"Blue Birds" in the Blues. Tho cold nights and changeable, days which liavo been experienced in Wellington 1 of lato have been very unkind to the ladies and children of tho "Blue Bird" Company. Miss Irby Marshall ("Night") commenced the season with a cold, and though she ought to bo inured to the vagaries of tho nights (to be consistent with the role she plays so powerfully), she has had a good deal of trouble in shaking it olf. In tho middle of'it all her pretty four-year-old Billy, who is ■everybody's favourite (Miss Marshall is Mrs. Leonard Willey in private life), developed larynpitis, and had to bo taken to tho Hospital. For a time it was thought to bo an incipient diphtheria, and Miss Marshall received a great shock on her return to the hotel from tho Hospital to find that her room had been fumigated. Fortunately, "Billy" recovered quickly, and left tho Hospital 011 Tuesday, much to tho rcgrot of tho nursing staff. Miss Nellio Calvin has also been very ill, and should not (if tho doctor's orders were olieyed) have appeared for at least a week, but slio was only away two or threo nights. As tho little children have to run about barefooted and scantily clad in several scenes, the.v liavo suffered a good denl from colds and sore throats. Tho "Palaco of Night" is enough to give anyone a cold.

Girls' Hostel at Opawa. An important function was tho opening of the Girls' Hostel at Opawa, Christcliurch, on Monday, April !!8. Tho completion of this fine building is tho crowning work of the domestic instruction system in connection with the Technical College. It is tho first institution of the kind in New Zealand, the idea being that, after the student has learned the theoretical part at tho Technical School she may also qualify in a practical way. Girls in residence at the hostel will learn not merely domestic hygiene and the art of cooking, but tho whole routine of a wellordoreil home. Part of the hostel is a self-contained flat, whore candidates will have to livo for some fixed time, buying their stores from the general storeroom, keeping accounts, showing their capacity; for providing a varied diet at economical rates, and having their rooms iri order, Tho hostel is beautifully designed, with large entranco hall, on the left of which is tho principal's rooms, and large dining : rooms, with housemaid's pantry adjacent; Tho large kitchen for instruction in cookery by gas, oil, and electricity, have sculleries attached. Off tho main kitchen is tho larder and dry store, from which weighed and priced quantities of tho materials to be used will be handed to the students preparing the meais. At the. corner o'l tho hall, under the stairs, is tho students' entrance, which leads into a lavatory, cloak-room, and boot-room. The door at the foot of the stairs leads to that part of tho hostel "which is arranged as a small cottage, baring two bedrooms, sitting-room, kitchen, bathroom, scullery, and pantry. Tho corridor leading from the students' entrance to the flat porch connects with the second main coal stores and tho box room. The back verandah leads to the laundry, which is fitted with ironingstove, two coal boilers, and one gas boiler. ' When students have completed their courso in tho hostel itself, they will (in pairs) l>e placed in charge of the cottage, and required to put into practice what they have just learnt. This will bo the final, test.

Tho successful completion of this splendid iustitute is due to the efforts of Mrs. C. Bowen, Mrs. Ilea ton Rhodes, Mrs. Hurst Seager, Miss Colborno Veel (whose father was one of tho promoters of the Technical School of Christehurch).
