WOMAN'S WORLD

(Continued from page 2.) Patriotic Afternoon in Concert Chamber. In aid of 'the Kelburn Day, at the Wellington Red Cross Shop a committee of -members of the Kelburn braneh of the "Women's National Reserve'held a "Red;' White, and Blue Afternoon" in the Concert Chamber of the Town Hall on Satur-, day.. As might bo gathered from its name, the decorations of the chamber were carried out in' those colours, as well as in-the-dresses of most of those taking part in the entertainment. The first part of the programme.,consisted of dancing by Miss Nesta Carwell Cooke's pupils, the centre' of the floor having been kept free for their evolutions, with seats for the spectators ranged round this space, the stage also having been set aside for onlookers. As a matter of fact, the latter place formed an extremely decorative -background to the chamber, with'-its of-, iectively disposed flags and foliage and flowers. ' The. children who took part ' in the dancing display 1 were of ages ranging from about five or six to eleven or twelve, and were divided into sections distinguished by , the colours of ■ their dresses, one group having been-dressed' in red, another in white, and the third in blue—a decidedly effective arrangement. The Kelburn class opened with a grand march, and other of their' performances were various - forms of exercises, circles, Swedish drill, : a -gallop, and a grand chain, in all of which.the audience. .showed 1 much interest. In addition, little 31iss Mavis Pearce danced a solo vory nicely indeed, and the Misses B. Cavell, N. Hunt, M. Pearce, 0. Goodall, N. Phipson,' and M. Tolan gave an action song. The Misses J. Mather, P. Tanner, and M. Curtis performed an Irisli_ jig,- Miss Mavis Tolan a dance inilitaire, and tho Misses Mi Smith, D. Piatt, V. Nesbitt, E. lloyes, R-. Waters, and N. Boyes, a scarf ballet, which was much applauded. Little Miss Ngaire Phipson was the soloist dancer in this particular item. -The skip-ping-rope dance of Miss Carwell-Cooko was an excellent performance, and equally graceful rsvas the dance -which she gave in reply to-an encore. A march by all the performers to the strains of the "Marseillaise," with Mr. Goudie as soloist, was the concluding item of this part of the programme. following an interval for tea came several musical items, the contributors being Miss ReneWodlley, song; Mr. Moschini," clnrionet solo; Madame Anderson, song; Miss M. Nicholls, recitation; and_Mr. W. ' Goudie, song. The orchestra, which supplied the musio for the dancing consisted

of Mrs. Grant (piano), Mr. Peek (cornel), and Mr. Wolfgang (violin). Among those present were Mrs. J. P. Luke (Mayoress) and Dr. Plntts-Mills (president of the AV.N.B.). , , Afternoon tea,, which bad been supplied •by a number of Kelburn residents through the Ivelburn branch of the W.N.R., was handed round by a number of ladies, Mrs. ,T. Hanan (president of this braneh/of the reserve), with Mrs. Macdonald;"Mrs. M'CluTe, and Mrs. M'Farlane, being in elur>?. The decorations of the atago luid been artistically earned out by Mrs. Gerald Bell .and Mrs. and Miss Carwell Cooke, the remaining part having been done by Mr. Carwoll-Cooke. In charge of stalls for flowers and sweets was Mrs. N. A. Campbell, who was assisted by Miss Phyllis Bates.
