A LITTLE GIRL’S GOOD FORTUNE.

Miss Marjorie Roberts, of the district school, Bozellie, Sydney, is the most expert of at least '200,000 Australians at solving picture puzzles, for the March number of ThegNew Idea announces her as the winner of a contest that has been running in that magazine for the past twelve months. Each of the pictures represented an author, and Miss Roberts succeeded in'junravelling all but two of the 108 problems. Her reward for this performance is a trip to Japan and’back by first-class saloon. In the same number there is the delightful illustrated interview with. Marchesi, done by an enterprising young Australian lady-journalist. A first of a series of illustrated articles on the Government Houses of Australasia contains a fine collection of photographs taken by Lady Dudley’s permission in Federal Government House, Melbourne. Perhaps the most interesting of these are two pictures taken of the schoolroom, and showing the Dudley youngsters at work and at play. Fiction is strong, and to balance it there are a number of practical articles which contain directions for making ail sorts of nseful and oranmental things for the home, ranging from a stencilled set of window curtains to Teddy Bears for- the children. The departments are replete with good things, as usual.
