The Ponsonby W.C.T.U. held its fortnightly meeting yesterday, the president, Mrs. Lee Cowie, being in the chair. A “bring- and buy” sale, in aid aid of funds was a decided success.

Miss Dorothy Davies, a New Zealand pianist, brings a message of comfort to aspirants in music when she says that the teaching standard of the New South Wales Conservatorium in Sydney is now recognised as equal to those of the famous conservatoria in Europe. Nursed through its early and difficult years by such a master as Verbrugghen, whose sole aim it was to establish a conservatorium of t/.e highest order, small marvel that tributes to his success have come from musicians all the world over.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS

ADDRESS BY MRS. J. COOK A drawing-room meeting was held at the., home of Mrs. J. G. Tremain, Park Avenue, Takapuna, yesterday afternoon, when the rooms were prettily decorated with flowers and asparagus fern. Mrs. Morgan Richards introduced Mrs. John Cook, J.P., vice-president of the Auckland branch of the League of Nations Union, who spoke on the aims and work of the League of Nations. They were not only striving to maintain peace, she said, but were also doing humanitarian work among the different communities. The methods of the League were the only way of preventing war and it was for the women of the world to uphold this object. As they had worked in wartime so could they work for peace. The aim of every woman to-day should be to become a member of the League of Nations Union, concluded the speaker. Mrs. Richards thanked Mrs. Cook for her address. Afternoon tea was served by Mrs. Tremain and Miss Marjorie Tremain.

If you cut yourself while working in the kitchen, immediately dredge the cut with pepper. This has the same effect of stanching the blood as the old-fashioned remedy of applying a cobweb.
