Several games and competitions were indulged in, the hat trimming competition espe< ially cans ing much amusement. We wen veiy pleased to have Mrs Penman, from Dunedin, who gave a ver> interesting and inspiring address on “Knthusiasm, ’ and as a result of her address ten new members were secured, as well a> twelve honorary ones. As a mark of appreciation, she was presented by Miss Jones with a beautiful floral tribute. The most attractive event ot the evening was the mysterious supper, the hist ever held in Invercargill. Our thanks were given to Mr A. S. Wallace for the help In* gave us. We also much appreciated the effort our President, Miss Birss, made to be present with us so shortly after the loss of her mother.
