The Fashionable Flower, Like all other things, there aro fashions in flowers, ana at the present moment begonias are securing much attention from flower-growers, tho last tlireo .years introducing several very beautiful varieties. In the collection shown at the iiarori and ilakara flower show, which was held at Karori yesterday afternoon, wero some very lovely specimens, very large in sizo and of exquisite colouring, tho beauty of the t'riiled singles being much commented upon. Among the more noticeable was tiie Prince Imperial, of a, beautiful shape, very large and in colour of a vivid rich crimson. Equally lovely was the "Bliss Jeffries," salmon pink in colour, also the champion flowor, "Hrs. \V. A!. Jackson," and "The Bride," delicately pink and white in colour. Tho hanging begonias (fluer do chrysanthemum) wnoso flowers wero just liko tiny, shaggy clirysaiithcmums, wero equally beautiful, the "Shower of Gold," so far counted to be tho best which has yet been brought out, being admirably suited to its name. It should bo interesting to watch tho changes in form and colour and sizo which tho next few years will briiig about in regard to begonias. What Bombardment Means.

'"The piece in Mastorton of threo elderly ladies, residents of Scarborough, England, has been very anxious to hear that no harm had come to her aunts through the German bombardment of the place, and the last 'Frisco mail brought news of their safety, states the Maste'rton "Age." About eight o'clock ou the morning of December 16 last a shell from what appeared to be the- first shot fired, foil upon tne ariye, * few yards from the house, shattering tho sido wall, and causing a great pari of tho ceiling of tho bedroom, in which ono of tho ladies lay ill, to collapse. The chimneys were all down, windows broken, and the carriage drive three feet deep in bricks. Tho old ladies and uiaCJs hastily retired to the cellar, but finding the cold unbearable, ventured to spend fho three-quartere of an hour of suspenso in the drawing-room, fearing that any minute the house might be brought down upon them by another shell. To their immeuso relief, however, tKe firing' ceased, and they, along with many others in the west end of ihe town, left by speciaj train for Harrogate, where they arrived more dead iha.il alive, from fright and exposure. Here, al the "Hydro," they met Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Kinsey, of Christchurch. It is remarkable that about the first shot fired should have lighted upon the residence- of throe helpless old ladies.
