Children's Sale of Work. The Worser Hay School held a small Bale of work on Friday, May ÜB, in aid of the Mayor's New Belgian Fund. Tho sale, which was opened by the Mayor of Miramar, Mr. F. Townsend, was organised by a committee of boys and girls belonging to Standard VI. The attendance of parents and friends was very Rood indeed, and the sum of thirty pounds was raised.

Patriotic Suffragettes. "The Suffragette," the weekly organ of the W.S.P.TJ., which was suspended when the waT began, resumed publication on ■ April 16. The issue- of that date la in accordance with the traditions of "The Suffragette," full of flght —this time on behalf of England generally, and not for any section of its people. Among its special features are articles b.v Stephen Graham, on "Unasian Women and the War," and by Miss Christabel Pankhurst, on "Amer-■ ica and the Peace Terms." In the editorial columns it is vigorously asserted that "We suffragettes are no believers in that sham internationalism. With Mazzini we believe that 'our country is the token of the mission which God has given us to fulfil to humanity.' Our country, as Mazzini expressed it, is our temple, and he who seeks by force to destroy it, is our enemy, and we must resist him. having as our warrant and justification for such resistance the example of Christ, who drove out the money-changers from tlie temple, with a whip of small cords."
