Carrison Ball In Y/anganul. The Garrison ball, which was held in tho Drill Hall, Wanganui, on Friday evening last, was a great success. For some time this event had fallen into nbeyancc, owing to the exodus of the volunteer system, but with tho advent of the Territorial, tho suggestion was mooted that a. united social function stood every . chance of meeting with success. Representatives of tho three local companies of the 7th Regiment and members of tli? Garrison.Band combined, and . as a result, the Garrison ball was resuscitated. Tho decorations of tho hall wero extremely effective, the colour schcmo being carried ojit in red, white and blue, with foliage, mirrors and trophies lining tho walls. Another room was turned into a most invitinglooking resting-place, and supper was laid in the lecture room, decorated with streamers'of palo tones of yellow and green. Beautiful flowers'had been arranged on tho supper tables. Excellent music was played by the Garrison Band and Fox's orchestra. The committee consisted of Major Cunningham, Captains Humo, Cade, and Cameron, Mr. A. Wade, Sergts.-Majot Woodhead and Morrison, Col.-S'crgt. Harrison, Sergt.

Enthusiast for Y.W.G.A. An interesting visitor to Wellington will be lioro within tho next day or two, in the person of Mrs. Gladding. Mrs. Gladding is the chairwoman of the foreign department _gf ' the national board of the Y.W.C.A., and is in very close touch with tlio students' organisation in the association. The association is far moro advanced in America than in any other country in the world, and tlio facts that sEo has related of tlio extension of' its work makes interesting reading. In America clubs and club rooms havo been started in tlio small towns, and women and girls from the outlying districts have, through these rooms, been put in touch with one another. Lectures, concerts;' and many other popular Icinds of recreation havo thus been made possible, and a great deal done to alleviate tbo monotony of the lives led by many high-spirited young people. In the big brandies in the towns and cities tliero are clubs forall sorts of things—boating, walking, tenuis, athletics of all sorts, in fact— as well as for educational affairs. When it is stated that as many as 4000 girls often como together at the summer holiday meetings, an idea of tlio importance of the organisation may bo formed. It is significant that when President Roosevelt appointed a commission to inquiro into the circumstances affecting girls, ho found much of tho preliminary work simplified by tho excellent mothod's pursued by this organisation. On her tour through Europo Mrs. Gladding lias seen much of tlio good work being dono by the secretaries appointed from England and America m the various foreign branches. Throughout all the civilised —and much of tho semi-civilised—world, tho branches of tlio Y.W.C.A. are being recognised as girls' clubs of tlio highest typo—clubs where girls of overy possible kind can meet on common ground. Daffodil Ideals. "Tho finest daffodil show is not ono held by a horticultural society, but that seen in tho garden." So Professor A. P. W. Thomas told a gathering of growers, held in tho Chamber of- Commerce building last week under tile auspices of tho Auckland Horticultural Society. It required some imagination' to utter such a sentenco, for tho speaker was talking over tables ladon with beautiful and fragrant late daffodils. The exhibit and address were arranged to allow enthusiasts an opportunity of discussing lato varieties of daffodils, which. usually are a little too late for tho show. The ideals subscribed to by Professor Thomas woro: Greater refinement, more lasting qualities, and greater variety of type. That flowers should bo 'good for a garden ho pronounced a sino qua noil. There were other points, also, that must'comit. One was size. About 4in. across was as largo as he wanted to see, though he did not givo that as an absolute figure. Substance was another point. They wanted flowers that remained good all tho time they wero in flower. There vero somo varieties —the Albatross was one—which opened beautifully, but soon wont off.
A plea for variety of colour was made by the speaker, who said'soino shows had a great sameness of tone, from soft yellow to creamy white. More strong whites and strong, deep goldons would givo relief and variety. Another desideratum was that the flowers should stand the, weather as well as possible. Speaking on symmetry, Professor Thomas said sotno daffodils mado one too much aware that tho petals were in sets of three. His preference was for a medium size, with • ai'.'fcty 'stfiall on'o'S" to go along the beds, or for pot plants. Ono Way of Amusoment. ' Society women in 'Paris are said to be taking up shoe-making as a hobby.' This is reverting to a London craze of over a century ago. On May 4, 1808, Mrs. Charles Calvert notes in hor diary: "I begin a new science to-day—shoe-mak-ing. It is all the fashion. I had a master with me for about two hours, and I think I shall be.ablo to make very nice shoes." In the same month, Lady Sarah Spencer writes to her brother: "I am to-day in a stato of great vanity. ' I have, to my eternal glory bo it spoken, made a pair of shoes. There it is for you! So if all other trades fail, I shall certainly establish myself crosslegged at the corner of aif alley, and earn a livelihood in the midst of leather, awls, and hammers. In the evening, Harriot and T. divide our time between musiclc and shoe-making, which is now thestaplo trade of the family."
