SUVA. July 2.

IN a BBC broadcast, from London, Ravuama Vunivalu, who is studying the workings of co-operatives in Great Britain, related that at one of the Colonial Month exhibitions in London a group of spectators was discussing a 5 ft. picture of a smiling Fijian girl in dancing dress.

“What beautiful teeth!” said one mem ber of the group, “I wonder if they’re real or false.”

“Oh, they’re not false,” interposed Ravuama, in a meek voice.

“How do you know?” asked the first speaker.

“Well,” Ravuama explained, “she hap pens to be my wife!”

Mr. J. Cavanaugh, of the Kerevat Saw mill, Rabaul, is at present on 6 months’ leave in Australia.
