FAIR AT FENDALTON. On Saturday afternoon, at the residence of Dr. and Mrs John Stevenson, Fendalton, a remarkably successful sale of work was held, with the object of augmenting the b:iilding fund of the Mothers' Cottage at the Karitauo Baby Hospital, Cashmere Hills. The sale was a triumph of organising ability and skilled workmanship. For some" months a guild of ladies, under the leadership of Mrs Stevenson have met one afternoon a week and worked for thef sale. The result of their labours was seen on Saturday, when an unusually . attractive workstall was stocked with beautiful oldworld "house-wives." embroidered guest-towels, children's frocks wonderfullv smocked, apphqued and embroidered blotters and boxes, besides hosts of goods of a strictly utilitarian type The qnalitv of the works at the stall dispelled the popular idea that our grandmothers were more skilled and painstaking needlewomen than are the women of to-day. The members of the guild were Mesdames J. btevenson H S. Lawrence, P. Wynn Williams William Day, Charles Cooper, Frank Scott, E. J. Conner T. W. Cane, George Ait ken, Herbert ActonAdams, Malcolm Powne, Sloman, *. G. Gibson, Eric Harper, and Miss Bromley Cocks. In addition to the work stall, at which Mesdames Day, Cooper, Cordner, Lawrence, and Wynn Williams acted as saleswomen, a sweets-stall, in charge of Mesdames Stevenson, Acton\dams, and Aitken, did a brisk business, and Mesdames E. Harper and Scott and Miss Bromley Cocks quickly disposed of their stock of home-made cakes. Mesdames Sloman, Gibson, Powrie, and Cane dispensed afternoon tea to the visitors, amongst whom were Mrs J. Cracroffc Wilson (president of the Plunket Society), Mrs A. H Bristed (a former president), Mrs M H. Godby (honorary treasurer), and Mrs Cecil "Wood (honorary secreBeeause of the unsettled weather conditions, the fair had to be conducted indoors, but this fact m no way interfered with business. The net proceeds of the day proved to be the gratifying sura of £163.
