ST. GEORGE'S MARKET

St. George's annual market, to be held again this year at the Art Gallery, at the corner of Armagh and Durham streets, will be officially opened on October 11 by Archbishop Julius (patron). The doors will be open daily at 2 p.m. On the second day, Mrs Beauchamp Lane will open the bazaar at 2.30, and on the third day Miss Rose Muir, lady superintendent of the public hospital, will perform the opening ceremony. Last year a total of £ISOO was realised at the market, and it is hoped to equal the amount this year. Each year more patients enter the hospital, and this year especially the numbers have grown, and it is very evident that the hospital meets a real need. It is the wish of the directors to make real concessions to those who find it hard to meet the hospital expenses, but this can only be made possible by the response of the public at the annual market. The stall-holders and their friends have been working hard for six months to make the market a success, and by buying freely the public will be helping to minister indirectly to those whose sick bodies need both skilful and efficient nursing in a Christian environment. It is the proud boast of the stallholders that they can supply every need. They can fill anything from the larder to the "glory box." On Thursday there will be an exhibition of fancy dancing by Miss Lawson's pupils, and from 5.15 to 7 p.m. tea dances will be enjoyed.

N.Z. SOCIETY FOR PROTECTION OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN

R.N.V.R. DANCE

The Rev. P. Revell presided at an enthusiastic meeting held yesterday afternoon, at the office of the society, Gloucester street, to arrange details for the annual street collection, which will take place on November 3, representatives of different societies being present. It was unanimously decided that there should be a recommendation to the committee that a number of stalls be arranged for, such as produce, variety, cakes, and sweets. Sevex-al ladies present offered to take charge of the matter. An endeavour will be made to arrange for as many collectors as possible, as it is realised that upon the efficiency of the collectors defends the success of the appeal. Mr Revell emphasised the importance of the work of the society in the community. Unfortunately, the work of the society was generally of a confidential nature, he said, and its officers had to have tact and ability. Miss Cardale, in particular, did much to reconcile many couples who otherwise would find their way to the police and divorce courts. He believed if the public really knew the amount of work that the society did through Miss Cardale and her assistants, it would respond much more freely than it had done in the past. A further meeting will be held next Wednesday at 10.30 a.m.
