Miss Emma Temple, whn will make her re-appearance here in "The Man Who Stayed at Home," is the only member of the original famous Brough-Boucicault comedy company at present in Australasia. Miss Temple has probably over 200 parts to her credit, and she has always presented a faithful conception of any one of them. Miss Violet Paget, who plays Miriam Leigh in "The Man Who Stayed at Home," has more than a professional interest in the play by reason of the fact that her husband, Hugh Buckler, is one of those who heard bis country's call, and went to the war. With him in the Worcester regiment at the front are a brother, a cousin, and a brother-in-law. The latter was recently seriously wounded, receiving no fewer than thirteen wounds in the head, neck, and left hand. "Under these circumstances," remarked Miss Paget, ''it is not surprising that the words I utter in the play have a deeper significance for me, and arouse in me more emotion than any role I have over played. Is it any wonder that it stirs rae deeply, considering that my husband is there, in the firing line? There is no play I would rather be appearing in at the present time than ''The Man Who Stayed at Home." AFTERNOON TEA. The first of a series of "Red Crossi Teas," in connection with the Victorian League, was held at Mrs. E. Blunder's last Monday afternoon, when each guest was requested to givft a small donation, so as to enable the members to secure materials to make comforts for the soldiers.

Last Thursday and Friday a bulb show, in connection with St. Mary's Sunday School, was held in St. Mary's Schoolroom, and it was thought by many to have been one of the best displays of Jts kind ever exhibited in that building. Although the bulbs have flowered Bomcwifat earlier this year, the species seem to be finer and more delicate in coloring, it being a real treat to the horticultural enthusiasts. There were several exhibits besides local displays, the contributors being Messrs C. Goodson (Hawera), T. French, and Coopers, Ltd. (Wellington). Besides the produce, art, and sweet stalls, was the afternoon tea kiosk, which did a remarkably brisk business, the success of which was due to Mesdames Maekay and Misses Crookc (2), George, G. Greaibach, P. Mills, Pellew, and Bedford. Amongst those present were:—Mesdames A. H. Colvile, J. E. Wilson (Mayoress), Pott, Percy-Web-ster, Welsou, Davenish, Fookes (sen), Brookincr. Chanev, C.
