Mrs O. S. Watkjns is on a visit to Christchurch.

Major and Mrs. F. T\'. Kemp are visiting tlie South Island. Mrs W. Wood passed through Wellington this week, on her return to Christchurch from -Auckland. Mothers of soldiers and sailors will be very heartily welcomed'to the social reunion next \i ednesday at -i.SO in the concert chamber of the Town Hall. In spite of the inclement weather on Monday evening, quite a representative gathering attended the opening of the Y:\V.CA. literary circles, heltl in the club rooms. Miss England (the president) gave an address on "Poetry,' and bv Baking examples from several posts,"showed the beauty of the art, making clear how much pleasure can bo derived from tho real study of poetry. Miss Shields, Miss Piggot, and -UIS.S Crawford wore welcomed as leaders, and circles were formed to study "Poems of To-day" during the winter months.

The death occurred at her residence in Kilbiruie on Wednesday of Mrs Messenger, relics of tho late Mr James .Uessenger, and eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs John Rose, tor many years residents of tho Upper Plain, and now of Wellington. The late Airs Messenger, during her residence in Masterton, was an active member and worker of Knox Presbyterian Church, and was also a teacher in nhe Sunday sdhool. D-eceas'ed leaves one daughter, Miss Khoda, Messenger. Messrs E. J. and P. G. Rose, ot Masterton, and Mr A. M. Rose, of MauiiceviUe, are brothers. ,

Experiences in many departments of war work in England and France were the lot of Lady Bell and her two daughters, *Miss Bell and Miss V. Bell, who arrived by the Arawa. These ladies were in England for the last eighteen months of the war. Lady Bell's daughter, Mrs Rolleston. arrived in England six weeks before the Arawa left for New Zealand. For many months, Lady Bell herself worked with the Queen Alesandra Field Force which answered the same purpose in England as did the Lady Liverpool Fund in this country.

Miss Juniper, in an address to the 1 Auckland National Council of Women, laid great stress upon the need for women architects. It was an absurd t-hing, she considered, Wab a man who spent no in a house should be given the job of planning the place in which a woman spends the greater part of her life. It is to this that Miss Juniper credits so much of the unnecessary energy which is wasted in managing our homes, and the dislike of wo_men to enter domestic work.

The Y.W.C.A. Entertainment Committee has arranged for :> home-made cake sale to be held at the Y.W.C.A. club room on Saturday next, the proceeds to be given to the piano fund. The sale will be opened by the Mayoress CMJrs J. P. Luke), and the many varieties of beautiful„home-made cakes will be appreciated by thoee who will visit the association on that day. A concert which was given by the members of St. Andrew's Church at the Clifton Terrace Hospital on Tuesday last, was much?Bnjoyed by the patients and staff.

Hunt and Miss Hunt, ol Te Kuiti, are visiting Wellington. Mrs Rhodes, of Seattle/ who has been the guest of Mrs Linda Hazzard, Alt. Eden, since returning to Auckland, left Now Zealand on Saturday, on route to Fiji, Tonga, and Honolulu, where Airs Hazzard presently joins her and both then procoed to America (nays the "Stir"). Mrs Rhodes, who is intensely interested in commercial liio, '-a a constant incitement, to other women to go and do likewise, for some 14 years ago she was left with three small children, for whom she had to fight) the world. Fart of her early life had been passed in Alaska, and she began business in a very v small way as a dealer in Indian curios and art and craft work. From this she branched oud into larger businoss ventures, and gradually built up one of the biggest businesses in Seattle, from, which she has now retired with f.n independent fortune, after placing each of her children out in the world on a successful footing. It is the intention of Mrs Rhodes to make, an extensive tour of the .South" Sea Islands before sho roturns to her native State of Washington. It is Airs Rhodes's own experiences of disabilities under which a woman suffers who has to face the world that has mado her such a keen and able oxponent of tho rights of women to an equal business and public footing with men. The death occurred on Tuesday of Airs Alary Stichbury, wife of Air James Stichbury, of Curran street, Ponsonby, Auckland. Mrs Stichbury, who was Dorn at Belturbet, County Fermanagh, Ireland, arrived in Auckland, via Sydney, in 1860, and since her marriage at Onehunga, in 1865, had lived at Ponsonby.

It ie every woman's ambition to be possessed of a head of lovely hair—soit, lustrous, wavy, and free from dandruff. To assist ladies to attain that ideal, Mrs Roileston has devised a course uc treatment that is remarkably effective. Five separate treatments are given, and the head is put in a thoroughly healthy condition, for a fee of one guinea. Tho methods that are employed cleanse and massage the scalp, revive the hair roots and thus the growth is stimulated in a most effective manner. The result brings out all the real life and lustre, the natural waves and colour, and makes the hair soft, fresh and luxuriant. You are invited to call. MRS.
