CONCERNING GIRL GUIDES

A particularly cheerful and * success- I ful afternoon, party was lleld by t!i« Girl Guides at {lie Victoria tloirte for oid people recently, which was very greatly eiijoyed by. the entertainers as well as the. dnte'rtaiiied. The Maruiitii company, under Jtiss Mathers, was responsible for tlie afternoon, arid soiigs were sung, games played, aiid 'demonstrations of Guide work given ."The. recitations and old riiirserj- aiid folk songs Were among the particularly successful.items; though whefc alt was so good and appreciated - it was'difficult to discriniiiiate. "The old folk jdifted iii sonic of the best-known songai and -youth aiid age foregathered together most, hitppily. The Guides had brought .provision for afternoon )ea. which was handed round and enjoyed, and later left with requests .and promises "to -coinfe again sO'oh;" It is hot all young people,-who realise what great pleasure a,little of their company arid attention gives to bid people, or perhaps tlies'e occasibiis would Occur a little more often. . Bui the Girl Gbides have given a splendid "lead," and it is possible tliat during the dark months of winter there feill be a, number of such pleasures for the old folk. . Mrs-. M_aurice tlolland, who was an Able interim Commissioner for the Wellington district, in the absence of Lady Chaytor, finds that she is unable to keep the position indefinitely owing to pressure of other duties; therefore \yili only retain her , own . particular company of Guides (one of the laTgest in Wellington). .It is hoped to. find a provincial head as soon as possible, as without one the organisation is under a number of disabilities. Mrs. W. R. Wilson, of> Auckland, Commissioner for the Dominion, is leaving by the Tahiti next week for a much-needed holiday. Mrs. Wilson has not spared herself in any way ih her work for the movement, hnd'riseds a rest and change. It is hoped that she will have the best possible, and come back able to take up her fine work again.
