The- Two-Garment Society holds its an- ■ lvual distribution of clothing at.the Girls Friendly Society Lodge in Vivian Street on Friday afternoon. This society, of which Lady Islington is president and Mrs. C. Izard secretary, in a quiet, way does a great deal to supply necessary clothing to those who happen to have met with misfortune, but, unfortunately, like many kindred societies; finds-there are more to be helped than it can quite cope with. During the year .1910 fully 70S) new and 1211 worn garments were contributed, and a'total of 2857 distributed to various private cases, Wellington homes, and missions. With the winter at hand, warm garments' are urgently needed, and would be warmly welcomed,-by the society for distribution among those, people who .have but small chance of-obtaining them .for' themselves. -, Everything contributed should-.be sont-.to the lodge -by' Friday morning.'at : the.)• latest..- During tho absence of Mrs. Izard' in .-England, the duties of secretary are . carried out by Mrs. A.

Girls! Club In Auckland. A proposal to form a club,in Auckland for girls under 20 has been discussed by the Y.W.C.A.- The objects of the club,, as stated by Miss; Stillwell,'. M.Sc,'■ .nre. classes'in blouseihaking, singing, carving, fancywork, literature, ,aud elocution, to bo held each Friday,- and membership to be open to all girls under 20, without any distinction.- It was most important that girls should use wisely their spare time while growing up so thatthey will be ready to meet the responsibilities 'that would come to them later. Some of their number might become great singers, or writers, but though that did.not come to pass, one could be sure many present would be called later on/ to take charge of a home, and they would need to fit themselves in every way for that important post.
