"PUNCH'S" HONOURS.

'An English - correspondent of the "Australasian" writes that it has been said that" the supreme test of success m England is to bo caricatured in "Punch. "Mary Gaunt" has not achieved this distinction, but she' is the heroine of a whole-page article. A weeks ago I mentioned Mrs. Millar's approaching visit to China,' and-the fact that she'was'to travel there for a year under the general direction of her brother-in-law, Dr. Mor-. rison, o? Peking. It will be remembered that the Victorian novelist announced her | intention of carrying a revolver, - though she admitted that sho -was not verr certain Ww it sAiowld \>a \ised,-. IKe whimsicality o? the Wen. has moved Mr .'"PuhcJv" to sundry reflections. He pieffcures "Mrs: Gflitmrne, a famous novelist, taking lessons in tho use. of the blow-pipe, prior to a trip in the wiltls of New Guinea. Uily Gladp Strutt-Jenkinson, an authori it.y -upon itiNvmaxriag© laws, is smiionmrad ,as departing for tho Solomon Islands. At the urgent request of. her publishers she Has "equipped herself with a battery of boomerangs." At a farewell dinner, given by her publishers, Lady Gladys entertains the company with an exhibition of lior command over the elusive wenpon. In the course of the demonstration Lady Gladys brings, down three men, including tho head waiter, in as many shots. Fortunately, adds Mr* "Punch." tho boomerangs wero richly padded. There is much good-humoured chaff in the'same strain fit "Mary Gauntfs" expense. However, she. is not, likely to mind. The skit may help to sell many copies of her nest book. ■
