j COMMUNAL LEADERS t IN JEWISH COMMUNITY j MR. AND MRS. J. ROSENFELD 'AUCKLAND HEBREWS’ TRIBUTE Auckland Zionists extended a warm welcome at the Jewish Club last night to Mr. and Mrs. Julius Rosenfeld, prominent members of the Australian Jewish community, who are returning from a visit to New York. Mr. Rosenfeld is treasurer of the Sydney Zionist Society, and Mrs. Rosenfeld a member of the Council of Jewish Women, and kindred Hebrew organisations. “Zionism in Auckland is a strong and healthy movement,” commented the Rev. S. A. Goldstein, president of the Auckland Zionist Association, when extendng a formal welcome to the visitors. “It has influenced Auckland Jewry, and has proved a unifying power in our midst.” Mrs. David L. Nathan, who presided, referred to Mr. Rosenfeld as “a source of strnegth” to the Sydney movement, and to his wife’s energetic advocacy of infant welfare among Jewish women, and her position as a member of the Council of Jewish Women. “Both- of our visitors are ardent leaders in the communal work of Sydney.” declared Mrs. Nathan, who is president of the Auckland Women's Zionist Society. Mrs. Rosenfeld, who is a forceful and ca-pable speaker, gave a series of travel impressions which much interested her hearers. She spoke of the American cities she had visited, and in particular of the different Jewish activities, mentioning the Council of Jewish Women and the work of the Hadassah, the medical association for Palestine. The Sydney A'isitor also declared how much she appreciated the warm welcome extended to her husband and herself by the Jewish people of Auckland. “Americans all seem too busy,” declared Mr. Rosenfeld, who was inclined to’ the view that there were too many speeches on ethics in the United States and too little religion. Commenting upon social movements he instanced the community chest in some cities, where the funds were pooled for charity purposes among the. different riligious denominations. A united appeal prevented overlapping, he said, and generally, the scheme appeared to be very successful. He also commented upon the different Hebrew associations, and made reference to the influence exercised among American Jews. MAORI W.C.T.U.

AT DIXIELAND

j GAY AND INFORMAL PARTY A PARISIAN FASHION Because it was Anniversary Bay. Dixieland decided to hold a special carnival dance last evening:, just for the sake of celebrating the founding of the jolly old province. That was the reason advanced for the dance, anyway, and any reason was good enough, as long as one could dance. Hot as tire night was the crowd who brave all weathers to dance to Clyde How ley’s delightful music, turned up in full force and spent a wonderful evening. The windows were all thrown open, and through them came welcome breezes off the stretcli of sea that dances beneath the pale silvery moonlight. The frocks worn by the feminine portion of the party were delightfully smart, and one tall slender brunette, once a resident of our city, and now a visitor from California, set a new fashion, or rather introduced a Continental one, that of wearing a sweeping hat in the cabaret. With an ankle length frock of black georgette and lace, she had a striking French wrap, but the interest of the crowd centred on her hat, of dimensions almost as enormous as the famous “cart-wheel" worn by Sweet Kell in olden days. During the evening cabaret items were given by Miss Owen McNaughton, who received an enthusiastic encore. The cabaret was illuminated in all kinds of novel ways, and Mr. Loveridge. the manager, was on deck throughout the evening, superintending the comfort of everyone and making himself generally popular. Among those present were: Mrs. Elliot Davis, Mrs. F. H. Hulber-. Mrs. George Thomson, Mrs. Elsie Pollard, Mrs. Dixon, Mrs. W. P. Hay. Mrs. Stewart, Mrs. Shelly (England), Mrs. C. Davies.

REGATTA DANCE AT BAYSWATER The Anniversary Regatta Day dance held, by the Takapuna Boating Club in the Bayswater Clubhouse last evening was a very jolly affair. Birtley’s first orchestra was in its usual good form and was heard in all the latest dance hits. Some splendid new yachting pictures have recently been added to the club’s collection, and these were hung round the walls in the dance hall. Rose and green is the new colour scheme for the supper room. Streamers of the two shades were strung from the walls and light shades of deep rose were fashioned very effectively of crepe paper. Committee women present included Mrs. Lidguard, Mrs. Hoverd, Mrs. .I. Dryland, Mrs. Edwards, Mrs. Gyde, Mrs. Burnett, Mrs. Deacon, Mrs. Aitcheson, Mrs. Inkster, Mrs. Laurence and Mrs. Blackwell.

The hall was prettily decorated with asparagus fern and streamers in the club colours, blue and gold. A very jolly little evening was spent in playing ping pong, dancing, etc. Several musical items and recitations were given by Mrs. O’Connell, Miss E. Tur-» ner and Mr. L. Kernot.

FAREWELL PARTY A farewell evening was given to Miss Marjorie Binning in St John’s Hall, Ohakune, by the members of the St. John’s Girls’ Guild. A most enjoyable programme had been arranged, consisting of competitions, games and dances, and a very enjoyable time w r as spent. During the evening the Rev. P. A. Stanley, on behalf of the guild, asked Miss Binning to accept a handsomelyfitted ladies’ hand-bag, as a small token of the esteem in which she was held by her fellow-members of the guild. He said they greatly regretted her departure, and they would greatly miss her, as she had been an ardent worker in their cause. In accepting the gift, Miss Binning suitably replied. A dainty supper was served, and the singing of “For She’s a Jolly Good Fellow” brought a most successful function to a close. An almost instantaneous cure .for toothache is to burn a piece of paper and inhale the smoke. Salt heated in the oven and rubbed well into the material will remove stains and grease-spots from serge or gabardine. Stir porridge with a flat egg-whisk instead of a spoon and it will not go lumpy.
