The iablet occupies the place qf honour in the largo entrance hall, and around it, on Saturday stood many women who consider that their lives have been made better and happier through the influence of Mrs Gard'ner, whom to love was in itself a liberal education. The erection of the hostel was the crowning glory of Mrs Gard'ner's years of strenuous selfless service, and the dignity of the building and its furnishings and the beauty of the grounds bear witness of her determination that girls might be trained in housecraft amid surroundings in which their tastes would be formed for the true, and good, and beautiful. After the unveiling ceremony had been performed by Mrs Croasdaile Boweu, the visitors were shown over the. building and expressed great admiration of the fine extension to the hostel. Tea was served in the sunny drawing room, gay with bowls of lovely spring flowers. A few of the many present were Dr. and Mrs D: E. Hansen, Colonel Murray Gard'ner, and his sister, Mrs R. J. Loughnan, Mrs Croasdaile Bowen, Miss M. V. Gibson, Mrs Herbert, Mrs C. Chilton, Miss Gilmour, Miss Bishop, Miss Beck, Miss Graham, Miss Mildred Trent, Miss Chaplin, Mrs H. 0. D. Meares. Mrs W.

The United Swimming Club was her especial care and its members owe much to her loyal support and unfailing generosity v f The late Mrs Simes was of a kindly disposition and was never happier than when dispensing hospitality in her own home. Her cheerful liature helped her in her last. long illness, which she bore with the greatest patience and fortitude. To her husband and family sincere sympathy will be extended by a large circle of friends. _, __ FANCY DRESS CARNIVAL.
