After the Kelvin Hospital enquiry the Government introduced new regulations .dealing with the operations of private maternity hospitals. Since these regulations came into force, four maternity hospitals, representing . twenty _ bedß, Have closed in the. Auckland Hospital District. When questioned the licensees of three of these establishments explainedl that they were unable to, carry out certain of the new requirements. The fourth hospital had been closed chiefly owing td a Blump in business. At a recent' meeting of the Methodist Church Deaconness Committee, steps wore taken for making a new departure in connexion with Bocial work in CSiristchurch. It is proposed to employ. Sister • Annie Tocfeer, who has had experience both as hospital nurse and as church' deaconess, to give attention, not only' tr> cases of sickness and poverty, but also to general social welfare, especially in connexion with women and young, people. Sister Annie Tocker is- -well known in, GBristchurch, and is considered, eminently qualified for work of this .character. ".The commit.. ,te6 hope to be able to begin this newwork early in* the new year.

DRESSES AT ADDINGTON.

CARNIVAL BALL. That Christchurch people will always cheerfully assist a deserving charity was clearly demonstrated at Dixieland last night, when the. Carnival Ball, organised to provide Christinas fare for the orphans and indigent agpd of Nazareth Ho.use, was a record success far exceeding even the most sanguine expectations of its promoters. Mrs Loughnan, the organising secretary, and th& members of lier committee—the Mayoress, Mrs J. A. Flesher, Lady Clifford, the Hon. Mrs Tahu Rhodes, Mrs H. T. J. Thacker, Mrs Frank Scott, Sirs Frank Graham, Mrs George Clarkson, Airs Cyril Warn, Mrs Bernard "Wood, and Miss Enright—were pardonably proud at the success of the gathering at which fully two hundred and- sixty guests danced happily to excellent music provided by Margaret > Middleton's Orchestra, who were relieved for an interval by the members of the Lincoln College - Band, who supplied the extras. In the Carlton Cafe, which was used for supper, the tables were decorated with exquisite roses, the lounge was a bower of greenery, arum lilies, and flowering shrubs, and in the ballroom were pendent baskets of pink roses. Hearty applause greeted an exhibition of the tango, given bv Captain and the Hbn. Mrs Tahu Rhodes, and an eccentric dance by Miss Ruby Wilding, both of which were greatly enjoyed. . Amongst the visitors to the ball were the Messrs Cherniavsky, who attended' after their recital. Mrs Loughnan wore a handsome gown of black satin royale with drapery and beautiful lace embossed with blue and gold; Mrs Bernard Wood, lovely dress of silver tissue; Mrs Clarkson, handsome gown of black jet with coloured embossed motifs j Mrs Tahu Rhodes, gorgeous frock of richly-coloured floral embossed tissue; Mr 3 Frajik Graham* charming dress of begonia pink georgette with panels of pink georgette embossed with violet panne velvet; Mrs Cyril Ward, black jetted georgette mounted on black satin; Mrs Frank Scott, rose, pink and silver shot tatteta with gold lace; Miss Enright, lilac moire marocxin. 0 .

Owing to the generosity of Mr and Mrs Dickson, of Dixieland, and other kindly-disposed citizens, the expenses of the ball will be small, so that the good Sisters of Nazareth House should, as the-result of the ball, be freed from anxiety on the score of introducing a little extra brightness at Christmastime into the lives of their 320 dependents. DANCE AT ALFORD FOREST. The most successful and most enjoyable function ever held in the district is the general opinion of the plain and fancy dress dance held in Alford Forest Schoolroom last Fricb-y. The schoolroom was not a quarter large enough to cater for the exceptionally large crowd. Visitors came from Methven, Mt. Somers and adjacent districts, while some cycled all the way from Ashburton, a distance of thirty miles. The room was very prettily decorated. The judges, Mr A. B. Simpson and his daughter, Miss Simpson, both of Tinwald, gave every satisfaction and are to be congratulated on their quick judgments, especially considering the room was so crowded that a space of only two square yards wfis left for them to view all competitors. Mr Simpson remarked; on the number of fancy dresses and said that he was surprised to find so many that showed evidence of ingenuity and good taste. Those who gave prizes were Mr and Mrs E. Grieve, Mr and Mrs Chapman, Mr and Mrs Nickolls, Mr and Mrs Ccoksley, Mr and Mrs A. Stewart, Mesdames L. J. Hicks. C. Green, A* Grigg, W. Carney, Miss K. Sinton, "A Friend," arid Messrs J.
