The movement originates from the Young Citizens' League, and plans for the entertainment of the girl-youth of the city are well forward, so .a treat may be anticipated in a month or two. Wellington has still another cabaret, and judging by the success which attended the opening last night, "The ': Ambassador," situated in Willis street, in thu rooms formerly known as the Stafford tearooms, is filling a want. ■■ Every table was occupied, and ' Mr. and Mrs. Saunders, who are in charge, are to be congratulated on the complete i arrangements of their opening night. Auckland's "Dixieland" was opened by Mr. and Mrs. Saunders just a year ago, and Wellington promises to equal Auckland in its appreciation of the novelty. i The room has been transformed into an j up-to-date hall, with small tables placed ! at intervals, afnd there is plenty of danc- ! ing space. The floor has been polished, | and its sinning surface makes an attractive contrast with the black and red colour scheme. The walls are panelled ( in the two shades, and are further decorated with a cream frieze ob which hand- j painted dancing figures make an inviting show. Red shades over the light, clus> i ters of crimson balloons, and the dainty tables add an original note to a really satisfying scene. The orchestra plays Iron);-a raised dais. Many attractive novelties are offered in the musical line, and quite an exuberant atmosphere was created last night, with the music, lights, dresses, playful squeakers, and the general appearance of happiness. In the small ante-room refreshments are served. The cabaret is open "every evening; when supper parties will be catered for, while ; i afternoon teas will also be dispensed. Dancing may be indulged^ in for a small extra charge. Last night's carnival will be featured every night this week, as so many were unable to figure in last night's opening. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Gage Williams, Mrs. : Eric Riddiford, Mr. and Mrs. J. Crawford, Mrs. Horace Hunt, Miss Hilda Miles, Miss. Phyllis Bates, Miss C. Baldwin, Miss Agnes Duncan, Mrs. Gray, Miss L. Morice, Miss Rapley, Miss Brandon; Mr. Pat Ward, Miss Alison Stott, Mr. ty Duncan, and many others.

A number of residents of'Eastbourne met last evening in the pavilion to make I "a presentation to Miss V. Roughton, who has occupied a position in the local school for the past seven years, and was now been transferred to the Thorndon School. A gold wristlet watch, the gift of parents of children attending the Muritai School, was presented by Mr. Jenkinson, chairman of the School Committee, who was supported by Messrs.' H. Wright and T. Pilcher. A musical programme was dispensed by Mrs. Heenan, Miss M... Smith, Miss E. Jackson, Mr. Hilton, and Mr. 0. Thompson, the accompaniments being played by Miss Gillies and Mr. 0. N. Gillespie. 'During the afternoon the children of the school assembled and presented Miss Roughton with a leather suitcase, the headmaster (Mr. E. King) doing so on their behalf. Misb R,oughton has been the leader of many social events 'in Eastbourne during the period of her j attendance at the school, and has organ- ' ised and trained the children in number- ! less concerts and plays, both during the war years and since, which have been ! instrumental in raising large • sums for various purposes. I Mrs. B. F. C. Leech, the first woman candidate to contest a seat for the Dunedin City Council, addressed a meeting yesterday, says a Press Association message, and was accorded a vote of thanks and confidence. .
