We are glad to say that the subject of female dresn reform, once introduced in Wellington, is not likely to. pan from public attention. Another meeting of Indies took place last Friday, at Madame Elsie's, when the now divided skirt dress was again exhibited, and received the unqualified approval of the company, In appearance it was no less deceptive than on the first occasion of its exhibition: one lady averring that the wearer was cheating them. " That is not the dress, surely I" The ilress in itself is a remarkable illustration of how much may be accomplished by the judicious modification of prevailing fashions. -N.Z, Times.

An adjourned meeting of the creditors of Mr Job Vile, of Masterton, was heldiit the Supreme Court House yesterday afternoon for the purpose of considering the debtor's application for discharge from bankruptcy. Mr A Haaell occupied the chair, and numerous creditors were represented either personally or by proxy. Mr Miles (Messis Murray, Bohorts & Co.) commented on the uenerally unsatisfactory character of ihenstate, and moved that the Bankruptcy Cmirc bo urged to suspend the debtor's certificate of discharge for three years from the date of his bankruptcy, on the following alleged grounds:-That he had obstructed the trustee, forcibly ejected a bailiff, kept his books improperly, carried on business some lime after having, by his own admission, divested himself of everything he possessed, and had appropriated a sum »f in favor of his father. Mr Palmer soconded the motion, Mr A. W. Hog* moved as an amendment, "That the creditors recommend the debtor's immediate discharge." Mr J. Vile, son., seconded the amendment. The amendment was lost by 18 votes to 10, the Chairman not voting, and the moiion for the suspension of the debtor's certificate for three years was then declared to be carried. Before the meeting separated, Mr Palmer drew attoiition to the apathy which he said had been displayed by the bulk of the creditors connected with the estate, "who had been represented by proxies instead of attending the meeting in person, in order to assist the trustee in administering tbe estate," Such a course as this, he pointed out, tended to jeopardise commercial interests generally, by throwing on those creditors who had attended the disagreeable responsibility of working against those who were present with the object of supporting the debtor's discharge, He added that if creditors were too indifferent to attend creditors' meetings, they ought, in his opinion, to he debarred from participating in any dividends an estate might yield,—Even- j ing Post.
