TE WAIPOUNAMU

ANNUAL GARDEN PARTY Te Waipounamu, the Maori Girls' school in Ferry road, always has a great attraction for those interested in the welfare of the Maori race, and each year visitors who attend the annual garden party, held in the grounds, are fascinated with the graceful movements of the pupils in their poi and folk dances. The annual fete was well attended on Saturday, afternoon, and seated under shady-trees on the lawn, sheltered from the bright sunshine, the visitors were entertained with a programme of dances and hakas given by the pupils in their trim navy and scarlet uniforms, the flower gardens and carved Maori chapel forming an effective and appropriate background. Dean Julius, who officially opened the fete, said that it had been held, each year for two purposes, to raise: funds in order that the work may be continued at the school, and to afford visitors an opportunity to see the beautiful surroundings of the school itself. He reminded his audience of the visit to the diocese of Bishop Bennett, the main purpose of his visit being to enlist support for the school. The school work was one of the most important being carried on in the diocese, said Dean Julius. He apologised for the absence of Eishop and Mrs West-Watson, and also for Mrs H. J. Marriner, an old supporter of the school, who, owing to illhealth, had been unable to attend. Much interest was taken iri the stalls where marquetry in Maori designs and colouring were displayed, New Zealand flora and fauna and Maori scenes being featured on the needlework stalls. On the produce stall, a cake made by Mrs A. F. Lange and iced by "a lover of the Maoris," attracted much attention during the afternoon, its chief decorations being-a carved miniature pa and tiki. Afternoon tea was served by Mrs G. Nelham Watson and Mrs W. J. Hands, assisted by the guilds of St. Mark's Church, Opawa, and Holy Trinity Church, Avonside. Messrs Bayliss, David and Douglas McFadden played musical selections. Members of the council responsible for organising the party were Dean Julius, Canon A. H. Norris, Mesdames Lawrence, E. Haines, C. Niven Forrest, G. Nelham Watson, A. I. Fraer, Messrs J. E. M. Rountree, L. E. Haines, and Huntly Eliott. The stallholders were as follows: Produce, Mesdames Stewart Baxter and John Baxter and helpers; sweets, Girls' Guild of St. Francis; bran tub, Mrs T. J. McWilliam and St. John's Girls* Guild; miscellaneous, Miss V. Gardiner. Bonnie Voice and helpers; cakes, Mesdames Lawrence Haines, Lawrence Wilson, A. I. Fraer, C. Niven Forrest, Hewland, and Miss Wilson 'Sumner); Maori marquetry, Miss E. W. Wright and school staff; ice cream, Miss G. Newell and helpers.

VICE-REGAL VISITORS

RACES AT RICCARTON BRILLIANT SUNSHINE AND ATTRACTIVE FROCKS The Canterbury Jockey Club's spring meeting concluded at Riccarton on Saturday. It had been a notable carnival, one of the most successful in recent years, and it ended even more pleasantly and happily than it had begun. The weather was perfect, and the crowd, far from being eximmted after a week of racing, was askeen and sprightly, as it had been on Cup Day the previous Saturday. Everyone was in merry mood and everyone was buoyed up with hope. Those who had, speculated unwisely earlier in the week felt that they had acquired so much knowledge that they could easily make good their losses; those who were "ahead of it were eager to get further ahead. But all were good humoured and gay, and ail enjoyed the meeting, which was honoured by the presence of the Gover-nor-General, Lord Bledisioe, and Lady Bledisloe. x . . . , The dressing was particularly attractive. Long filmy frocks with short sleeves, gaily patterned frocks, frocks of plain material, in pretty colours, all showed to advantage on the lawns in brilliant sunshine, and, as the day was calm, big hats were worn in comtort. Accessories, all important in presentday fashions, were varied and interesting. Tulle and organdi ruffles made a charming reappearance, necklines were softened with flat flowers, kiltings were popular, collars and belts assumed great importance, and a tew parasols gave an air of ; jauntiness to the scene.

Hcaton Rhodes, Mrs Elworthy, and Mrs George Macdonald. Their Excellencies were attended by Captain John Tweedie, A.D.C., and ln--1 eluded in their party were Miss V. Hyncs and Miss Sheila Hudson. Ladj Bledisloe wore a lovely frock of leal green crepe de chine, with bands oi faggotting on the bodice and pointed yoke, collar and soft revers of parchment tinted lace. Her small straw hat, with upturned brim matched her frock, and she wore two large pink carnations in her beige fur. Mrs Elworthy wore a navy crepe de chine frock, patterned in white m small fern-leaf design, und finished with a red buckle at the neckline and uncommon belt of red and navy patent leather. Her wide navy hat was trimmed with touches of red and blue fringed ribbon. Miss Hynes wore a long frock of Imperial blue crepe de chine trimmed with blue apphqued net, which formed the yoke and finished the uncommon sleeves. Her Imperial blue straw hat was banded with pale pink ribbon, and ruched blue velvet, and she wore a white fox I fur. Miss Hudson's basqued frock was of binck, red, and beige crepe, patterned on leaf design, and her Wide brimmed black hat had a crown ot beige Valenciennes lace and a band of black cire ribbon.

F. Marshall, a member of the New Zealand Poultry Board, and secretary to the New Zealand Utility Poultry .Club, in an address at a field and inspection day at the club's egg-laying competition grounds at Papanui on Saturday. "While we must cater for the local market," he said, "it should be understood that export is not only desirable, but that it cannot be done without. If there were no # export trade, the price of eggs this year would probably have been 6d a dozen. To show how the Dominion was building up an export trade he quoted the following export figures:— Dozen. 1932 .. •• 48,000 \im . ■■ 145,000 1934 .I -. 160,000 In Australia, he said, poultrymen had found it necessary to export their eggs up to February and March, and he thought the keepers here would soon have to consider extending their export season to November and December. In the absence of regulations, export would do more than anything else to stabilise prices. ANNIVERSARY OF SUNDAY SCHOOL There were record attendances at th« Sunday school anniversary services of St. Paul's Methodist Church, Sumner.

On behalf of the teachers and scholars he presented her with a cut-glass cream and sugar set. On behalf of the church Mr F. N. Kerr presented Miss Austin with a set of silver fish knives and forks, and on behalf of the Literary Society Mr L. H. Fee presented her with a cooking dish.
