MATTERS OF INTEREST FROM FAR AND NEAR,

"Au Fil de la Vie" (As Life Flows). The book tho Infanta has writfccm classcr nor among tho thinking women of to--0 Vi T^ cu » I**o many women think and are incapablo of writing, on tho subjects of divorce and the relations of the Bexes. ]n tho chapter on the Com])iclo Indcpcndenco of Woman tho voxnd question of "the rijjht of living like man lives" is v<?ry rationally exposed and frankly aslcod: Why men give themselves tho privilege of living as they pleas# while women must be submitted to a prohibitivc code of morality. To this tho men's answer is well known. Tho Infanta carries the subject further when eho acknowledges the truth of the contention where married women are concerned, lmt fights it' valiantly in connection with "free" women, asking, "What reason can condemn them to abstain from living, as men do, a complete independent life?" And I may add that the word "oompleto" has all tho significance that can be given t6 it. ; Tho servant question is also a matter tliat interests tho Princess, which she disciisses from a practical point of view. "The small apartments," she says, "thin walls, and glass doors are the cans# of but the palatial residences come too much ipto contact with their masters." Tho Infanta advocates soryants by the "hour," called in when required. "If you hava a 'ma&iwur- or masseuse, a hairdresser, a manicure, a pedicure, a packer, a vacuumcleanor, what is there loft to ask of your servants? There are already houses with one kitchen common to all apartments, where it is only necessary to indicate tho' number .of guests and the hour of the meals' for tho eerrice to be done regularly.; An offico in each quarter of the town, a telophonio call, and nothing is easier than to organise the 'hour' system. ' As for the expense, when it is calculated how much cach servant oosts who lives in the house, the system will be found not only an economy to tho musters and inis-trcsses, but remunerative to tho botj .vants." The Princess also speaks of the special advantages this scheme would have in England, where servants are eo often called as "witness," and have "bo much influence in divorce cases." It is Certainly a scheme that many mistresses and servants would follow if it wcr* weli managed. Miss Humphries (Lower Eutt) has to Hawks's Bay for a visit. The marriage of Mr. A. J. Pethcrick to Miss Becky Coleman takes place on January 31, not January 21. Mr. and Mrs. Mason Bayly, of the Wai? rarapa, loft this week on a two months* visit to .Sydney and Melbourne.
