The Orphans' Entertainment. There _ was a very lnrgo gathering of people iu tho Tojvn Hull on Saturday evening, when the reception to Captain Hals'ey and the officers of H.M.S. New Zealand was held by tho Orphans' Club. Very considerately tlio Orphans made the occasion a "ladies' night," aiid, as a result, the Town Hall presented a really brilliant appearance, with the decoration's remaining from the citizens' ball and tho pretty colours of'evening cloaks and frocks. Practically every seat was taken upstairs and downstairs, and the programme presented hy the Orphans appeared to meet with much appreciation, particularly t.lic halca by tho Jtaoris, who wore as loathe to leave the stage at ttiS end as the audience was to part witli them. Tho background -of palms, ferntrees and foliage for their performance was quite eflective, and in keeping with the primitive note introduced by the Maoris and their haka. T.lic t ask of providing, or rather handing round, supper to so very many people was enough to have made tho stoutest heart quail, but not so with tlio Orphans. Buffets were placed in the corridors at every entrance to tho hall, upstairs and downstairs, and nothing short of an army of Orphans and their friends was to be seen at supper time hurrying backwards and forwards with their precious prizes, from the muchsurrounded tables outside. 1

It is not often that one has seen Wellington so enthusiastic about anyone or anything as it has become about Captain Hnlsey and the battle-cruiser New Zealand. His appearance on Saturday evening with several of his officers at once aroused a warm clapping of hands, and later when he was about to surak it reached a climax with cheers and the singing of "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow." And it is just the same wherever he speaks, no matter how different Ills audience may be. Among those present were the Premier, Mr. Massey, and Mrs. Massey, the, latter wearing a pale nmeiliyst gown with a peacock bluo satin •flat; Miss Massey, in white; Mis. Herd•«an, in blue; the Hon. A. L. Jlerdman. 'Irs. Fisher, the Hoii. 11. D,. Bell, and f.rs. Rolleston. Mrs. Dudlcv North, tho Mayor, Mr. IT'Laren, and Mrs. M'Laren, Mrs. Collins, Lady Stout, Sir Joshua tind Lady Williams, Judge Chapman, Mrs. «md Miss Chapman, Colonel and Mrs. Heard, and very many others.

Cricket at Waiwetu. Many people were invited by members of tho Welosley Club to Waiwetu on Saturday afternoon to witness tho cricket match between some of the officers of H.M.S. New Zealand and some of the club members. Train and motor conveyed many visitors to tho grounds, and a pleasant afternoon was 6pent. A large marquee had been erected, and in it tea was served. Among those present were:. Mrs. Eichelbaum, Mrs. G. Didsbury, and Miss Didsbury, Mrs. King and the Misses King, Mrs. Robieson, Mrs. Dixon, Miss Sylvia Wilson, Miss S. Barraud, Mrs. and Miss Moss, Mrs. Tringham, Mrs. J. Didsbury, Mrs. Von Haast, Mrs, W. H. Didsbury, Miss Seed, Miss Bowen (Napier), Mrs. Digges-Smith, Mrs. and Miss Wilberfoss, Miss D'Oyly, Mrs. Robieson, Mrs. H. Richmond, Mrs., Coleridge, and others. Tho guessing of tho weight of a huge pumpkin was a somewhat distracting puzzle. , At Heretaunga. The Horetauuga gotf links were formally tho season on Saturday afternoon, and to some people the choice was difficult to make, whether they would attend tho cricket match at Waiwetu or attend tho golf opening. Probably tho honours were fairly evenly decided. In the' evening an informal littlo dance was held in the golf-house, among those present being: Mrs. Whyte, Miss Russell, Mrs. F. Ward, tho Misses Abraham (2), .Miss Collins,' Miss Morton, Miss Miles, Miss Stuart, Miss Bristow", Miss Ewen, Mrs. Webster. Oriental Bay Kiosk. Tho new Kiosk at Oriental Bay, which was open for the first time oil Saturday afternoon, attracted very largo number of callers, and one can quite imagine that situated as it ig with the beautiful view of the harbour and hills outstretched before it and placed so as to catch whatever sunshine there may be, it will continue to do so. Oriental Bay, with its beach and its nocks and its high incurving banks, is the haunt of tho sun-worshipper at any hour of the day, and one can but think that his or her cup of languid, world-forgetting, enjoyment will now be completed by this latest addition to the comfort of a teadrinking age. Tho interior of the kiosk has been very attractively furnished and fitted, its white walls looking delightfully fresh, and cheerful, a brilliant effect being given when the lights are turned on by tho clever way with which they are worked in with the diamond-shaped mirrors with which tho walls are studded. Scarlet and blue Tunners on the inlaid linoleum add a touch of warmth to the whiteness of tho room, and the demure Quaker costume worn by the waitresses ist also very attractive. A band played during the w.liolo afternoon.
