DANCE AT KIRWEE.

The annual dance arranged by th« Kirwee branch of the Plunket Society was very successful, both socially and financially. A large gauiering of people from Kirwee and the surrounding districts filled the hall, which was gany and artistically decorated with streamers in varying shades of orange, yellow and brown, forming a canopy overhead, whilst the walls were adorned with greenery. Charmingly shaded lanterns added to the effect. The sup-per-room was a bower of greenery, interlaced with streamers -if scarlet and cineraid, quaint balloons, and . softly shaded lamps. During the evening two competitions were held, and the tickets drawn out by Mr Ford, Mayor of Riccarton A doll given by Mrs W. O. Lacey, and beautifully dressed by Mrs J. R.

Every summer more people are being attracted in England by the caravan ! holiday, but the latest development in this line, the aero-caravan, will probably remain for some time yet beyond the reach of the person of moderate means. Still, the eo-.t—£lsoo—com-pares favourably with that'of the first motor caravan, which cost £SOOO. The aero-caravan attains a high speed when in flight, and an arrangement of fold ng win s e-aVes it to l>e "pitched" n a comparatively restricted space. The body is lai-ge enough to hold two iolding with cupboards, etc. All lighting, cooking, and heating is, of course, done by electricity. .
