A HAWERA LETTER.^ A most enjoyable social, on behalf of the 'Maori deaconess work, was held tk» other evening. Admission was gainad by cups and saucers. There was a large gathering, and when the crockery is sold the Maori work will (benefit to the extent of several pounds. The Rev. Mr. Boys presided, the musical portion of the programme being in charge of Miss Hutchens. A social was held in the Foresters' Hall in aid of a new class room for the Convent School. The Roman Catholics do not hold public entertainments' in aid of their church, but they make bold to appeal to the public in aid of their school 'by reason of the fact that 25 per cent, of the pupils attending the school are non-Catholics. There was a good attendance, and everyone appeared to appreciate the splendid condition of the floor on which they tripped gaily to the strains of iMoosman'a Orchestra. Mr. A. Greaves is contemplating a trip to Australia and England.
