There has been some comment on the matter of raffle-drawing by those who have not heard the names or winning numbers of raffles in which they have invested. "It should be a point of honour, writes a correspondent, "to draw all raffles in public, and (according to law) in the presence of a police officer. It is hardly fair to investors that only the winner should be advised as to the result, •this is a matter which tho Patriotic Soxf atten< l to in respect to the rattles that are sure to be associated with next weeks bazaar at the Town Hall." J. C. WILLIAMSON'S MATINEE. Yesterday a large party of the ladies of the J. C.

SONS IN TH E JcUiiUU. ANOTHER VIEW. . (To the Editor.) 1 . Sir,-Many will be sorely hurt at the ] imputations conveyed in Archdeacon Har- ' pers letter oh the Carnival, and the 1 munner in which the money-raising cam- 1 paign has been conducted on the part of i tho ladios particularly. In his discovery < of sickening evil, and a deep-dyed stain j m it all, I hardly think that the worthy < divine takes a correct view of what is l going on and the admirable spirit that , surges behind it. Suggest in normal ' times to a young lady that she should ! bJack her iace and paint big white rings round lier eyes, and, so disguised, walk I through the City streets, and sho would i probably tluak you mad and cut you off 1 her nodding list. Toll the same girl and ( a feiv ot her friends to do the samo thing r for the benefit of the Wounded Soldiers' r iund, and they would probably do it with i an enthusiasm that would command sue- , cess. I hero are those who will be deeply hurt at tho insinuation in the Arch- c deacon s letter—good hard-working girls ' from the factories and the shops who agreed to dress up wholly and solely for 6 the cause. People will not give when s th« are miserable, therefore, there is a t cheer-up note right through tho Car- f nival which is largely responsible for- the i generous response that is being made. The , gaiety may be only a veneer, but, kept i going, it accounts for "something doing" ! and prevents many people from becoming ' melancholy over worries that must bo ( borno with a smiling face. To encourage i people to be dreadfully serious might 1 easily induce a dangerous 6tate of despond- i ency, and a debt of gratitude is duo to ( the apostles of "cheer up" for havin" < % leD . d !l a Canii ™l for thS 1 ultimate benefit ot those who fall by the , way or their dependents. I am, etc EVIL Bli TO HIM WHO EVIL THINKS. '
