WOMEN’S WORLD

QUEENSWOOD SPORTS AND LIGHT SUMMER FROCKS. (By “Stella.”) Thos e who went to the Queenswood Sports at the Racecourse yesterday found it very pleasant sitting on the stand while following the strenuous activities of the green-clad pupils who ran races, or “barracked” with equal enthusiasm on the lawn in front. In the distance were snowy mountains, and to the left the shadowed Havelock hills, while horses ploughing combined with the groups of trees in making a scene of interest appreciated by all as they sat watching the events. Most amusing were the sack races, also the egg and spoon race, while the “dressing-up” event was really very funny, the children looking most weird little apparitions in the motley garments allotted them. Everything was kept going with great dispatch, and when all was over the visitors were invited by Miss Bullow to tea below the stand.
