Miss May. Shirley, of Napier, who has been studying massage at Guy's Hospital, London, for some time, hopes later on to pot attached to some military ' hospital. "Did the Zeppelin raid's bother you much?" said a visitor to his London hostess. "We had a dreadful time. You see my husband insisted that a bucket of water be kept under every bed— according to tho official instructions. And one day tho baby found, them. We've had to have the drawing-room and difl-i.'ig-r-jwn ceilings rewhitened." T/e fatler of a young soldier now on active setvico did a little grumiiirg ai'.jut Ins sen's letters in a con/ir'-a;ion with a friend recently (says an exchange). His _ observations may well serve as a hint to other sons at the front. "It is not altogether the censor's fault," ho said. "Of course we are not allowed to know where tho boy is. We should dearly like to know, but we expect that. The worst offender is the boy himself. We want to know all about him, what he eats and drinks, what kind of sleeping and other accommodation he has, what he likes and dislikes about the life —in fact, a picturo in details of his every-day experiences. Here is a letter I got last week. A description of a Mediterranean sunset. It is good literature, but I have seen a Mediterranean sunset myself, and, anyhow, I don't want to know anything about it. I want to know something about him. The only personal touch is that he is reading 'Richard Feverel, and his comrade 'Sense and Sensibility.' After all, that tells you something about the New Army. But his mother and I' are hungry for more." Mothers should not miss seeing our big range of tweed fancy suits, for boys from three years to seven years.

Hutt Patriotic Guild. At a recent meeting of the Hutt Patriotic Guild, the secretary (Miss Stuart-Forbes) reported that the interest in the objects of the guild had been well maintained by the members, who numbered now well over 100. The net proceeds of the Hutt patriotic shop, which had been opened four times, was £45. As a result of tie activity of willing workers, a liberal supply of pyjamas, lied jackets, bandages, "housewives," hold-alls, et-c., had been forwarded to the City Town Hall Depot. It was decided to form a sub-committoe to cooperate with the Wellington Committee, to give assistance at tho Wellington Soldiers' Club. The Napier Ladies' Equipment Fund Cofninittee is appealing for funds. Each man's kit costs approximately £4, which means that £2000 a month is required for kits alone. Unless funds are forthcoming the distribution of kits will have to cease, or the value of each reduced.
