Some of us suffer from the high cost of liv me; others from the cost of high living.

Mr. and Mrs. Leo Buckeridge returned from Nelson last night. j A committee meeting in connection with the coming fete for the Society for the Health of Women and Children was held yesterday afternoon at the Prime Minister's residence. The grounds were inspected, and proved admirably suited for the purposes of the entertainment. They are very beautiful at present, tho hydrangea* being ©till in rich blossom, and the spacious lawn, bordered with a varied setting of flowers. Every encouragement ie being received from the public, and, given fair weather, the affair promises to Be a huge success. Fourteen piizes, all worth winning, are being offered in connection with tie baby chow, and recently two prizes have been presented for the two most creditable pairs of twins. I A delightful children's dance was given at Day's Bay House on Saturday last, tho hostess being Mrs. D. M. Findlay. During the day the youngsters were on tip toe of excitement, booking their partners for the respective dartcea. Punctually at 8 p.m. the children assembled on the veraoidah, and marched with their partners into the drawingroom. A merry times was spent, and during the evening suppeT was served on tho verandah, after which Miss Kathleen Smith presented Mrs. Vindlay with a bouquet of roses. Mie* Marian Findlay, who assisted her mother in entoTtaining her little friends, wore a dainty white muslin, frock. Mt. H. W. Kersley, in a happy little speech, proposed the health of Mr. and Mrs. Findlay, to which Mr. Findlay suitably responded. At 10 o'clock the pleasant "function was brought to a close by three cheers for the host and hostess. For the first time in English history a woman has been admitted by the Royal College of Surgeons as lady licentiate in dental surgery, and in the honour done to and earned by Miss Lily Fanny Pain all Englishwomen are honoured. By this most important step forward and upward in the mental emancipation and social evolution of women not only is a new and hoAourable career and profitable profession opened out to intelligent and capable women, but an opportunity of obtaining skilled care and attention in what is only too often a painful and distressing necessity is given to children and to women from one of their own sex. America claims the champion typist of the world in the person of Miss Florence E. Wilson, New York. At a contest in that city Miss Wilson typed for an hour at the rate- of 124 words a minute. At the end of that time the judges counted her mistakes, figured her score, and decided she is the champion of the world. Her record, with subtractions for mistakes, is 117 words a minute. This young girl, who is 18 years' of age, has been type-writing for more than three years. Every day for two hours, Miss Wilson says, she sits before her machine and writes just as fast and hard as she- knows how, and her hands are not mere hands to get cold and chapped as any other person's do — not by a chanppionship. "I never let my hands get cold," she said, "and I wear the heaviest gloves I can get. I have to be just as careful of them as though they played a violin or a piano." The suffragettes of New York State have adopted from their English sisters a touch of the picturesque, while rejecting the violent and the lawless in their campaign, and it is extremely likely that the "Empire State," with its population of more than 8,000,000, will this year bo added to those in which women suffrage obtains (writes our San Francisco correspondent under date Bth January). A little band of five "pilgrimettes" walked from New York City to Albany, the capital, a distance of 170 miles, and presented to Governor William Sulzer a message from the "suffrage hosts" of the State expressing the "earnest hope that his administration may be distinguished by the speedy passage of a woman suffrage amendment." The tramp through snow and sleet lasted twelve' days, an average of about 14 miles a day being made by the enthusiastic suffragists. At every town along the route they were entertained by cheering crowds. The movement has received no more effective advertisement than this tramp, and "General" Eosalie Jones, the leader of the band, upon reaching Albany said : "We feel that we have touched the people along the line of march in a way that could have been effective by no other methods.' 1 Governor Sulzer told tho marchers that as a mat* ter of political justice he had always favoured equal suffrage for men and women, and had recommended in his message to the Legislature that a woman suffrage amendment to the constitution of the State be passed as soon as possible. The women were greatly cheered by this successful outcome of their journey, and their gratification was enhanced when on the first meeting of the Legis; latui'G a concurrent resolution providing for woman suffrage was introduced in both Houses. A year ago such a resolution was passed by the Assembly but rejected by the Senate. On this occasion, it in all probability will be passed t>X I*2^ pbmnkSWi lt w 2$J hfi fill
