WOMEN’S INSTITUTE ENTERTAINMENT.

A SPLENDID SUCCESS. The Women’s Institute entertainment on Tuesday night in the Druids’ Hall proved a Jieat success and as a result the finances of the Institute will be considerably strengthened.. The M'obitqe and work stalls did brisk business, the display of handicraft woitc proA-ing most interesting to everyone, i’he musical trio from Palmerston Korth, Miss M. Muirhead (piano), Mr G. McKenzie (cello), and Mr M. McKenzie (violin), delighted the large auudianee with their excellent items, and ivith the addition of Mr D. McKenzie (saxophone). piayed for several dances duuring the evening. Their kindness in attending voluntarily to assist in making the evening such a success Avas much appreciated by all. Miss Joyce Ingley was heartily applauded for her .Highland dancing and had to respond to an. encore. The post office under the management of Miss D. Jones and Miss Iv. Todd pro A-ed quite an attraction, these officials having a busy time. The cne-acv comedy “No Servants” presented by Women Institute members proved most entertaining and judging by the sounds of merriment from the audience the humour was thoroughly enjoyed. All those taking part acquitted themselves Avell land considering the fact that most of them .‘were making their first appearance on the stage, their effort is deserving of • special praise. Those taking part were Miss S. Quarrie (“Lady Victoria’’); Mrs McKenzie (“Francis”); Mrs Alexander (“Mrs SparroAv”), Miss A. Aim (“Agnes”), Mrs Terry (“Maud”), Mrs Pritchard (“Harris”). - We hope this Avill not prove to be their last effort in this direction- During the evening dance extras were played by Mrs McKenzie (Palmerston North), Mis Clifford Jones and Mr J. T. Bovis, the latter also acting as M.C. for the dancing. A number of competitions were held, the Avinners being as folloAvs:- — Mrs BoAvler, cake; Mrs Radford, handbag; Mr D. Fitzgerald, tea; Mrs Boavl- ■ or, stool.
