I For Soldiers in Hospital. Parcels containing pyjamas and nightshirts from the ladies of Takapau, ivho made them from material supplied by Mrs. Sydney Johnston, havo been received by Mrs. Moorhouso for the uso of the sick and wounded. Mrs. Moorhouso also received from tho ladies of Otano (Hnwko's Bay) two cases of all sorts of comforts and necessities, including blankets and sheets, all of which were forwarded to St. John Gate, London, by the Knight Templar, while on Tuesday from the same source sho also received a supply of socks, bandages, and other articles for the same object.

The Women's Citizen Committee met at the Town Hall on Tuesday. There were present: The Mayoress (in the chair) and Mesdames Hosking, Nathan, BlundeJl, Moorhouso, Preston, Townsend, and Tripp (hon. treasurer), and Miss Sybil Nathan (hon. secretary). Owing to the generosity of the people of the Dominion, more beds have been donated than the number asked f.-r by the military authorities. It was proposed by Mrs. Nathan, and seconded by Mrs. Blundell, "That a tablet with the nomes of the donors of beds be placed inside the main ward of t-be hospital, instead of the proposed name plates on the beds." This resolution was carried. The committee feel sure that subscribers will approve of this plan, as it enables the committee to fully furnish the hospital as a gift from tho .women of the Dominion. More Kindergartens, Less Coif. At the annual meeting which was held in connection with the Richmond Free Kindergartens last evening, Miss Riley, headmistress of the schools, spoke of the urgent necessity of getting more students. "Thore are so many girls in Wellington who could give an hour or so once or twice a week to the kindergartens. Of course," she sai<L "there are mimbers who ar3 in offices, in schools, in various other occupations,, but there are others who go out to go'f at Heretaunga and Miramar practically every day. If they would only give cne morning it would bo something, bnt they seem to be settled thoro, so we must turn elsewhere for help." She also spoke strongly of the necessity for more kindergartens. They were greatly needed, for they had had to turn away so many small children, all for want of room. She was sure the country would regret it some day unless they wero assisted in this matter. Mrs. Mackenzie (Karori) has returned from Auckland, Miss Alleyne, matron of the Boys' College, Wanganui, has resigned her position, and leaves for England by the Turakina on May 25, to offer her services to the War Office.
