A Surprise to the Critics. Mr. Leonard Korwick, n. pianist who will not have been forgotten here, Rave a recital at the Carnegie Hall, New York, on December 8. Tho critics, who srem to have- been quite unprepared to encounter anything of (lie sort, unanimously hailed liini as a great artist. Indeed,, tho occasion generally was one of surprise, for we read that Mr. Berwick was ((into unheralded in New York by press preliminaries, that only a handful of people were present, and that those were amazed and delighted by tho fine aspect of art presented to them. Something of the kind, it will Iμ remembered, dis-

tinguished Mr. Borwick's season here, a further analogy to which in. his New York appearance, is to be found in the judgment of the critics on his gifts as being those of great artistic insight, the highest technical accomplishment, and a rare sureness of interpretation. Mr. _ Berwick's so complete capture of the critical sympathies of New York will,be heard of with pleasure by his numerous admirers here. Protection of Women and Children.

MATTERS OF INTEREST FROM FAR AND NEAR,

A Farewell. On Thursday a most enjoyable evening wn» given l>y. .Mr. and Mrs. Knowlce, of Kolhurne, as a i'arcwi'll to Mr. Hugli Weill), who sailed from Wellington yesterday on Jtis way to Jmiia, where ho joins a cousin at Darjecling.

On February 1!) tho matron of the Children's Home of the Salvation Array; lias planned to take all her charges for Ihreu works or a month to Karaka Bay, where a house has been placed at their disposal. Last year they camped at Day's Hay for practically tho siime time, ami so thoroughly did the children enjoj) themselves, and so much good did tlifti open air and tho seo beach do them, thai it was decided to tike them again to tli< seaside. . The children, fifty in number, are 01, course of varying ages, ono or two no tiny as fourteen or sixteen months old, while others have reached fourteen years of nge, and the joy of l>eing able to play \ about in the sunshine, away from "the; dusty, closed-iii streets of the city, has been keenly looked forward to by them for months past. Naturally, such an expedition cannot be done without funds, especially when , it means a household con-' si.sling of at least fifty-four or fifty-five people, and any assistance given towards the carrying out of so beneficent a project. as the giving of such delight to tho children, as well as adding to their health, will be most gladly welcomed by the matron and her assistant's. The long sunny days spent 'upon the sands by tho sea. aro pleasures that belong by right hi children. Mrs. Stanton Harcourt and her children left by the Moana yesterday for Sydney, en routo to Englaud, Mrs. Noel Adams (Nelson) passed through 'Wellington this week, leaving for (ho north by tho Main Trunk yesterday.

At tho seventh annual meeting of th»Association of Women , Pharmacists held recently in England, an interesting condition of affairs with regard to this rapid- ' ly developing profession for women' was ' revealed. Tho association, which numbers ' among its members about three-quarters ■ of the practising women pharmacists of '• England, lakes every step short of actual trade union principles to instruct , • its ' members oh the. umlesirability of accepting a mere nominal wage. A reierenilum taken pome time ago of the qualified wo- " men as to whether they were receiving tho same salary as men who preceded them, showed that only live cases out of nboiit 130-were receiving less, whilo ill" Iho great-majority they were receiving ' the some, and in seven or eight instances.' they were paid more than the men.

FASHIONS FOR AUTUMN.

SOME FORECASTS. Colour harmony is to bo very prominent {says a writer in the "Australasian"), find it seams ns if all materials of ono tone arcs to bo vory scarce; silk serges especially displaying a lovely range of those colour minglings that ore termed "double-faced." In some instances navy blue has a dull golden yellow sheen, or on the other Jinnd a rich deep shade of rose and black is woven with purple and striped with white. These fabrics, although of comparatively light weight and extremely supple, aro endowed with qualities of warmth that will allow of them being worn right into the winter. Now that wo have become used to them, and to a certain extent see wisdom in tho fashion, it is not surprising to learn that skirts are narrower than ever. That is, tho upper, or hip, portion, but at the foot they are decidedly fuller. All the samo the appearance is not that of extreme tightness, although they cling as close as possible. To a great extent tho present-day corset and underwear are the reason of this; that is, everything possible is suppressed and compressed to produco tho often wonderful yet nevertheless elegant straight silhouette, especially if the woman be tall. The coat and skirt and the one-piece dress alternate, and are apparently as vot the only two distinctive styles. In either case there is an almost endless variety to choose- from, and especially with regard to tho coat. It can button down tho front, to fit fairly close. On tho other hand, it is simply fastened at the waist witli one button. Tho opposite of this is the coat that closes almost on tho left side with three buttons, and yet another stylo has a belt passed through a big buckle in the front. In fact, there is no question more absorbing in the autumn advance fashions than the coat Its planning and cut are unlimited, yet there does not appear ono item of exaggeration or extreme, except that some are slightly high-waisted at the back, say an inch or two above tho natural line. In nddition a remarkablo detail is their adaptability. While simple enough for informal occasions and everyday wear, there is also a distinction that ■will make them dressy enough for smart or fete occasions. Onco again, almost any material is suitable for the coat and ekirt. Neckwear. Neckwear and blouses are not innumerable in choice, but there- is enough variety to tempt. Thn one-sided jabot continues popular, aud those of embroidered taffeta are newest, although muslin and lace, and hemstitched Irish lawn, are plentiful. This is good to know, for very few of us are ready or eager to forgo ,

the pretty dres?y, and modish touch that , often quite "sets us off." On looking over somo of the high chokers one cannot help a. feeling of consternation for those who have been allowing themselves the comfort of a collarless neck. Up to now there is nothing collarless .to hand, tho modes all tending the other way, possibly for the reason that the. newest jabot, frill or cascade, would look simply absurd if worn collarless, or even with a low collar. But there is one. attractive and comforting item about the new chokers, and that is they can be worn boneless, and simply drawn softly.round tho throat. The distinguishing note of all French notions for the neck is the small bow of black taffeta, a trifle that is'the hall-mark of np-to-date dressing. • Another item of neckwear suggesting the touch of black is of satin folded two inches wide. In front there is a knot and two long ends, finished with heavy, tassels of black jet. The "perfect" blouse matches tho coat and'.skirt. Crepe de chine, taffeta, satin, chiffon, and net are the fabrics from which choice can be made. Tucks, buttons to match, ornate stitchory, and embroidery, are some of the forms of ornamentation. In tho case of black, the blnise, 1 if transparent, is draped over ■white or purple. When of colour it is kept'-to one tone. . Lace is hardly used on these blouses, that for some reason, if ■' ; :Winded to carry their distinction, must ':'!iO';;lje broken up, an item that quick ■'HVii'-jation will soon detect,, tho absence j l ' , .-.;:;.-:"? being supposed to form a finish&.','.Vi'ich that means so much to the r.'lXylity of the marker.

in many respects supplies tho «•■ surious, and at tho samo time" tho posliblc. Hieh-crowned turbans and toques, ind/large hats with broat sweeping brims, provide both tho extremo and. the becoming. Velvet. is the foremost materiel for all headgear. Fur and heavy metallic.embroidery are a happy mimjiiwr of frequent trimming. Ospreys, wild and grotesque looking, nro an adornment euro.to find high favour, also the various mounts of cor/uo plume, in most surprising -shades—vivid hardly bcinpr theword, for they are simply blazing bits of' colour, and at tho same time most dazzling. . ,

THE DELICACY OF THE HAIR.

Ladies who neglect their hair loso it. Indies who try to preservo their hair by •iperimonting amateurishly with lavish-lv-advcrtised hair washes and mvigorafors run great risks of ruining it. Tho hair is a plant of surpassing delicacy. It Is exposed to many perils. It needs care, attention, scientific treatment. Mrs. Ro:leston is a specialist pt the hair. Hor wide experience has given her an exceptional knowledge of the various forms and degrees of hair trouble. If you consnlt her, sho will tell you candidly jusr. wnat is wrong, and charge yon no tee for tho consultation. If your hair is causing you any anxifity at all. you will do well to bear in mind that you need immediate treatment. Delays are especially dangerous whoio the hair is concerned. Call or write for an appointment.- Mia. Rolleston, 25G Lambton. Quay- Paonf Vβ. ,

the piny by a young widow, who was not too disconsolate over the loss of her husband, the Pierat costume contained just enough mourning to bo correct, with just sufficient contrast in colour to suggest the "resigned" state of the wearer's mind. M. Redfern avers that ho has seen the Pierat dress copied scores of times. But in all cases a more violent contrast of colour or a more daring "cut" gave the frock an entirely now significance. It seems that American women are particularly prone to copy famous models wrongly, and so suggest a new and incongruous idea. In every other respect American women maybe regarded as the best-dressed women in the world. M. Ecdfeni says that "American women are generally well corseted, which is all-important in this matter. They have good figures. They carry themselves well. They wear their fine clothes bettor than anyone else in the world. They are willing to pay the price, and they get the best." Though 11. Redfern is established in Paris, he is an Englishman. There is, accordingly, no reason to regard him as prejudiced against tho fair Londoner or her sister from the Antipodes, who would, doubtless, also like to bo described as the "be~t-dressed women in the world." While upon the subject of Parisian fashions, it may bs added that the sash is having a great vogue in tho French capital. It is generally made of some soft material, such as crepe de chine, and is of a rather lighter shade than the material of tho dress. This soft sash is carried around the waist and then hangs plainly down the side, being bordered with either a fringe or fur. Other sashes are being made of rows of coloured wooden beads, with long ends falling nearly to the feet.

SNUFF AND MOTORIST,

It would be strange if the whirligig of fashion, which has so often threatened to bring round tho crinoline again, should revive tho habit of snufl'-taking, which died out as a fashionable indulgence in England some years ago. Lord Russell of Killoweu was the last great snuff-takcr, unci only certain aged people in workhouses maintained the tradition. But now it seems that motoring is to bring tho habit into renewed lii'c. The motorist has found that ho cannot smoke- with any eomfort when he is motoring, for the swiftness of the motion blows away the scent and tcatters the contents of (ho bo.st pip-a or cigaT. But the confirmed, tobacconist has remoml>ered that the-ro is another and a safer receptacle for the tobacco. And tho new invention is bringing us back to the old habit ul snufftakinj;. Those- ancient snuff-boxes of the collectors will fall in value when their imitations are in every waistcoat pocket.

WOMEN AND A CONFERENCE,

Tho Women's Liberal Conference got along very nicely in llobart (says a writer in an Australian paper). The delegates from the different States realised that theso are not times-for dilettante trilling, and took full advantage of such an opportunity for comparing poinLv of view and preparing to meet the issues ot tho immediate future. About all their discussions of political topics there was a refreshing absence of cant, ami from their tone, it'clearly appeared that women have only to apprehend the objective of thn Labour party to unite in opposition to it. Tho houso.wifo is a good practical economist. The variations in tho purchasing power of the sovereign are nowhere more strikingly shown than in her wrckly accounts, and now that she is taking the trouble to understand the principles regulating the price of living she may Iμ expected to make her political weight morn and more decisively felt. No opposition to industrial unionism was expressed in Hobart. but tho political doctrine of preference to unionists was unreservedly condemned. "Givo Labour the least power,", remarked a South Australian dolegato, "and its inhumanity in tho cause of humanity is atrocious." It was bnely said, and showed how bitterly the Vciran bnrlesmio of Government js Teamed in the speaker's State. On such subjects as taxation and immigration some of these ladies snoko not only with knowledge but with force, for here again practical perFfliial cxneriencß told, and on matters ot this kind no other tutor is half «> food. The claim for the economic independence of married women voiced by a number of those present indicated t> clcchW pr"wenco for the "regular a lovranco. Most men. who try it, probably hnd it .less expensive in the long run to give■ thoir « nes rfixed sum mouthy or weekly, than o their pecuniary is their immediate purpose to influence.

WHAT MAKES THE FROCK,

What is (ho essential in nu epoch-mark-in"gown? According to 11. Ifwlferii, tho famous Parisian dressmaker, it is an idea. To illustrate his point, M. Kcdferu recalls the famous dress worn by Jladawe I'lerar, of thn Comedio I'raiicai-e, in "Lrs Marionettes" It was the first dress d> have the shoulders different-one embroidered and the other plain! But tho essential thing was not this pretty eccentricity. Worn in

BUSINESS LIFE,

WORLD-WIDE GIKTO.X GIRLS.

What Americans call "tho cash and service value" of a university education for women may be inferred from the astonishing record of Ik- after-careers of students which appears at (he end of the year. Women now g«i almost direct from Oxford and from Cambridge int.) ovoiy part, of the world and into a grout varri; y !.f vocations which aro useful to hun.Mi.ity nl Th" o |ollowins is a 1M taken more or ]r« haphazard from tho year-book i>l Girtoii Collesr. and no d.mht I.ady M area rot's or Neivnliam have a< various and striking a record.

It is remarkable how many of those who have gone farthest afield educated either in mathematics or science, while almost all who took modern languages have specialised in teaching.

HISTORY OF THE BALLET.

A book on dancing by Mr. J. E. Flitch endeavours incidentally to race the rise of tho ballet. The tradition of tho ballet soems really to begin with Catherine da Medici, who imported this form of(entertainment into France from Italy. Tho nest important date is 1681, when the composer Luili introduced female dancing; and the next important development was tho work of a woman, "Lα Belle Camargo," who danced during tho first decades of the eigliteoiith century, and invented the short ballet skirt in nlaco of the long and cumbrous "paniers" hitherto worn: In 1772 the danseuv Gardel appeared for the first time without a mask, and the ideas of Noverre, who opened the eyes of that generation, triumphed definitely. To Xoveire is due the ballet d'actiou, or blend of dancing and pantomime, as we enjoy i to-day. Only one question remain.*. AVho invented "pointes"— that is to say, the custom of dancing in n stiffened shoe upon the tip of the straight toe? Mr. Hitch does not say. Only in an old drawing reproduced in Miss Uiiing's recent book, "Dancing Ancient and Modern," is shown Marie Taglioui, who came to London first in 1830. and it is to be noted that she is poised upon the "pointes" of one foot. The evolution of ballet (lancing is thus complete, the art is perfected, and of its perfection Tagliom, in her wreath and her white- skirt, is the eternal symbol. Upon this' theme Mr. T'litch writs: "Taglioni appealed to the spirit rather than to the sense; she seemed less a being of flesh and blood than some creature of the spiritual order, always about to take wing and soar away from the earth."

WITH SILVER i>POON.

Tho wealthiest bachelor in England is engaged to be married, says the English correspondent of. tie 'Australasian." liord Howard de Walden has held this position for more than ten years. It was in 1899 that ho suceraled to the Portland estate;, Jying to the north of Oxford Street, with their rental of .£•250,000 a year. At the ago of 32 Lord Walden has" fallen u victim to the charms of Miss Margherita Van Raalte, a popular and clever young society girl, who recently came of age. Miss Rnalte is also an excellent musician, being one of tho few English pupils of If. Jean do Reszke, tho famous. tenor. Lord Howard is a peer; he is an' expert fencer, and has revived the lost art of hawking. He is also by way of being a minor pcet, having written and produced an Arthurian drama called "Lanval" and an opera, "Dylan," which has been set to music by Mr. Joseph Holbrooke. Lord Howard de Walden was largely interested in Mr. Trench's Repertory Theatre, which made theatrical history by producing Maeterlinck's "Blue Bird." Tho young peer's Marylcbone estate came to him from his grandmother, the si-ster and co-heiress of the eccentric fifth Duke of Portland, of-whom so much was heard during tho Druce case. Lord Howard de Walden is also the owner of valuable estates at Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, the home of the Commonwealth Premier. His town house—37 Belgrave Square—was rebuilt a few year 3 ngo at a cost of £20b--000. However, Lord Howard can afford such extravagances with an income of 11s. Cd. a minute, or .635 an hour. Such arc tho advantages attaching to the position of "the best British bachelor. Lord Howard do Walden is not the only British aristocrat who spends his spare timo upon the construction of opera libretti. In 1897 the Duke of Argyll, the husband of Princess Louise, wrote the libretto of "Diannid," which dealt with the history of a semi-mythieal Celtic hero, identified with the early history of the house of Argyll. King Greorgo's undo has now written a second opera, which may be produced by Mr. Oscar Hammerstein at fiis new London Opera House in the spring. The theme of the Duke's opera is concerned with Fionn, a Celtic king, who falls in love with a beautifnl young Greek girl. The scenes of the opera are laid in Ireland and Carthage. The music has been composed by Mr. F. Learmont Drysdale, a promising young Scottish musician, who died before he completed the orchestration of his work. The pianoforte score is now being prepared for the stage by Mr. David Stephen, an Edinburgh musician. FIVE BOYS ESCAPE CROUP. "During the winter months, my five boys were constantly attacked with colds and croup," savs Jlrs. H. Beauland, "Diitton Lea," 2Howitt Street, Ballarat, Vic. "I tried all sorts of medicines for them, but Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was the only one that would ward oil these attacks. It cured each of my five children. I have used dozens of b'ottles of tliss remedy, and within u quarter of an hour alter starting to give it, I have always been able to break up an attack uf croup." s*
