A POPULAR YOUNG LADY.

ENTERTAINED BY ALL SAINTS’ CHURCH.

On Thursday afternoon a “Gift Afternoon” was held at All Saints’ Vicarage in honour of Miss King. There was a good attendance, and a very pleasant afternoon was spent. Miss King received many excellent tokens of esteem from parishioners of All Saints’. Mrs. Walton, in wishing Miss King every happiness on behalf of all present, said that they were all pleased to have an opportunity of showing their appreciation of Miss King’s many good qualities. She then asked Miss King to come forward and unwrap the many parcels which contained some very useful gifts for her new home. Musical honours terminated a very pleasant afternoon.

Apologies for absence were received from Mesdames A. S. Easton, F. Robinson and Barber, senr. Last evening the All Saints’ choir gathered in the Sunday school for the purpose of making a presentation to Miss King, a valued member of the choir for many years. The Vicar (Rev. W. 11. Walton), in asking Miss King to accept a silver entree dish from the choir, referred to the recipient’s many good qualities. He said Miss King deserved all happiness and joy in her future married life. Besides being a faithful member of the choir, he knew what a loyal, loving and devoted-daughter she had been. The many qualities she had shown in her devoted service to her late father during his long illness was an example to many, and she deserved every good thing that life could give her.

Mr. Edwards, in responding for Miss King, thanked the choir and Vicar for their expressions of goodwill and said they hoped to have a

share, in the church work of Foxton for manv vcars.

The choir and friends then form ed a circle round Miss King an sang: “For She's a jolly good fel low.”

A most enjoyable evening was spent. Songs were contributed by Mrs Carmont, Misses Dent and Leslie, items and songs by Air. and Mrs Corn. Mr. Taylor, a member of the choir, sang two . songs, his rendering of “Take a pair of Sparkling Eves,” was a surprise to many, and indicated careful training, combined with sweetness of tone. This singdr will be a great asset to the choir.

A very amusing competition was indulged in, arranged by Miss Williams and was won by Miss Dent.

The younger members of the choir carried out the supper ar~ rangments admirably under the supervision of Miss Williams. Apologies for absence were received from Mr Poole, Mr. and Mrs Hornblow and Mrs F. Woods.

Air. Tom East very ably preside at the piano during the dancing.
