Women Doctors. Referring to the appeal for funds issued by the London School of Medicine for Women, a woman doctor tells me that the need of women doctors lias long been felt (states a writer in the ''Manchester Guardiaji"). In one week before the war the "British Medical Journal" advertised for eleven women doctors to fill positions left- vacant. One thing that croat-ed the scarcity of women practitioners was the fact that the school medical staffs, when opened to women, at once absorbed so many, and for another tiling many more salaried positions have been created in late years. The result is that women doctors here sending their patients to other towns have often great difficulty in finding women doctors, to whom they can be commended, it is evident now that moro women doctors than ever will bo required, and it is pointed out that already ccrtain general hospitals hitherto closed to women are inviting applications from men or women. It is to be hoped that the London hospitals generally will adjust themselves to the now conditions, and offer women medical students the facilities for walking the wards hitherto confined to men. Still the Same. The war, hideous in itself, has yet brought to light much good, Nvrites a London correspondent in a southern exchange. The truth and reality of the Empire's faithfulness is of the good loyalty of the British peoples to Britain's cause even to the sacrifico of life. The tenderness and generosity of the women of the nation who have cheerfully sacrificed themselves, not onlyl on the battlefield, hut on less glorious campaigns. That class who are supposed to take no interest in anything save personal pleasure a'iid- indulgence have revealed to the world the underlying grit and endurance that has ever made the name of British women revered. Queens and princesses and peeresses of whom we hear so littlo in these days have never slackened through the months of dire sorrow that have passed since the first week in August. There is scarcely a house of what is known as British society which is not in mourning. Little is heard of the mourning, and the bereaved read with tlio pride of all classes the list of gallant deeds on land and sea which show the world that Britons still can die well.

On Saturday Mr. and Mrs. Wilkinson, of Koslyn, who are spending a holiday at North Spit, Otago Heads, celebrated their golden wedding. They wore visited at the Heads by the members of their family, and a very enjoyable day was spent. The ninety-ninth meeting of the Richmond Free Kindergarten Council was held at 125 Moleswortlj Street. Mrs. Gill, president, was in the chair, and present were: Mrs. D. A.

It was proposed by Miss Hclver, seconded by Mrs. Burnett, that the council meetings be held alternately at 125 MolesivortTi Street and the Taranaki Strest Kindergarten.

Bills to the amount of £53 lis. 2d. were passed for payment of salaries, rents, etc, The death occurred suddenly at Rail giotu oil Tuesday of the well-known Hangitane chieftainess, Ema Te Awe Awe, wife of Hare ltakena To Awe Awe, chief of the Rangiotu section of the Kangitane tribe of Natives. The deceased lady was a daughter of the late Hoani Merhana, a familiar figure in tho Manawatu district for many years and a noted chief. The deceased chieftainess was a woiuan of high character ajid kindly demeanour which won for her tho respect of Europeans and Natives alike in tiie Eangiotu settlement. Her husband is one of the best known and mcst widely-respected Maoris on the coast. He was amongst the loyal Natives who fought for the Crown in the second Maori War aud was awarded the New Zealand medal. Hare llakcna is a relation of the late Major Kemp. General sympathy will bo felt for him and his two sous in the death of his wife. Manawaroa Te Awe Awe, the eldest of the sons, is engaged in farming at Rangiotu. A taoigi on a considerable scale is in preparation at llangiotu, and will be attended by Natives all over the district. —"Manawatu Evening Standard."
