SOCIAL AND PERSONAL

Dr and Mrs J. P. Reakes left for Christchurch on .Friday last.

A farewell “social” was tendered by the Mauricovillo .settlers to Mr and Mrs O. D. Cox, statidnmaster, on the eve of his departure from the district to go into business on his own account in Hawke’s Bay. During the evening, Mr M. Grecson, on behalf of residents of the surround mg district, made a presentation to Air and Mrs Cos of a travelling-rug and a handsome silvermounted oak' tray -suitably engraved. Airs A. Thompson and Miss Wilson (Wellington) aro the guests of Mrs F. Wilson in New Plymouth. Air and Airs J. H. P- Strang, of Palmerston North, arrived by the Alakura from England. ■ Airs Pilkington (Wellington) is the guest of Airs Price, Slater street, 1 Christchurch, for a few weeks, after which she is to leavo Now Zealand to join her ' husband, Lieutenant-Colonel Pilkington, New Zealand Stair, in .England.

Alisa J. A. Finlnyson, infant mistress at the Alasterton District .High School, has’ been appointed to a similar position in' tlio Newtown School. Aliss Finlayson has done splendid work- during the three yotirs she has been on the staff.

While everybody knows that the Canadians, the Australians, .and the Imperial Army and Navy have had their staffs of artists' recording the Great War,, few have been aware that the Air Service, has also had its artistic staff. This has been one man, Joseph Simpson, whose fin© work as a painter is apt to be overlooked owing to his reputation- as a caricaturist. Air Simpson Is now engaged on four big air paintings, the destination 'of which will be the Imperial War Aluseum. One thinks of the paper problem mainly in terms of books and newspapers, but "there is another aspect, perhaps a little too much under one’s nose to bo readily recognisable—mostly nothing but low-grado paper is now obtainable for cigarettes. Smokers may have noticed the difference. It is so great that one brand of ladies’ cigarettes is no longer manufactured, the paper being so coarse that it dominated the tobacco in those slim smokes. Nearly all the best quality cigarette papers camo from Austria. The secret is supposed to lie in some special quality of the water used in their manufacture.

Artists are still at work on the British front. The Canadians have sent out to Germany Professor W. Rothenstein, who is now in the Oologne-Bonn district, and also Private D. B. Alilne, the remarkable young American they discovered in one of their Welsh camps. Other... artists painting for them are Alajor Orpon and William Nicholson’. D. Y. Cameron is home now. The Canadian Memorial Exhibition, which closed yesterday at the Royal Academy, is to go to New York (says a London paper of Alarch 3rd).

A friend of mine, writes a correspondent in the “Daily Chronicle,” has kept himself and his family immune from influenza in a district sorely smitten by eating spring opinions, which, ,he mantains;, form.a mage which no germ can pass and,live...The’value of the ordinary onion in cases of colds is well known to many simple countryfolk. Onion broth, preferably made with milk, and taken as hot ns possible just before going to: bed, will break the back of most colds. And as an innocuous sedative and sleep-in-ducer the onion is unrivalled. ,In this country we- don’t 'sufficiently appreciate its kindly virtues. A Press Association cablegram from London reports that Aliss Elizabeth Asquith has been married to Prince Antoine Bibescb, who is attached to the Roumanian Legation in London. The. most prominent political people attended the wedding, at which Royalty was represented. Miss Elizabeth Asquith is the second add. youngest daughter of Air H. H. Asquith, the exPrime Minister. Her engagement to an American diplomat was announced in 1916, but was immediately denied. Bho has done a large amount of war work. She is described as a talented amateur actress and has frequently appeared on the-stage in performances in aid of patriotic funds. Miss - Ruby Williams left Wellington last evening for Invercargill after a visit to her sister, Mrs W. Hi Edwards, of Hataitai. Sister G-. G. Meddina and Probationers M. Jones and M. Nella, of the Army Nursing Service,-have reported for duty at Tfentham camp. Miss Alarie Tempest is still globe trotting.
