TO COMMEMORATE "ANZAC"

DINNER TO RETURNED SOLDIERS. In order to mark the anniversary of the famous landing at Anzac of the New Zealand troops—the first to fight on European soil—the Wellington Patriotic Society has decided to give returned soldiers a dinner in the Town Hall on Saturday evening next. It is antici--1 pated that there will be from 250 to 300 "heroes of Anzac" present. A few good after-dinner speeches will be ma.de. and between times suitable musical items will be given. The gallery .is to be thrown open to the public at one chilling per head, the money to> bo devoted to some patriotic object. Mr. J. Lewis (secretary) states that the Mayor (Mr. J. P. Luke) lias kindly consented to allow tho society the free use of the hall. The dinner will last from 7.30 to 10.30 p.m. The death is announced of Miss Ella Hurley, second daughter of .Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Hurley, of 102 Pirie Street, Wellington. Heart failure was the cause of' death, but for some weeks past it had been remarked that' her general health seemed to havo greatly improved. The end came very .peacefully. Miss Hurley had for years been identified with iisoful / work in the Girls' Realm Guild*- St. Mark's citoiri the Royal Wellington Choral Society, and ever since the beginning of the war she-had been a willing helper.- For years she was troubled'with a weakness of her heart, but bravely : battled against it, and always exhibited a sunny and lovable disposition. Her father, who has been for several months away from home on, Boy Scout business, .turned for his Easter holidays, only five hours before his daughter passed away. A practice by moonlight of those, wflo, are taking part in the. burlesque football match to be played to-day, between ladies versus soldiers in hobble-skirts) was held at Newtown Park last evening. The N.Z.N,A. Ladies' Guild has organised the match in aid of their work .for returned wounded soldiers. They have made the skirts for the soldiers, but oven in tho height of the fashion they were hardly so limited as to be only one yard round tho hem. The soldiers, will certainly have •to compete against difficulties. There is to be a procession prior to the match, and other attractions have been promised. . The visiting delegates to the annual conference of the New Zealand Women Teachers' Association wgig tliG gucsts of the Wellington members of the associaI tion at six o'clock tea at Miss Tendalre i tea-rooms 011 'Thursday, the conference adjourning from, its delibera* ' tions for that- purpose. Mrs. K. Wilson is taking L?dy 'Stout's place as- hostess at the Soldiers' Club on Sunday, and Mrs. D. Stewart is taking Tuesday instead of Mrs. Boden. i One of the sights of the times in London is tho appearance on the box.seats of motor-cars of -black servants.- The idea is extended to other domestio posts. Smp.ll black page-boys are replacing hall-boys or even footmen in the • big houses. It is thought to 'be smart as well as patriotic for a woman of fashion to be followed, as her ancestress was in the time of the last King George, by' one of these diminutive black creatures. Society keeps a fairly snaip look-out on itself to see if anyone dares to maintain a staff of man-servants. .A I case in point, occurred recently, where a lady possessing a butler and three footmen was reproved by ,her friends. Her explanation was that she was supporting four delicate and otherwise unfit individuals who are not strong .enough for other work. - The latest - and the mode of these everchanging times—Parisian ' Bloom (Fraicboirf, Paris, Reg.), as distributed brMiss Milsom sole agent.
