BRIDGE PARTY

Y<M.C.A. DIAMOND JUBILEE YEAR

This year, the Christchurch branch of the Young Men's Christian Association will celebrate its diamond jubilee, and arrangements are now being made for various functions in order that the jubilee may be celebrated in a suitable manner. The first of these functions was the bridge party held last night in the Automobile Association's club rooms by members of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the association. The auxiliary has as its objective for the year the renovation of the vestibule in the association's building, and the proceeds from last night's party will augment the fund for that purpose. Mrs Stanley Wilkinson, president of the auxiliary, 'Mrs S. L. Partridge, and Mrs J. E. Fleming received the guests.
