Two King Country nurses came in for unexpected good fortune a few dnys ago (says a exchange).

The lady in question has since died, and what was tho surprise of the nurses to hear that the lady had thought of them to the extent of i£2so for ono nurse and .£l5O for another in her bequests. Ono of the fortunate nurees' lives at present not far from Taumarunui.

The l'oung Women's League, who are working; in connection with the National Prohibition Campaign, Rave an afternoon yesterday at the Y.W.C.A. Rooms in Herbert Street, at which Mrs. A. E. Atkinson was the speaker. The president, Miss Korshaiv, welcomed the speaker and tho latter gave an intercstin'-' address covering many points. The steady growth of the liquor traffic was traced and the necessity in tho speaker's mind of voting against State control was earnestly m-fied upon her hearers. The financial burden already resting upon this country was, sho said, as much as it could carry, and' to add to it by State control vas uncalled for and most prejudicial to the country's interests. This was no timo for costly experimenting. Mrs. Atkinson closed her address with an earnest appeal to all to do their best in the prohibition interests during the next few weeks. Afternoon tea, which was in tho charge of the Ladies' Entertainment Committee, was handed around, and sonio musical and elocutionary items were much enjoyed, those contributing being Miss Fyi'e, Mrs. Kerry, and Miss Martin, who sang, and Miss Allen, who recited. Miss Adams, the honorary secretary of the league, did much to assist with the arrangements.
