Although Mile. Suzanne Lenglsn has declared that she has no intention of giving up professionalism, it is apparent that she misses the galmour which always goes with any public success. No longer is she that vivacious person that used to delight the thousands who daily applauded her victories. No longer does she live the life of a queen as she did in those far-off amateur days. Instead of French reporters heralding her goings and comings and photographers taking innumerable photographs, • Mile. Lenglen now passes to and fro unnoticed.

Most of her time now is spent in tlie solitude of her study, where she knits jumpers, at’ which she is an expert.

NOTES

News from Miss Edith Lyttleton (G. B. Lancaster) states that tlie New Zealand novelist is at present in Tasmania, where she hopes to remain until late in the year, when she will return to the Dominion. Miss Lyttleton is staying at "Longford,” the old colonial home where her family has resided for close on a hundred y'ears. She is visiting the remains of the early Tasmanian penal settlements, and studying the first dark pages of the history of the island in connection with a series of stories she is writing.

A distinguished English K.C. is telling a good story about two of his daughters, one aged six and the other aged 18, or thereabouts.

Apparently he gave the elder girl a monkey as a birthday present, which immediately captivated the attention of the six-year-old. Now it happened that the father was going to a dinner party at which the Prince of Wales was expected. The child was greatly interested. "And will the Prince come back and ha\ l e supper here ” she asked. “I’m afraid not,” said her father. “Well,” was the reply, “It will serve him right if he doesn’t, ’cos he’ll miss the monkey.”

A great number of women were among those who witnessed the tennis matches between France and New Zealand on Wednesday, says the "Dominion,” and undoubtedly their gay frocks and hats rising in tiers above the green lawn in the midst of brilliant sunshine made a very effective picture. The seating arrangements were excellent, and the spirit of the spectators, as well as of the players, was absolutely right. There was no jarring note at all, and the joyful spirit of the game, as evinced by the three French players, set a delightful standard for young New Zealand to copy. It was something, indeed, that so many would go without the necessary afternoon tea in order to watch the games, but everyone considered that the play provided an excellent stimulant. . - Some wise folks took thermos flasks, others had fruit or sweets, but the majority seemed Quite content to forego afternoon refreshment. Jean Borotra’s beret was of much interest, but at one period of the afternoon an eve-shade would have been more useful. Among those present were the Minister of Education, the Hon. R. A. Wright, and Mrs. Wright, and the Mayor and Mrs. Troup. ENGAGEMENTS The engagement is announced of Mary Ross St. Paul, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. W. St. Paul, of Ardmore, Papakura, to Cecil James Attwood, second son of Mr. and Mrs. J.

Johnson, Te Awamutu. The’ engagement Is announced of Rose, fourth daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. Vander-Moien, of Barbadoes Street, Christchurch, to Samuel Arthur, younger son of Mr. and Mrs. Isidor EVENING WEDDING WILSON—LEATHART A pretty and interesting wedding took place at the Onehunga Congregational Church at 7 p.m. last evening, when Augusta (Gus) the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Leathart, of Church Street, Onehunga, was married to Eric, the only son of Mrs. and the late Mr. W.
