The cookocl food company formed in Duncdin for the purpose of overcoming housekeeping difficulties by women who must have some help, is working successfully. Mrs. Leech, the chairwoman, interviewed recently, said the demand for dinners was increasing daily, that customers came back and ordered regularly, that dinners for as many as 12 were supplied to one order, and that the record output for a day to date was 69 dinners. Some would-be customers have had to be refused, because their residences are too far away. .Mrs. Leech adds that it is as yet too early to say definitely how the enterprise will turn 'out financially, but that in all matters upon which a pronouncement can be made the company's operations are all right.

About 400 couple's were present, and the dancing took place chiefly in the hall, but the folding doors on each side were thrown open, and dancers were io be seeu gliding around in all the passages. The splendid assembly hall, of its kind without peer in all Xew Zealand, beautiful in its massive simplicity, was a fine setting for the hundreds of gay frocks which crowded the floors, while the long galleries provided a good promenade during the intervals. Unfortunately the gas was so very low that the room was in a twilight shadow, and the dancers just a gay mass moving in a grey world. The stage had been arranged as a. drawingroom, and it was occupied by chaperones and guests and decorated with some very fine daffodils and pot plants lent by Professor Thomas.
