SOCIAL & PERSONAL

For the Belgians. There is on view at the present time in the windows of the Bristol Company, Lambton Quay, some beautiful examples of crochet and montmellick work made by Mrs. Moult. They con-, sist of two crochet supper cloths, one of montmellick work and a crochet nightdress satchel, and it has taken Mrs. Moult fully three years to make them—that is working in her spare time. An art union has been formed and tickets may be obtained at the Bristol for the sum of one shilling. The proceeds are for the benefit of the Belgian funds and in addition to helping such a cause there is always the chance for the lucky speculator of obtaining some really beautiful and valuable work.
