Mrs. Pethrick Lawrence's Visit. A Neiv Zealand woman, writing from ■ London, speaks of Mrs. Pethrick Lawrence, who with Mr. Pethrick Lawrence, had planned, at the time of writing, to leave on a tour of Australasia, as being "one of the finest women speakers on the Suffrage platform; she i roaches on occasion a level that I think no other woman does reach. Mr. Pethrick Lawrence, of course, has niado more sacrifices for the women's causo than any other man in England, and any woman, whether a Sulfragist or not, should bo glad to welcome them to tho country. They can tell a story of tho militant movement that no ono else can, because they have been connected with it from the beginning. They havo stood aside from tho militancy that has developed since they ceased to be members of the W.S.P.U., and they criticise no societys'but aro sympathetic to all." Tho visit to New Zealand is part of a tour of investigation of social conditoins in as many countries as can be covered in seven months.. Possibly the war may have altered their plans. That, however, remains to be seen. The Bells of Mallnes. ■ It wea announced in MondajpY cablegrams that the peal of bells in the cathedral of St. Rombart in Malines had been destroyed by the Germans. These famous carillon peals comprise as many as 40 or 50 bells. Every quarter, of. an hour they play for half a minute, not the ordinary peals as we know them, but some phrase of music with full harmonies, four or five bells sometimes being struck together in the same chord. At the hour the chimes will sometimes play for five minutes, perhaps a snatch ■ from some welUoiown. opera or oratorio.' These peals can bo played from a keyboard like a piano, bnt the ordinary hourly chimes are of ooflrse regu- 1 lated by clockwork. • Of the towns that bavo already come into this war, Ghent, liouvain, Antwerp, and Malinos, all have famous chimes, and Tournai possess another. But of all the chimes in the world the most equisito are those of Bruges and of Malines. To sip one s coffee under* an awning in the old cobbled market square, with the antiquated shops on three sides of-it, and that beautiful cathedra] tower, 320 ft. high, pwiling out this silver music through its ancient windows, is one of tile rarest pleasures that aro open to tho tourist on the Continent.
