A very pleasant social evening, in place of their usual afternoon, was held at the Tea ICioslc, Government Gardens, last Thursday evening by members of the Rotorua Women's Club. Autumn chrysanthemums made attractive floral decorations in the lounge room, where the president, Mrs. D. M. Ford, received the guests on arrival.

A brief outline of the club's activities was given by the president, who spoke also up'on details relating to the coming winter show , at which the club had been permitted to hold a stall. Following a 'delightful pianoforte solo by Mrs. B. M. Green, an interesting novelty competition was held, which took the f orm of the identification of numerous small bags containing some mysterious article, the winner being Miss E. Winslade. Continuing with the musical programme, Mrs. Watson delighted her audience with songs sung to mandolin accompaniment and Miss T. Johnson was well received with her elocutionary items. Songs by Mrs. J. H. Bear, late, of Auckland, were much enjoyed, and Mrs. W.> L. Richards' talk upon "Gloria's Book," which she illustrated with several of this talented young author's delightful poems, proved a most interesting item on the evening's programme, especially as Gloria is so well known to many Rotorua people.
