ANGLICAN GIRLS’ GUILD An “afternoon” was held in Pt John’s Hall by the Anglican Girls’ Guild on Thursday, in aid of the forthcoming bazaar. There was a good attendance, and a most enjoyable time was spent. The programme consisted of musical items and competitions. Mrs Fa°-g and Misses D. Wood and N. Snooks were in charge of a flower and sweet stall, at which good business was done. Miss Dora Wood’s song was much appreciated, while the duet by Miss Clemett and Miss Binning received a well merited encore. “The Waters of Minnetonka,” sung by special request by Miss V. Clemett, was much enjoyed, as was also a pianoforte solo by "the same lady. The competitions caused a great deal of amusement, the winners being Mrs. Wood, Mrs. E. Clemett, and Miss D. Burling.
