Last Thursday a garden fete was held in Pukekura Park, in aid of the Poor in Britain and Belgium funds, and the ladies who took such an interest in this function, and worked so untiringly, <le'serve the greatest praise for its unqualified success. Each individual, who worked for his or her stall, treated it as a labor of love, so smiles and beams of delight greeted one everywhere. Each stall, representing one of the Allies, was prettily decorated with its Nation's colors, but the two which stood out in greatest 'prominence were the 'flower stall and Vogeltown Tea Kiosk. The frontage of the former was prettily trellised with emerald green ribbon intermingled with mosses and asparagus fer n deftly backed with masses of sweet j peas and gorgeous bowls of shaded pink ' roses. Truly it was a lovely sight. The I Vogeltown kiosk was of a bolder de-1 sign, but on the exquisite site on ■ the. side ef the top lake, it looked brilliantly gay, with its flags of cverv 'nation, encircling it.
