Collogo Cardon Foto. The members of the' Wellington Col- ;■ lego Old Girls' Association wore indeed most fortunate in having such" a very lovely day on Saturday for the garden / fete, which was hold in tho college grounds on Saturday afternoon and • evening: A great many people, clad in pretty summer frocks, were prcj sent, and the grounds ivoro a very

bright and animated air, with quantities of flags flying gaily in the breeze, pretty whit-e-cilad girls persuasively drawing, a 'possible purchaser's attention to, their wares,. and stalls niost:ef:f«;tively.' and picturesquelydecorated standing in various places about the grounds. .Not only were there excel'lent facilities provided for doing business, but there was a good programme arranged ;'fo'r .. all kinds -.'of amusements and' things were; not ; "allowed to; flag. Shortly after, three; Lady Ward arrived and formally opened 'the function,,; Miss Aanio Holmes, the - secretary, present- . ing her with a bouquet of beautiful yelloiy roses,tied .with, yellow, ribbon. She, was then conducted to - the various stalls, and the business 1 of the afternoon was : then> begun; The dancing by a largo number of girls , dressed in Japanese costumes' was greatly appreciated, and by * special request was re;pea<ted later on in.,the afternoon. ■■ Several gymnastic. items, under the/direction. of Mr. Harrison, . were ■ given' by the College girls,, looking . exceedingly \tnni :and neat in their navy, blue and white gymnastic ; drosses, while a; spectacular Indian club solo was performed by Miss Jukes. A school handball game was played by the girls, while those who_ crowded round the outside of the netting probably reflected upon the different directions that girls' -games were now taking. A series; of excellent concerts took place .inside the college, - in which'violin solos were-given by. Miss •D- Wells, .songs by- Miss. Gladys. Wat kins, recitation', Mr.. G. E. Porter; dance, Miss. Jean- Shirtcliffe; songs, Mr. Gerald Bell; whistling soloj Mr. Borneo Gardiner; song, Mrs. B. Wilson; recitations, Miss B. Luke; dances, Miss Tabuteau's pupils ; monologues, Miss F. Coote. 'Afternbon- tea was to be obtained,in the' Central Hall, which had been decorated with all kinds of floral devices.. In the evening the grounds were light-' ed up and a great deal of business transacted. .An entertainment , was. held in the Central Hall, in which faacy dancing, living pictures," and a comedietta, "The Sleeping Beauty," pjayed a leading part. M-iss Jukes again gave an Indian-club solo, Miss Mack a violin solo, and Miss E. Wyatt a song. There is no doubt-but that tho whole affair wis excellently organised, and it is principally owing to tho secretary, Miss Holmes, who worked most untiringly and organised so well, that the - affair proved to be such a success. The whole amount of money taken is not yet. known, but, judging by tho crowd who. wero present,' and the amount of business done, tho Honours Board for the college and the disappearance of tho old girls' debt must suroly be within sight.
