They were hung along the walls of the central hall, and at the close of. tho service wero taken to the Old Cairo Cemetery—one for each gi'avc. - The service'was short and simple. The crosses were not yet erected on all the graves, but that will be finished soon. They are durable and suitable in every way to mark our soldiers' graves." Mr. and Mrs. T. and Mi\.W.

Qualified, London and Paris. "S.W."—lt is most important to attack dandruff in the first stage, when it is comparatively easy to cure. When once | it has become firmly rooted, the cure is necessarily slow, and in the meantime the hair is robbed of its tone, colour, and luxuriance.

Tho London "Times" Fund for Red Cross Work, The London "Times" Fund, which has been inaugurated on behalf of the British Red Cross Society and the Order of St, John, had. on April 11 (according to an ißSue of "Tho Times" of that date) reached the enormous sum of ,£3,599,993 ss. 9d. This fund is being managed by a joint committee of the St. John Ambulance Association, and the British Red Cross Society, nnd it has benefited very materially from tinio to time by the enthusiastic efforts of the various patriotic leagues of British residents in foreign countries, of 'which a conspicuous example was that afforded by the British , Patriotic League of Peru, which sent .£'lsoo. Quarterly sums of .£250 were being contributed from the London nnd Hiver Plate Bank, as well as from private individuals elsewhere, and from tho members of the Allied nations at Valparaiso had been sent Xlofl as proceeds of a fete, instancing how far spread wero iho efforts to assist iu this (Treat cause of caring for the sick and wounded. For Rod Cross Work, A very successful fathering was held in the KMndallah Public Hall oil Thursday. It was organised by the members of the two Bed Cross Guilds in KhanUallaa for the purpose of obtaining funds for the purchase of material for their work. Evidence of arduous work was shown, in the well-stocked stalls of homemade sweets and cakes, produce of all kinds, plants, vegetables, and a variety of fancy articles, most of which found ready purchasers. The proceedings wero opened by the Mayor, Mr. Crump, who spoke a few words on the great national loss, and the audience stood in silence, ns a tribute to the memory of our great soldier. A short concert programme occupied the first part of the evening, and it was followed by progressive euchre. Grout interest was attached to the salo of a basket of sweets, the basket having Tjeen made by Lance-Corporal Edgar, one of the last men to leave Gallipoli, and now an inmate of tho Military Hospital nt .Newtown. After being sold and resold, it eventually brought in the sum of -C 5 Bs. Gd. The whole sum realised was about «£SO, and great credit was due to all who helped to make the affair such a success. A meeting of the Society , for the Protection of Women and Children was held yesterday afternoon, Mrs. D. M'Laren presiding. There Vere present: Mesdames W. A. Evans, G. Ponsonbv, J. Kirkcaldie J. H.

Williamson's "Mother, Goose" Pantomime, can 1 lay claim to an unique record. ■ Never once has she had her jewels stolen, neither has she been rescued from a fire, but there is. one interesting experience Miss De Venriy can lay claim to of a less excitfng though none tho less interesting nature. Miss De Venny soiiie time ago took part in a performance given by, Chinese ill aid of a particular charity of theirs. She was the only: European artist, and of course the song she gave was rendered in English. . Pew of tho Chinese," said Miss De Venny, "Conld understand the language, and for the first time in my life I gave a performance that was received absolutely without a shred of applause. The Chinese saf stolid all through it, even the rousing and catchy chorus, failed to put any expression into their face 3, but when 1 hail finished there burst forth a babble, of confused sounds, like the clattering of five hundred fowls and ducks mixed up together. Whether the remarks wero eulogistic or not I could net determine, but before I left the boss Chinese of the gathering presented me with a large smre and a huge pot of preserved ginger, , so I must have pleased them to some'extent.
