TANGIMOANA.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) TANGIMOANA, June 28. A spectacle unique in the history of Tangimoana was the children’s fancy dross party, held in the McKolvie Hall on Saturday, the event being another effort, on the part of the Ladies’ , Progressive Club to raise funds for their tonins courts. Miss Patou, Miss Marston and Miss Glennie j'ltd&td the fancy costumes, the prizes going to Marion Scott, of Carnarvon, who made a very dainty Dresden Lady; Rev Carkcek, Balloon Boy; and Irene Spry, whose frock was judged tho most original. Others present were: Mavis Erskine, Geisha Girl; Joe Devine. Balloon Boy; Ruby Alsop, Japanese Lady; Joy Kyle, plain; Don Scott and Buster Birkinshaw, Goodnight Twins; Mervyn Erskine, plain; Valma Raines, Spanish Dancer; Myrtlo Erskine, Davo, Off Our Selection; Tom Spry, plain; Valma Carkcek, Little Red Riding Hood; Brian Schrcibcr (Carnarvon), Indian; Frank Spry, plain; Bert Tew, plain; Cliff Birkinshaw, Chimney Sweep; Murray G'arkoek, Cowboy; Irene Spry, Little Miss Muffett,; Marion Scott, Dresden Lady; Russell Mexted (Carnarvon), plain; Tom Birkinshaw, Indian Chief; Molly Tew (Carnarvon), plain; Audrey Ransom (Rongotea), plain; Brydon Clark (Kairr.n/pi), plain; Judith Scott (Carnarvon), plain. Among the visitors were Mrs Logan Scott (Carnarvon), Mrs Burne (Carnarvon), Miss Marston (Tangimoana), Mies J. McConachie, Miss M. McC'onachic (Fcilding), Mrs Brcrcton (Carnarvon), Mrs Russell

(Fcilding), Mrs and Miss Ransom (Rongolca). Miss Yvonne Munn (Palmerston North), Mrs Waldcgrave, Mrs E. Parnell, Mrs Keat, Mrs and Miss Erskine, Mrs Ayres, Miss Paton (South Island), Miss Glennie. A sweet stall was run by Mrs A. D. Scott and Mi's Nelson Scott, while Mrs A. R. W. Scott added to the finances by conducting a fish pond. Afternoon tea was dispensed by 'Mrs Devine, Mrs Kirkham. Mrs Birkinshaw, Mrs Nelson Scott and Miss Quirke. The ladies are indebted to Mrs Brcrcton, of the Carnarvon School, and Miss Qiurke, of the local school, who conducted the folk dancing and organised tho children’s games. A competition arranged for tho children by Mr Nelson Scott was won by Mavis Erskine. ’The euchre party in the evening was well attended, the prize winners being: Ladies, Mrs M. J. Birkinshaw 1, Miss M. Erskine 2; men. Mr E. E. Spry 1, Mr B. Kyle 2. The ladies who attended to tho supper were Mrs ICirkham, Mrs Nelson Scott and Mrs Birkinshaw. The success of the day’s proceedings was in no small degree due to the energetic secretary, Mm A. Carkcek. A painful • accident happened on Saturday to Mrs R. Webby. It appears that an electric pump was being attended to when a part flew off and, striking Mrs Webby on the head, rendered her unconscious. We regret to record tho passing, of Mr John Anderson, a resident of Tangimoana. The late Mr Anderson had been in poor health for some considerable time and was a patient of tho Palmerston North Hos-. pital. He had been a resident for about three years and was much respected. Sympathy is extended to his widow and daughter.
