 Lady Onslow, wife of the new governor of New Zealand, the earl of Onslow, has a hard cross to bear at the outset of her vice. regal career. For self-protection the col onies have passed a law requiring import. ed dogs to go into quarantine for certain period before they are allowed to wander at large. Lady Onslow applied for an ex- emption order for her pet poodle, but the local authorities were memorable, and de- creed six months separation between mistress and dog. The mistake Lady On slow made was in formally applying for exemption. Had she quietly smugeled the animal ashore in 8 bandbox (the or thodox mode of evading this law), nobody would have been the wiser, but as she her. self directly acquainted the public health authorities with the animals coming. they have no option but to enforce the law.
 garden bed with blossoms bright,
 yellow butterfly alight
 Upon a slender swaying
 Long lily stalk, Where down the walk
 A little child is straying.
 A rosy hand reached out to clasp,
 futtering from the baby grasp,
 little maid a-crying,
 Oh, me! Oh, me!
 Oh, Mamma, see
 The pretty flower a-fying!"
