The intimation that Madamoisello Dolores, the celebrated French soprano, will visit New Plymouth on Tuesday evening next, opens up a field of pleasurable recollections and anticipations, for this artist has endeared herself to her audiences in New Zealand and occupies a unique position in the hearts of the musical public with her sunny and serene temperament, her kindly and gentle nature and her delightful artistry. In Australia during the war she was instrumental in raising over £17,000 towards the funds of the various charitable organisations connected with the war. At one of her concerts in Melbourne an old lady hooked 60 seats •—it was to assist the blind soldiers, who have a special affection for Dolores. One of the legacies left to people who were smitten by the recent epidemic is falling hair. Many residents of Wellington have found their hair steadily falling out during the past month or two, and in a few cases premature baldjiess has been the result.. By the ladies particularly falling nan* is being viewed with AlTtB. To stimulate failing

growth some have resorted to the expedient of having the head shaved hare. Many Wellington ladies have put up with thiß temporary interference with their charms rather than be permanently bereft of their flowing locks.
