The big hotel at Banff, which was burned down, has now been rebuilt and was to be opened a fortnight after they left. Lady Marjorie Dalrymple combined a brief holiday visit to Fiji, with the inauguration of the Girl Gflide movements in the Islands. Lady Marjorie hopes that a Fijian troop will be established as a result of her short stay in Suva. For the next two days she will be at Stonehurst. Afterwards Lady Marjorie Dalrymple will return to Hawke’s Bay to resume her duties as acting principal of Woodford House School.

Mr. D. Worrall is a young Australian journalist who has been visiting America. During his stay in New York he used his natural ability to discover things about prohibition there. “It is impossible to legislate morality,” was his comment. “All that has happened in New York is to drive the bars from the first floor to those above. In one street in which I lived there were 30 “blind-tigers” (sly-groggers). I’m afraid prohibition has made the young people drink more liquor than they did previously.”
