News has been received in Dunedin that Miss Maureen Frengley has been appointed to the post of home science tutor in the University of Delhi, India. Miss Frengley is well known in Christchurch, where she lived for some time before her departure for Ireland early this year. “There is a craze for novel writing in England,” said Miss Jane Mander, the New Zealand authoress, when addressing the League of Pen women in Auckland, “and for publicity.” With over 30 firms publishing in London, some bringing out one book a day, or three a week, the output is enormous. Publishers were bringing out masses of light reading matter for library sales, and this, said Miss Mander, was eagerly swallowed up bv vast numbers of women who lived in flats and boarding houses with nothing to do but read and take out their dogs.

The following appeared in the London Times of October 23, 1832:—As there are various sorts of beauty, the style and appearance of the person ■who is meant to figure as one must first he consulted; for though we are not much disposed to admit nature into our consultation, well knowing how little she has to do with beauty at present, still we cannot wholly dismiss her. If the young lady be tall and slight, she is to be trained to the Amazonian style. ... If the young lady be disposed to embonpoint, the languid graces of Venus must be borne in mind; quick movements must be carefully avoided, as they produce flushing, which is destructive to beauty, and display forms that, alas! are often not only round but dump. . . . Frequent smiles must be used if the teeth are good, but a laugh never; and short sleeves and long petticoats are earnestly recommended, with ceintures the colour of the dress These instructions strictly followed, interest must be made to have a fete given at Devonshire House, to introduce the neophyte; and this'must be announced by the puff preliminary . . . thus the beauty is made, and becomes a standing dish for the season; disputing the palm of excellence with the chef d’oeuvres of the inimitable Monsieur Ude.—Court Journal.
