Mrs. Winston Churchill.

Sirs. Winston Churchill is a really brilliant woman, and well educated, a witty speaker well informed (writes a ' London correspondent). When first she married she went to a variety of public meetings, opened institutions,- making witty speeches, and covered herself with glory. Quito suddenly all this was stopped, and now she shines only in the domestic horizon and in the reflected splendour of Winston. It is the story of Mrs. Chamberlain over again, Winston, like all men, loving the early Victorian— the little puss who is coaxing and smiling, wheedling and dependent. Mrs. L.

The patron, Mr. H. A. W. M'lvenzie, and the vice-presi-dent, Mr. M. "W. Welch, voiced the regret ' that all felt at loosing the comradeship of a member so deservedly popular as Mr, Boyes, and they felt sure' that be would "return covered with glory to again play on the courts. After three hearty cheers had been given at tho suggestion of the patron, Mr. Boyes replied. The telegraph poles presented by Mr. H. A. W. M'Kenzie for girls' swings at the Taita School were placed in position on Saturday afternoon, under the supervision of Mr. Constable, and will supply a long-felt want. ■ Mrs. John Blundell is visiting Mrs. Frank Blundell (New Plymouth).
