Chamberlain, of Wanganui, who left for the front by the Opawa is the fifth member of tho family to go forth to fight for King and country. At Lady Gibbes's evening at the Soldiers' Room last week musical items were contributed by the Misses Turner (of Turner's Orchestra), and, with other entertainments, a very pleasant evenning was provided. On several occasions the Soldiers' Room has been the meeting ground oi soldiers who had not seen each other since they were last together fighting on the battleground at Gallipoli. What such meetings mean and how much lies behind them it is not difficult to guess at in some slight degree. Mrs. Bucholz and Mrs. Wheeler were assisting Lady Gibbes. The members of St. John Ambulance Brigade and Red Cross Society worked very hard on Saturday when selling flowers in the streets for the benefit of the Red Cross Funds. In addition, they sold a very large number of tickets for the evening's concert, and it is expected that the general amount should benefit satisfactorily by their efforts. At the concert which was held in the Town Hall, their Excellencies the Governor and the Countess of, Liverpool were nre.««nt, also the Prime Minister and Miss Massey, the Mayor and Mayoress, Sir William Hall-Jones and Miss HallJones, and tho members of the Red Cross Depot, who on this occasion sold sweets.
