After a short business session, the teachers' meeting of the Sunday School adjourned and' resolved itself into a social gathering, the members of the Young Women's Bible Class also being present. The removal of the Bcv. T. Fee from the Thorndon circuit accounts for each body losing ono of its-members. Miss Bessie Fee commenced teaching in tho school soon after her father's appointment to'tho circuit, and Miss Amy Fee- has been connected with tho Bible Class for a similar period. After a little music and a few games had entertained those present, tho party adjourned to supper, which had been laid in tho vestry adjoining. During an interval the superintendent (Mr. T. Sims) presented Miss Feo with an Oxford Teachers' Bible, as a memento of her association with tho school. Mrs. C. W. Bell (leader), on behalf of the Young Women's Class, asked Miss Amy Fee's acceptance of a silver button-hook and shoe-lift as a token of their love and esteem. Both recipients briefly thanked the donors, and the meeting closed with two verses of "God Bo With You." On Sunday afternoon Miss Frethey.'s class gave Miss Myrii Fee a small memento of her association with tho class. The public reading of tho comedy "The Merry Wives of Windsor" by tho Wellington Shakespeare Club is being given in the Sydney Street Schoolroom, April if. WHAT EVERYBODY SHOULD KNOW.

MATTERS OF INTEREST FROM FAR AND NEAR. [Bγ IIIOOEN.I

Mrs. George Pearco is visiting Masterton, and is the guest of Mrs. Sumiuerell.

Mrs. J. Warren, of Tβ Aute, has returned to Haivke's Bay, after a short visit to the Waivarapa.

. -Uio Maoris in I lie old days were n fighting race, ;is the. Europeans' found to their cost nn many a li.-ml-fouglil: fi,-l<l. ]l would appear ihat contact with llu< white man has brought' them neither degeneracy nor encmimie}- (says an Auckland exchange), and (lie old spirit militant is as .-■trougly imbued in them as it was in the days of Rangiriii, tlic Gate l'a, or Ornlinii. .llio .Maori could not: bo a "pnssivc resister," oven if his womenfolk, would lot him, which they do not. Over the honours board at St. Stephen's Maori School, lai-noll, .hero is graven in tho kauri framework tho noble, inspiring old motto, "For God, for King, and for country." Probably a glance ab this patriotic legend reminded members of tho conference of Hie Young Maori Parly of the pitiable, displays made by some European youths in tho Police Courts recently, tor they passed, tho following resolution with chrer.s. that "made, tho welkin ring":— "That this conference expresses its pleasure that there have been no cases of Maoris objecting to discharge their duties as citizens under tho Defence Act." Madame Molba and the Jealous Horse, Jladame Molba was at the Royal Agricisitural Show last week (says the "Telegraph"), and accompanied by Lord Chelmsford and Sir John Fuller, Governor of Victoria, she went out into the middle of the ring to have a nearer view of the side-saddle hunting contest, ono of the big events of the day. The party watched the lady riders with interest, and when the three placed horses were ridden up to the judge's stand to be decorated, Madame Melba approached and offered her congratulations to the winner, Jlrs. Staec, a well-known show rider, whose mount was Mr, V* J. '.Partington's Cambo. While niadame was patting Cambo's neck, the second horse, ridden by Mrs. Moore, became' restless, or, as a horsey man put it, "lie got jealous." Anyway, the liorsc danced about, rearing and plunging, and ono of the oflicials, seeing danger, shouted out, "That woman will get hurt." Madame had not escaped. The jealous horse had slewed round, and before anybody had realised what was happening, had placed a heavy hind hoof on madame's left foot. When attention was turned upon her, inadame, very pale, was resting her paining foot on tho lowest step of the judge's' dais, and it seemed that she would faint. But presently k be laughed, and in renl.y to anxious inquiries, said, "Oh, I am' ail right, thank you. It was only one of thoso Australian horses showing his ati'ection for me. Uiit ho was rather rude." Sir I'rancis Sajttor prollered a chair, and madanie sank into it. She recovered quickly, and appeared to be none tho worse for her slight injury. Indeed, she appenred to bo in the best of spirits, for, a few minutes later, she turned to one of the party, and, displaying her injured foot, remarked laughingly, "I only got a lucky mark!" ■ On tho top of her tnn shoe, and reach ing round towards tho instep was the curved impression of a horse's hoof. . Mrs. Burge, who has been spending some weeks in Wellington, left for Auckland last week.

Mr. and Mrs. Hayward (Hutt) have returned from their visit to the south. Miss Ina Leo is the guest of Mrs. Donald, Masterton. THE MORNING CAP. Tho cap has certainly arrived as a necessary complement to the dressing Rown or. jacket. A very short trip on an ocean liner will prove this statement, and though the becoming mob cap matching the kimono is rarely seen except in the liciphknvrhood of tho bathroom in the early morning, it is a properly recognised item in tho modern outfit'both of the traveller and of tho woman who stays at home. It is to bo seen in large numbers in the corridors of any hotel in the morning, and it lias certainly not come before, it was needed. Tho simplest form of cap is a circle of material made with a running string of ribbon tied in a bow after it has been drawn tight enough to fit the head. The introduction of a. frill of lace under tho brim, or a scalloped edge to the material itself, makes the cap very becoming. It is usually a prettily figured cambric, a spotted cambric looking particularly well Its introduction has certainly done awav with the furtive look of "tho avcrago woman traveller eiv route for the bathroom, and its introduction into the privacy of home life is by no means to be cavilled at.
