“COLLEEN BAWN FAIR” A SOCIAL EVENING On Tuesday evening last St. John’s School Hall, Parnell, was the scene of gaiety, the occasion being a social evening given by Mesdames O’Keefe and Stephenson to augment the funds of the Colleen Bawn Pair, which is to be .held at the end of this month. The hall was tastefully decorated with streamers and lanterns. Musical items were rendered by Mrs. Barry, violin, Misses O’Keefe and McPhail, and Messrs. Rees and Holland. Cards and dancing were indulged in, and a very enjoyable and profitable evening was spent. A “GARDEN FAIR” BAZAAR AT TAKAPUNA A very successful “Garden Fair” was held in the Foresters’ Hall, Takapuna, yesterday by the women of St. George’s Presbyterian Church. The fair, which was opened at 2.30 p.m. by the Mayoress, Mrs. J. Williamson, was continued until after 10 p.m. Miss W. Creamer gave a solo in the afternoon, and an orchestra played several selections during the evening. Stalls were arranged on three sides of the hall and were gaily decorated with various kinds of flowers to represent a garden scene. Competitions were held during the evening. Light refreshments were served in an adjoining room,’ decorated with roses and streamers. Over £l4O was raised toward the liquidation of the debt on the manse.

BRING-AND-BUY SALE A successful bring-and-buy afternoon in aid of the funds of the local centre of the Overseas League was held at the residence of Mrs. J. M. Melville, Mount Eden Road, yesterday. A short address on the aims of the league was given by the lion, secretary, Mr. W. Gage-Brown, and afternoon tea was served.

ROTORUA WOMEN’S CLUB A general meeting of the members of the Rotorua Women’s Club was held in St. Luke’s Hall on Tuesday, Mrs. M. L. Richards presiding. The president, in expressing her pleasure at seeing so many women present, said that she hoped the general meetings w T ould enable the members to take a more active interest in the workings of the club, and that the formation of the various “circles”— sewing, Girl Guides, decorative and entertainment —would be a success. The club’s benevolent work, always its outstanding feature in the eyes of the Rotorua public, still continues to tax the club’s financial resources. Cases are always arising which need help, and while funds are available, no deserving person or family.will be refused. Afternoon tea, daintily served by the members of the committee, was followed by the reading of a paper on “A Trip from Parramatta to the Kurhajong,” in Australia. Beautifully worded, the reading was listened to with marked attention by all present. A “Bring and Buy” afternoon in aid of the club’s building fund will take place in St. Luke’s Hall on Tuesday, October IS. S.P.C.A. DOGS’ HOME WANTED It is the earnest wish of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, to be able one day to establish a dogs’ home in this city, thus coming into line with other large towns in the Dominion and elsewhere. A donation toward this special fi*nd has been forwarded to the society by the junior pupils of the Hill Top School, Khyber Pass. Miss Kathryn Commons, of Mountain Road, Epsom, was the principal mover in this little work of humanity.
