Naw Zealand Womsn Doctors and ths War. Dr. Emily Siedeberg, of Dunedin, who left Auckland early in the week for service abroad ,is not the first of New Zealand's women doctors who have answered to the call that so many countries are sending out to-day. Dr. Agues Bennett, of this city, was the first to go, and she left in March to work on the staff of the French Red 'Gross. Since then Dr.-Helen Cowie, of Masterton, left with her husband for London, with the intention of offering her vices for work at the front. Dr. Siedeberg is a New Zealander by birth, and her services have been accepted by one of the great women's associations of. England, which, under the direction of Dr. Garrett- Anderson and Dr. Flora Murray, organised collections unci established hospitals with an entire personnel of women in Antwerp, Paris, Boulogne, and other French centres. So successful has been their work for the wounded that the British War Office recently conferred on Dr. Garrett Anderson the rank of major in recognition of hor services, and requested lior to leave her work in Franco in order to establish,a hospital for the accommodation of 6000 wounded in London, the hospital to be staffed by women throughout, This association also sent several women doctors to Servia rocentlj' in reply to the call for help.

Attractions at the Bazaar. There surely never were so many opportunities offered people of winning: nil sorts of delightful things ns at the Oarnival Bazaar, which is now running its course in the Town Hail. I'or sixpence, and sixpence only, one stands the chance of a trip to Rotorua, aiuWor tho extremely modest sum of Ibrcopcnce the woman who is IncUy enough tn hny iho winning ticket may order a costume for six pounds. For threepence there was a chance of winning a morris chair, and for a penny thoro were equally surprising chances offered. I lie stalls hud a great variety of articles with which to tempt people for the benefit of the cause, and many attractions were to be found on the St. John A'mlnilauco and j(ed Cross stalls, both downstairs ami upstairs. Tho jewellery stall was another at which some quaint and uncommon things were *0 be' found at surprisingly low prices, among them being some very pretty bead and shell necklaces, Fomo of wliich came from Samoa, some charming little broodies suitable for children, some beautifully coloured enamel work, and muni) 'silverware. The bead necklaces with their gay colours would most certainly vejoice the heart of any child, and grown-ups for that matter, as they could be used in a variety of ways. The fish pond, under the direction of Mrs. Morton Clark, Miss Wheelor, and the Misses Morton Clark, offered many prizes for the successful anglers, and upstairs the fortune-tellers and tho toarooms attracted many callers.

Melba, Dolores, and Amy Castlos. Amy Castles and her concerts have helped to remind a good many people that there was onco a time when something was thought about besides war fund entertainments and the needs of soldiers on acttvo service, stales a writer in an Australian paper. Popular as this singer lias been for years, it is quite evident that her real development has boon slow, and that it is only now that her voice lias attained its full powers. Always sympathetic and rich; it has now an arresting quality it lacked before. She, herself, is looking a splendid example of young womanhood. She is a kindly woman, simple, and unaffected, and not the least concerned about the slippery rungs of society's ladder. Hence much of her popularity as an ,in- : dividual as well as an artist. Hor con- ( certs have now been remarkably well attended. Another popular singer ivlio is seen frequently about town, and at houseß where hor countrywomen . are working hard for their soldiers, is Mdle. Dolores. She intends giving a concert before long, but, like the largo majority of artists, has small heart for personal successes. A story, apropos of this, is going tlio rounds about llolba. Very few women in Australia has lost more friends through the war than the prima donna has done. She admits frankly that London, without them, will seem a, sorry place. Yot it would be impossible to single out any artist who individually has done more for the war funds than Melba. A littlo while ago sho was rvl the house of another artist, a well-bc loved painter who has been cruelly "downed", by the war. He was looking as wretched as bo felt when the singer announced in characteristic fashion, "You must paint my portrait." "My Godl" exclaimed the artist, "I can't- paint." Melba looked at him astounded, and "My God! I can't sing!" she''exclaimed so suddenly and so emphatically that the artist could not resist the implication. In such a manner the singer did more to reinspire her brother-worker than all the sermons on earth could ever have done.

'There was a good attendance of members, and a very interesting lecture upon wounds and their treatment was given by Dr. Giose.n.
