LOUISE MACK.

The fame of Louise Mack, the worn derful woman who did such fine work in Franco and Belgium during over four years of war, and was, on one occasion, a prisoner in tho German lines, has preceded her, with the -result that her appearance in Otaki is eagerly awaited. She will give her lecture at Brights’ Theatre next Monday. Louise Mack’s recital is not “just the ordinary dry lecture.” It has been referred to by tho Melbourne “Age” generally as “a revolution, an enlightening influence.” Miss Mack will tell of “How I Met Edith Cavell,” “Five. Days a Gorman Prisoner,” “What I saw insido the German Lines,” “With Edith Cavell in Brussels,” “Crossing the. Straits with Captain Fryatt,” and a hundred aud one personally observed incidents of barbarities, outrages, heroism and devotion of intensost interest. Referring to Louise Mack’s account of her second meeting with Nurse Cavell, a contemporary writes:—“They met again at the hospital the following night; the story of that meeting, of the martyred nurse’s wonderful bravery, her devotion to duty, and the subsequent tragedy that moved all the world to pity and honour, held the audienco enthralled.’ ’
