BLINDED SOLDIERS' AND SAILORS' HOSTEL.

SOUVENIR OF THE MEN WHO FELL. A most original and arlistic souvenir of the war has been conceived in the form of a bronze model of the Genotaph which was erected in Whitehall, London, as a memorial to the fallen, and past which which marched, in homage to the dead, the brave and splendid troops of the Allies. The model is a replica, its height ■being 7^ inches, including a wooden stand made from the actual wood of the original cenotaph, which adds a considerable historic and sentimental value to the model. The latter has been executed with considerable taste and delicacy of workmanship, and as a memorial of -dhose who fought and fell is eminently appropriate and dignified, entirely free from the vulgar and commonplace. The model, including the original cenotaph wood stand, can be purchased for six guinK!s and the proceeds are to be devoted to St. Dunstan's After-Care Fund for blinded soldiers and sailors. There are probably many New Zealanders who would like to possess this unique souvenir, and full particulars can be obtained from the organising secretary, St. Dunstan's AfterCare Fund, 306 Regent street, London, W.I., England.
