A special feature of "The Mart" to-day (Saturday) is the sweet stall under the management of Miss L. Whitcombe; in fact, never has such a variety been seen on a local sweet stall before. This is due to members of the West End, Bell Block, Central, Fitzroy, Miss Stanford's and Technical schools, who have labored arduously during the past week, under the supervision of Miss Taylor, the cooking instructress of the Technical College, to make this stall a success. Mr. and Mrs. Askew, the novelists who are reported to have been killed by an enemy action at sea, threw up all their work in London early in the war and went into the Balkans as Red Cross workers, risking their lives over and over again during that terrible retreat of the Serbians from their own country until they arrived at Corfu, when the Askews sent out descriptive messages which wrung the heart of the world and brought financial and other help to the distressed people. Mr. Askew, the son of a clergyman, only took to writing after his marriage (in 1900), the first and most famous book of the hnsband-and-wife partnership being "The Shulamite," published in 1904, dramatised in 1906, and photoplayed in 1915. Nearly 30 novels have been the result of the collaboration. Mr. and Mrs. Askew leave a son and daughter. Miss Adela Pankhnrst (now in durance vile in MelbourneJ was married to a seafaring man before she headed the riots that robbed her of her liberty. The marriage took platfe at the Free Religious Fellowship, Little Collins street. Among the guests was a daughter of the bridegroom.

The son-in-law of President Wilson, Mr. Francis B. Sayre, is also going to France with the American troops as Y.M.C.A. field secretary.
