FAREWELL PARTY AT RANNERDALE

SISTER FLYNN HONOURED

A farewell party in honour of Charge-Sister Flynn, who will shortly leave Rannerdale Home, was held on Friday evening, when a presentation of an afternoon tea service and English cut glass flower vases, was made by the matron on behalf of the staff and patients. Mr A. Russell referred to the fact that Sister Flynn had been a war sister, had been nursing returned men at the military sanatorium and at Rannerdale Home for the last six years, and had been most conscientious in the performance of duties. The patients were extremely sorry • that Sister Flynn had found it necessary to retire, and hoped that her retirement would "be only temporary, and that she would soon return to her professional duties after a well earned rest. Mr J. Morgan and Mr C. Jamieson also paid tribute to Sister Flynn's many good qualities, and said that in losing her they were losing a valued friend. Mr Cranfield, who responded on behalf of Sister Flynn, thanked those who had contributed toward the purchase of the beautiful gifts, and said Miss Flynn appreciated the kindly thought and words that had been expressed that evening. The gifts would be a permanent reminder of the happy days she had spent at Rannerdale Home. Sister Flynn was accorded musical honours. Mr Taylor contributed a number of songs, and recited verses of his own composition in honour of Sister Flynn.

One of the complaints hear:! frequently in recent years has been of the difficulty experienced by girls in obtaining husbands of merit. The financial dislocation has been the prime cause, but thei are other considerations. One is doubt about the reliableness of the modern man. fie is accused of seliismy desiring all his money for his own pleasures. He is entertaining, but not serious. Worthy husbands .re still procurable, however v.vrites the Sydney correspondent ot the Melbourne '"'Argus"). This has Been demonstrated by the organisation of business girls known as the Kooroora Club. The club was founded so that it might meet at A arranged by the club and la listen to addresses and so hat tlev might work for charity. The club was formed four years ago, and recently it held a luncheon m honour of its foundation members. Half a dozen of these attended with their husbands, and several with children as well. InteUigent business girls are esteemed highlj m business and out of it.

WOMEN'S CLUB

ANNUAL ARTS AND CRAFTS DISPLAY Members of the Canterbury Women's Club have earned a reputation for their hospitality and for their artistic floral decorations for the entertainments held in their rooms, but; it is not until the annual exhibition of work that fellow members and their friends learn how odd moments have been utilised by the Handwork and Arts and Crafts Circle. At the exhibition held in the clubrooms yesterday afternoon, Mrs J. S. Flesher (president) officially welcomed visitors. The exhibition continued from 2.30 to 9 o'clock and the large number of women who inspected the work, showed that although women may have entered masculine fields of employment thev are still very feminine at heart, and if they themselves are not of an artistic nature they are at least appreciative of the work of others. Special attention had been paid to the arrangement of the various exhibits, and large flower pots of tulips decorating the dais added to the general artistic effect. One small table had been arranged with bouquets of tangerine abutilons, pansies. and polyanthus by Mrs Brown, a member of the arts circle. Marquetry work was much m evidence.' some of the large jardinieres having typical Canterbury scenes depicted on them, and New Zealand flora and fauna were used with good efleet on trinket boxes, book-ends, nut bowls, vases, and candle-sticks, the polished surfaces in many cases having cjuitc a professional finish. Mrs J. Richards, director of the art circle, displayed a (able of beautifully designed and hand-painted crockery, and parchment lamp shades shown to advantage on the stage. Some cups and saucers painted and fired in Christehurch by Miss Edna Bruce, attracted much attention. On the walls were hung water colours, oils, pictures embroidered in silks, tapestry pictures and etchings. The present day revival of old handwork was noticed by two exhibits —one kindly lent for exhibition was an early Victorian firescreen, beautified with tapestry, and the other a tapes-try-covered stool worked by Miss A. E. Smith, a member of the circle.

Hand-knitted jumpers and bedjackets, wool work on organdi, and finely worked supper-cloths showed a variety of original designs, and crocheted edges. The work bore evidence that many club members had not been content with the "lazy daisy" stitch, but had delved into the old time samplers, the lesser-known stitches to combine with french knots, cineraria, and satin stitches. Mount Mellick, and Venetian work. Many particularly well finished articles were displayed by Mrs J. Hall in this section. Wool rugs. crocheted d'oyleys, hand-made lace, patchwork quilts, and padded bedspreads, the result of days, and perhaps years, of patient work, were all admired.

A number of framed pictures made from tinsel papers were shown by Miss Ranger. Among the articles lent tor exhibition by members and their friends was a supper-cloth with finely crocheted wide corners made by Mrs Whitrnorc, who arrived in New Zealand by the Charlotte Jane. The cloth which she finished before her death, at the age of eighty-six years, was presented at a meeting of the Pilgrims' Association to Mrs Flesher ('president nf the club!, for whom it had been made. Other articles included a hand- j worked christening frock more: than j 100 vears old, and a baby's bonnet. 107 year's old. lent by Mrs Dr.vid Bale;:. The smallest sleeping doll, and a uiu:t, more than 120 years old, and an old bowl and plate in willow pattern wore | displayed on the same table. In a" window recess were old Wedgwood cups and saucers, inlaid boxes more than 100 years old. pewter ware. Dresden china ornaments, and a copy of the London "Times" of 1805. with the official account of the battle of Trafalgar, lent by Mrs W. G. Bowron. On the opposite wall was hung a framed sampler worked by a nine-year-old girl in 1803. Lengths of old Brussels lace and Limerick lace, lent by Mrs Wondclborn were displayed witli an old palch-i work quilt made of pieces of silk j feather stitched together. Two exhibits that created much interest were a small agate snuff boxused by Florence Nightingale, and an ebony snuff box reputed to have' been used by St. Patrick-. Both exhibits had been lent by Mrs, Neil MeGillivray. Madame Just, who gave an exhibition of Swiss darning during the afternoon, also displayed a table of Swiss embroidery, appliqued net, and Swiss carving. A long trestle table of basketry stools. work baskets, paper baskets, and trays was arranged at the back of the room and showed another type of work that has become popular with circle members. SELWVN KINDERGARTEN The children oi Selwyn Street Kindergarten celebrated the thirteenth anniversary of their school when they proudly donned birthday bonnets and caps and entertained the visitors and parents who attended the school for the occasion with a varied programme of juvenile games, songs, and dances. Mrs N. Patterson, in the absence of Mrs F. Hamlin, welcomed the visitors. Mrs H. T. J. Thacker, president of the Kindergarten Association, Mrs F Peppier (secretary), and Miss H. Hull (principal). Miss Hull, in a short address, spoke of the growth of the kindergarten, and added that if the number oi pupils kept increasing, another kindergarten would soon be needed in the neighbourhood. She praised members of the local committee and parents' committee for the work they had done in arranging various ciforts to help with the upkeep of the kindergarten She also drew attention to the fine lawn that had been planted and was now looking at, its best. After their programme of items, the children were provided with a birthday afternoon tea and watched the ceremony of cutting the birthday cake, which had been .made and presented by Mrs E. J. Bell.
