(By Imogen.)

Mackenzie, lfls.; Mrs. J. Butche«m, il; Lady Ward. -El; Mrs. Blundell, eggs. Dispatched to London. There have been sent away to London from the Bed Crosa Depot in Mercer Street during the past week tho following cases of goods:—3s underpants, 230 pairs socks 10 triangular bandages, 2G90 roller bandages, 5465 swabs, IC3 abdominal pacltagra, G5 underpants, 300 pyjamas, 140 undershirts, 05 bed jackets, 500 eye bandages, 116 macy-tailed bandages. 85 T bandages, 175 feeders, 10 faco cloths, old linen, 86 arm slings, 20 flat swabs. 42 milk jug covers, 50 bandages, 70 undervests, 00 'fomentation flannels, 00 T bandages, 10 surgical veils, 90 cap bandages, 20 Italyn slings, 160 eye bandages, 150 pains H.IC. sock 6, 70 warm ehirts, G5 underpants, case mixed com forte. Soldiers' Club Dance. It is hardly necessary to give a reminder of tho dance for the Fifteenth Reinforcements at the .Soldiers' Club, Sydney Street, to-mwrovr "evening. Tl(eso dances are so very popular that they aro always well patronised and greatly enjoyed. Ono of tho difficulties met with by the club committee when the dances were at first instituted was to ensure tho attendance of the requisite number of lady dancers. Sometimes theiTiverc too many for tho limited capacity of the hall, and sometimes, though this was seldom tho case, too few attended. This trouble has now been quite overcome by tho introduction of n ticket system. The names of a large number of young ladies willing to attend when required have been obtained, and tickets issued to these, and a sufficient number are notified when their attendance is required. No ladies aro admitted unless they possess these tickets. At■ the present limo rather moro than the necessary number of tickets have been issued, and in consequence the committee is not in a position to issuo auy more; indeed, it has been reluctantly compelled to declino offers from ladies anxious to assist at tho dances. Should any vacancies occur, the committee will make tho fact known, but ths list is alieady over largo, and in consequenco it is likely to bo some little time before it. will bo possible to even consider applications for tickets. If the room asido for dnucing at tho Soldiers' Club, were anything like as large as, fay, tho Town Hall, wnere, by the way, thoro are to be a couple of dances duriiig next week, tho position would be very different.

Khandallah Detjating Society. "That Tennyson is our greatest National Poet since Shakespeare" was tho subject of a debate by members of tho above society on Tuesday Inst. Tho affirmative was taken by Mr. E. Cowles, who was supported by Mr. and Mrs. Clitudo Jones, while tho negative was taken by Messrs. George Ilogben and It. L. James. Tho negative speakers held that Milton and Shelley were poets of a higher grado than Tennyson. The debate which was very interesting and instructive, was handled most ably by both sides, and quotations were mado Jrout sorno of the best works ot several poets, Oil the motion being put, the affirmative was lost. i Funds for Red Cross Work. At a meeting of the executivo of tiie Wellington Centro of tho Order of St. John and British Bod Cross Society, held ou Wednesday evening, tho following business was done, reports tlio hon. secretary, Mr. J. W. Bridge:—lt was decided to co-operato with the other branches in making a great collection on October 19, which is fixed as ft lied Cross Day throughout tho Umpire, upon which day a special appeal will be made for the benefit of the sick and wounded at all seats of the war. The meeting also resolved that a further sum of £1000 1m remitted out of tho funds of the society 'to the New Zealand War.Contingent Association, to be devoted to Red Cross purposes. It was also decided to spend JJSO in supplying condensed milk and meat essences to the hospitals in India, a letter having been rend from the Viceroy oi India, indicating that such gifts would be very acceptable. The statement was made that arrangements were well under way for joining in the "New Zealand Red Cross Record" to bo published in August.

The Japanese at Rotorua. Tho welcome extended to Admiral Mateiumu'ii and his officers by the Maoris at Hotoruu was thoroughly characterislic ot' tile Natives. Upon ttieir arrival at tho model pa, tlio Chiefs Mita Taupopoki ami Kiwi Awohau wero in charge of a largo gathering of tho Ar.iwa people. Tho women chanting the welcome in Maori: "Welcome to the illustrious visitors from across tho great oceim of KiwaPacific," gradually tell back behind tho warriors as the Admiral arid Ministerial party advanced through tho gates. For a moment the warriors crouched, silent, and then with dramatic suddenness broke into ;i stirring lmka. This concluded, Kiwi Amohau delivered a speech of welcome, it being translated by the Rev. I-'. A. Bennett. He said: "Thrice wel-, come; very great is our joy that we are' able to eeo you to-day in New Zealand. We welcome you because you have helped us in great trouble. Wo have sent our young men across the ocean, and they have journeyed safely because of your protection and watchfulness. We owe you a great debt, which cannot be. paid in money. This is our day of trouble, and you have come to our assistance. In. your day of trouble we will shed our blood for you." The ceremony was concluded after Mita Taupopoki and the Japanese Admiral had spoken, with a graceful poi dance by young Maori girls, who, when they hail imished, advanced towards the Admiral, and, taking off their flax and raupo mats, laid them at liis feet, together with their poi balls. Mita Taupopoki also presented a beautifullywoven. mat of white fibre. In return,Admiral Matsumura presented to Mita, for his people,--some beautiful pictures of the famous Japanese mountain Fusi. By tho time the Japanese were ready to board the train on the homeward journey they had acquired quite a considerable M'aori vocabulary, and there was an exchango of "Kia Ora'sl" and "Kapai the Maori!'' as the "special" drew out of tho station. On the train, the officers and cadets expressed a desire to learn some English songs, and, 'with their characteristic aptness to learn, they made remarkable progress under the tuition of Messrs. Jas. Ilislop arid .Ernest Davis, and before long, to their groat delight, they were wonderfully proficient in "Ile'6 a Jolly Good Fellow," "Tipperary," and "Anld Lang Syne." A performance given in the Ministerial car for the delectation of the party there | was evidently much appreciated.

Women and Thrift. A discussion on thrift took place at a. meeting; of women »t Government House, states Hie Sydney correspondent of tho "Argus." Miss Ruth Beale said the Federal Government; should prohibit the importation of luxuries and food producible here, thus relieving the space on ships for neoessaries. The decreased sum spent in liquor owing to fl o'clock closing would l)o approximately .61,000,00(1. This should bo used for useful purposes. Mrs. Bogue Luffmau advocated economy in. housekeeping. There was no country iu tho world where economy was so little known as it was here. It was vulgar to waste, and well bred to economise. Mrs. Dickson expressed tho opinion that, women should wear pretty clothes and make the homes bright and attractive for their husbands. Resolutions were passed in favour of establishing classes of domestic economy, .and if' possible preventing the use of imported cereals. Lady M'Lean, who had been visiting Miss Holmes, has returned to Dunedin.Tho twenty Australian nurses who aTe being given to France by the. New South Wales Red Cross Society are to leave next week, states tho "Australasian" of July 8. Several of them have dTready seen service at the front. Tho socn. 1 had nearly 100 applicants to choose from. A knowledge of French is essential, so a ; French lady (Madame Niau) is accompanying the little band, and will help them to brush up their French during Ihe voyage. Many Red Cross ladies have railed against the uniform worn by military nurses as both inconvenient and ugly. Now they have had the pleasure of conspiring to mould something nearer to.their hearts' desire. The costume chosen is simple and -pleasing—for • indoors, <lark blue zephyr, with a small stripe in it, and a white belt; for out of doors, a neat skirt and belted coat of dark blue cloth, with narrow "facings of light blue, dark blue felt hats with band of light blue, and big military overcoats for stormy weather. The A.J.C. has generously come forward with a substantial, contribution, which will meet the maintenance expenses of the twenty nurses for sis,months. Mrs. 't.
