-George and Miss N. ThomeGeorge have returned to Auckland from a three weeks' visit to Wellington. Nurse R«id, late of the Nanier Hospital, has been appointed a sister in tho Pahiatua institution. The Hon. ,T. A. Millar and Miss Millar left for Christchurch on Friday. Miss Millar will probably remain in the south for some weeks. The annual athletic sports of tho boys belonging to tho Croydon Preparatory School are always looked forward to with the greatest interest by very many people, and keen disappointment was felt when the rain descended so heavily on Saturday morning thai; they had to lie abruptly concluded. A great many people had gathered on the Wellington College grounds, where the various events were takinu' place, and many had, fortunaHy, provided themselves with macintoshes and umbrellas, but gradually, as the rain started and steadily increased in volume, they reluctantly decided that, in this cas.o it was wisdom to retreat. The sports are always so excellently organised by Misa Sommerville, and are so enjoyablo an event, that great regret was expressed on till sides at the unkindly downpour, especially as it cleared up in the afternoon. The death is announced from Hastings of Mrs. Wi Te Tan, daughter-in-law of Mrs. Tai Te Tan, of Masterton. Madame Emily Briggs, of Wanganui, has been engaged b.i the Masterton Otehestral Society to sing at their concert, which is to take place on November 22 at Alasterton. The death took place last week of Miss Winnie Nicol, daughter of Mr. Malcolm Nicol, head of the .Masonic, order in New Zealand. The deceased lady had not lioen in good health for some time. The funeral took place in Auckland. Mr. and Mrs. C. Kent-Johnstou, of Featherston, are leaving shortly for Auckland, whero they will make their luturo home. Mrs. Rolles-ton, Hair Specialist, Lambto: Quay, has secured a testimonial ivnich is the best proof of her skill as ait operator in Electrolysis it is possible to obtain. Some fifteen months ago Mrs. Rolleston was awarded a first-class diploma while in America, at (ho I)r Rhodes's School of Electrolysis, Lowell) Mass. Since that time t;he subject of her work has been under the medical observation of a leading Boston practitioner, who has handed tho followin" testimonial :— 212 Columbus Avenue, Boston, Mass., t m -n ■ • i 23rd A "K" sl ' 10U ' i.O the Principal, Rhodes School of Electrolysis— This is to certify that the patient treated by Mrs. Rolleston, of WcllitMon New Zealand, during tho month of July, 1910, for the removal of superfluous hair by Electrolysis has lx'on under mv observation, and I am pleased In Mnl'c, that tho treatment has been permaneni and was skilfully performed, no sears being visible, and the growth of hair entirely removed.

The london County Council Kitucntion Authority kept an eye on the course of events and policemen in the "affected areas" were on duty for a while. POLITENESS AND COURTESY. THE DIl'L-KHEXCE. There has been an interesting discussion in the English papers lately oil the question of manners. The ball seems lo have boon set rolling by the Uishop of Worcester, who at a school speech dav quoted a eonver?ation he had had with the King when he was Duke of York. The Dnko of York remarked: "Why do you not nsk llial al public schools manners should be taught f" 'The Uishop inquired why he should specially emphasise inaiir.ers. and flip Duke replied: "Moralise, as you know, 1 mix among all sorts and conditions of men, and it has been a positive distress to me to sec how often, when abroad, Englishmen lose in tlie race with Frenchmen. Italians, and Germans, because of the Knglishman's want of manner*. The foreigners know when to bow, to shako hands, to converse, to stand up or sit down in the presence of their superiors, while the Englishman is warning in these manners, and when vacancies have to be filled up those are the points which very often tell, and that is where the Englishman does not shine." Lord Hugh Cecil, of whom we heard so much a few weeks ago, says in the "Times" that it is "superfluous to discuss questions of courtesy when we are passing through a revolution, for revolutions and manners do not belong to the same plane." Lord Jialdnne, talking to some schoolboys, said that what they wanted was what was sometimes vulgarly called "culture," which was nearly the very highest training the mind could get. He did not think it had ever ken realised what splendid opportunities were in the highest, sense to he found in the studv of modern literature, not only of England, but of France, of Germany, and of other lands. In a recently-published book, "Truths and Truisms," Mr. William Stehbing draws a distinction between politeness and courtesy. "Politeness is polished manners, and not to bo undervalued," he says. "Politeness is a produce of civilisation, and among its best. It is die removal of the pebbles from the road along which civilisation travels, and civilisation is glfitl to have the pebbles removed. Without any extraordinary attention to elevation of spirit, civilisation is determined that at least outward behaviour, where visible, shall be well rolled and smoothed, toil polilmipss is not eoiirt'-sv. Evenness of the surface, however dexterously it has been levelled, and disseminating of natural crabbedness, have little or no affinity to the inner graces of the habit, or temper, of which I understand courtesy to be the flower and fruit. "Courtesy is a thing by itself. And so it cannot be defined, for von can define only by comparison. It is *in action that it is discovered. It is never officious never superfluous. It can administer rebuffs without bruising. Jt teaches a youth to argue against his seniors with so graceful a fire that, instead of resenting the tone of equality, they delight in the flattery of a forgetfulness of their years."
