' It is mot often that private concerts are given by way of entertainment in Wellington, and when they are as enjoyable as the one given by 'Mrs. Quick last evening in St. Andrew's Schoolroom, it seems a great pity that such; is the case. The .schoolroom had beeii carpeted and trans-: formed into a drawing-room, while the stage, placed at one enu of the room, was also carpeted and prettily arranged with palms, and- mado a pleasant vantage ground for the performers. Some of the items which made up a very delightful' programme were: A Song Cycle, "The Persian Garden," in which Miss Lloyd HasseU, Mts. Donne, Mr. Clarkson, and Mr. Carter sung.: Later on in tho evening • they again sang a Spinning Song, as well, as a Waltz Song. Mrs. Cachemaille and Miss D. Quick played, a duet, and Mrs. G.

Mrs. Thompson was first, and Miss Gardner took second prize in a memory competition. A dainty supper provided a fitting climax to an enjoyable evening. An Untouched Industry. Possibly the following .interesting letter, received from a correspondent, and the suggestion she makes, may commend itself to some of the readers of The Dominion. Judging from the amount of lace work of all kinds, not only crochet work, i t would seem as though there were a wide field for someone withh tiino and . energy to spend, wotting to bo developed on somewhat similar lines:— "Dear Imogen, "Thinking that probably you are glad to hear from the readers oi your paper in the Dominion, I take the liberty of writing to you. I' was extremely interested on reading t'nis morning the paragraph relating to the Lady Commercial Guild, in Melbourne, and the way it is endeavouring to promote the making and sale of Irish crochet. I have but recently returned from Australia, and whilst there was greatly struck with, and commented upon, the amount of crochet work to be seen everywhere. In almost every houso visited it was in evidence,: hot only completed and in use, but as the favourite fancywork, and very beautiful too, some of it. Tray-cloths, table-cloths, pillow shams, d'oyles, etc., all edged with it and especially handsome it looked worked with linen thread and brilliant cotton of various shades. One' particularly pretty bedroom set was of shadow work, edged with crochet of a .simple lacjr pattern, 'with tho underparts and frills of gold Homaii satin. The crochet was done in linen thread, which worked ont at 4d. a yard. Very nice also we're the tray-cloth edgings with tlie corners in the pattern. Another noticeable item was the fineness of the cotton used, 36 ind 50 being favourite numbers. ■ We used to think 24 very fine, did we not? I trust you will not think mo tiresome in writing this, but such an-impression was. mado on my mind regarding this particular work whilst away, that tho impulse was'.'too great to be gainsayed to write, and. tell you. a little of what the wofk : of ..cotton entanglement was ill Victoria. ■ 1 did not notice' it in Sydney, imd 'I did not visit any private houses there. Do you think we might, emulate Victoria? . "Tours very sincerely, 7 , "MABEL WOODHOTJSE."
