On Tuesday afternoon, Miss Gertrude McKelvey, a graduate of the former college, gave a most interesting talk and demonstration at the Y.W.C.A. in which she told a large class of wo- men and girls, just what to do to make the remains of a dinner into delicious' dainties for luncheon or supper. : That the knitted frock or suit, so useful for outings, will be worn again this year. The knitted sweater and the pleated skirt will also be much worn on the golf links, and for tem- nis or boating. The knitted frock was a great discovery. It wears won- derfully, is smart and becoming, it does not hold the dust, does not crush and looks as well after an all day motor trip as it did when the 'wearer donned it in the morning. That the late Cardinal Mercier, thé grand old man of the Roman Catholic church, before he passed away, wrote with his own hand a re- ligious will, addressed to the Angli- can Archbishop of Cantebury. The details of this document have not yet been made public, but; as it was written shortly after the visit to the cardinal of Lord Halifax, president of the Anglican church union, it is believed that it has reference to the question of n union between the Ro man and Anglican churches, for which the cardinal long Nad been working. That Miss Christabel Pankhurst, who has been in Kingston several times, is now assisting Mrs. Mabel Tuke, another suffragette of interna- tional fame, in running a tea room at Cannes, France.

She says she is only acting as waitress while she is writing a new book. ;; -- That a solemn warning has been given to women with grey hair not to be in too great a hurry to have it dyed. Madame Hudson, of Néw York, a leading authority on besuty cul- ture, told the crowds which attended the first annual Exhibition of the Na- tional Hair os Ansasiation bof Canada that a woman' grey accentuated her age when she chang- ed thé color of her hair, emphasizing any wrinkles or lines she might have, or inperfections of the skin. University Women Fete Miss Whitton Miss Charlotte Whitton, who sails in March to represent Canada at the! Geneva Child, Welfare committee meetings, is being feted to-day by the University Club women whom she addresses. x From a communication just re- ceived from the League of Nations office at Geneva we Quote the fol- lowing: which tells what ig expected of her there: "When she comes to Geneva In March, Miss Whitton's work will have to do with the protection of children from an international point of view. The Child Welfare Cominit- tee takes the normal child as the basis of its study and emphasises the constructive side of child wel- fate, at least as strongly as the gles- tion of protecting children from ad- verse influences or exploitations. In an order to assist governments and to promote international co-operation, a comparison is made of the methods and experiences of different' coun- tries in dealing with the problem and consultation and exchangé of views take place between the officials and 'experts of different countries.
