SYDENHAM KINDERGARTEN. ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS. This week, the Sydenham Free Kindergarten is celebrating the twenty-first anniversary of the founding of the kindergarten in Sydenham. In March 21 years ago, Sydenham opened its first kindergarten in the Hastings Street Hall; later it was removed to a larger hall in Queen street. It required eight years of unremitting effort to raise, in small sums, the amount required with which to build the present kindergarten building. The inspiration came at a time when the association was very short of funds. The new children's playground, at the corner of Queen and Wordsworth streets, had just been completed, and through the efforts of the Sydenham Public School Committee equipped, a small band of kindergarten parents assisting. This small number offered to conduct a fair in the playground to assist the funds of the association. They were so pleased with the result that, under the chairmanship of Mr Hobbs, they decided to work together to build a school of their own. Small sales of work and produce, small card parties, with sometimes the larger event of a fair, formed the principal means by which the £ 1000 was raised. It is worthy of note that, up to the time when the committee had £BSO in hand, no cash donation of more than 5s had been received. Of the original building committee, several members are still on the local management committee. Mrs Lester, with 13 years of service to her credit, is now convener; Mrs J. Rodda, who joined the committee a month later than Mrs Lester, is treasurer of the local committee. A total of 2200 children have passed through the Sydenham Free Kindergarten, and the present enrolment is approximately 84. The new school was opened four years ago, entirely free of debt. Fortunately it was built before the department ceased to make grants to the association, and about £ 1000 was received from the Treasury, this being £ for £ on the amount raised by the building committee. Social and Dance. Last night the past pupils were entertained by the local and parents' committees at a pleasant social and dance, and the large attendance showed that the former pupils still remembered with pleasure their kindergarten training. Miss H. Hull (principal), Mrs A. Peppier (founder of the Sydenham Kindergarten), and Miss I. Orange (director) welcomed the guests. The organising committee was Mrs A. Lester (convener), Mrs J. Rodda

(treasurer), Mrs G. Aitken (honorary secretary), Mr A. H. James (chairman), Mesdames A. H. James, McCracken, McClure, and N. Harper, Miss E. Rodd, Messrs N. Harper, and C. Rix, with members of the parents' committee. Items were given by Misses Kathleen Chappell, Jessie Rodda, and Jean Aitken. Mr R. Wood supplied music for the dances and Mrs Alfred Tumber acted as accompanist. The two-tier birthday cake made by Mrs J. Rodda from ingredients supplied by the local committee was decorated with 21 kewpies. The Guests. Amongst the past pupils present were Mr and Mrs W. G. Forsey, Mr and Mrs R. Lethem, Mr and Mrs M. P.

She wore a lovely trained gown of gold lace, made with a deep capelet at the back, and a flared peplum frill set low on the skirt, while the under-dress of gold lame had a corsage of cameo pink georfette and a hint of green gleamed eneath the deep pointed hip-yoke and was repeated in a long, narrow brooch, and in the belt, clasped with a buckle of green rhinestones.

NATIONAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN.

CONFERENCE OF DELEGATES. j (r&ESS ASSOCIATION I'ELEGJBUt.) WELLINGTON, March 28. About 30 delegates were present at the National Council of Women's Conference, The council has nine branches with a membership of 37,800 and there are 164 affiliated societies. The activities last year were outlined in the secretary's report. It was stated that some centres and branches had taken an active part in assisting unemployed women and girls. Resolutions had been sent to the proper authorities in regard to many matters, including the illicit sale of liquor, the nationality of married women, the appointment of,a woman on the Unemployment Board, a protest against the sale of. pernicious literature, and other subjects. In her presidential address Miss B. E. Carnachan said a study of modern affairs showed clearly that the nations of the world were inextricably bound together and they must build their hopes on a common solution. To do this they must have international understanding, and members of the National Council of Women should take a lead in bringing this about. They were working for the future and might never see the fruits of their labour, but they could rest assured that the effects of their 1 work would be more colossal than they could possibly imagine. She was sure the society was working along the right lines, but they must realise the immensity and importance of the task which must be attempted willingly, earnestly, and humbly. Civic Reception* The delegates to the Women's National Council were entertained this morning to tea by the Mayoress and accorded a civic reception at noon bythe Mayor (Mr T. C. A. Hislop). Possibly, said Mr Hislop, one of the subjects to be discussed would be that of unemployment, and he would suggest that it was necessary that the public should guard against overemphasis and against becoming obsessed with the problem and seeing only the comparatively large number of unemployed and forgetting the much larger number of employed. A proper perspective must be retained. People came to him so obsessed with the problem that they were ready to suggest all sorts of measures which on investigation, were shown to be valueless and would lead to 3 worse state of affairs than before. He quoted figures to show the position was not worse than last year, and he did not anticipate it would be worse this winter than last.

COMING-OF-AGE PARTIES. A pleasant evening party was held at the Stanley Street Hall to celebrate the coming-of-age of Ivy, flflt daughter of Mrs T. Davidson (Sprey-, don).
