Semple, has intimated his intention to be present. Act of Retaliation An English firm of soap makers has notified the Government that owing to the ban on the import of its products into the Dominion, it will make no purchases of New Zealand tallow until the ban is lifted. It is affirmed that the firm's bill for Dominion tallow exceeded the value of its exports to New Zealand. No Snow on Egmont As evidence of the mildness of the season it is reported that Mount Egmont has no snow upon it and presents the appearance of summer. The absence of a white mantle at this period of the year is most unusual, and has not been experienced for at least a decade. Publicity Needed New Zealand, in the opinion of a Wellington resident, Mr 11. A. Nelson, needs more publicity abroad. He produced evidence in an interview that until recently, at any rate, children in the town of Amsterdam (New York State School were under the impression that New Zealand was a country over-run with cannibals and natives. He said it was reasonable to assume that the same impression existed in many other American towns. Now giving personal fittings in our Corset Department, Madarne Modaire, expert corsetiere.
