Hallowe'en, that anniversary that in | old times was celebrated with a wealth j of quaint ceremony, was marked last night by a children's party, given by the Scottish Society, of Wellington. The little guests (about 100 were present) had the best of good times, with games and dpncmg, and greatly enjoyed some of the old customs of the evening, such as bobbing for apples. There was no kailyaid near by, otherwise the elder guests might have found out what, their future husband and wife would be like, according to the style of cabbage-stalk they pull up in the dark. If earth is clinging to the roots, he or she will bo wealthy, and then what matters if the stalk be lanky or short and squat ! Scottish dances were danced by the ilisses Alice and Violet Campbell, Rita W.estwood, and E. M'Dermott; Master M'Lean sang, and Miss Myrtle Campbell and Master Murray recited. Mrs. M'Mtillen and Mrs. Marshall played the music for the dancing, and Mrs. Campbell,, assisted by Mesdames Ballantyne, M'Lean, M'Lennan. and Furlong, helped to amuse the guests. St. Peter's Hall, where the party was held, was decorated with "flags and lycopodium, and the supper tables, in the adjoining room, with flowers. On Thursday Mrs. Graham Moffat and the other lady members of the "Bunty Pulls the Strings" Company were entertained at afternoon tea by Mrs. J. Culford Bell at her residence in Majori-banks-street. Mrs. Bell was acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Moffat and Miss Louie Linck (Mrs. Moffat's sister) in Glasgow. There were also present Mrs Purdom, Mrs. James Hannah, and Miss Mabel Gallichan, and a very enjoyable time was spent. The hostess wore a very pretty biscuit-colourad frock with touches of old rose, and Mrs. Moffat mauve silk with black plumed hat. The Sunday a-fteraoon service at the ' Y.W.C.A. will be taken by members of the Bible Class from the Vivian-street Baptist Church, under the leadership of Mr. Chant.

Parcels may still be sent to the Y.W.C.A. clubroom or hostel, as another cose is k in readiness for packing- ! The death occurred this week, at Christchurch, of Mother St. Juliana.

Another proof of the eagerness of women to spur on the recruiting is furnished by an advertisement m a London paper. The writer, on being interviewed, said she 'felt the recruiting was far from satisfactory, and if women wero in this way to offer their services it would arouse the workers to the gravity of the position. The advertisement is as follows .'—"Doctor's wife, middle-aged, will undertake to perform the work of any tramway conductor, coachman, shop assistant, or other married worker with children, provided that the worker will undertake to enlist and fight for his country in our hour of need. The wages earned will be paid to the wife and family. Apply to Mrs. Lowry, 1, Kew Green, S. W." Bridal shower bouquets are a feature of every pretty wedding.
