The lounge of the Lyceum Club, Wellington, looked specially lovely recently whep Mrs. W. Bailey, leader of the penwomen’s circle, entertained circle members and friends at an afternoon Christmas party. Bowls of deep red roses, pastel-shaded irises and lupins, poppies and greenery made a lovely ■picture.

There was a short, programme of delightful music, those contributing being Mrs. Hector Gunn (solo pianist), Mrs. Schloss (soprano solos), and Miss Hyams (solo violin), air numbers being accompanied by Mrs. Gunn. Mrs. A. D. Kerr, M.A., recited a Kipling poem and Mrs. Gerald Lyon gave several charming stories in connexion with her recent visit to Singapore. A delightful afternoon tea was served from the Lyceum cake kitchen.
