The gratifying result of the bridge party held by permission of Lady Stout at, her residence, Wellington terrace, last evening will be about £23. There were fifteen tables, and with some promised donations the Society for the Protection of Women and Children will receive the sum of £25 for a, special purpose which was the aim of the originators of the party. Mrs Macarlhy Keid was the donor of two charming "prizes, which were won by airs, llalligan and Mrs. (Or.) Hunter. The large rooms were warm and bright, a dainty supper was provided by friends of the society, si ml all present had a very cheerful even- ! ing. Among those who took tables [ were Mrs. W. G. Reid, Mrs. W. Blundell, Miss Kebbell, Mrs. Robert Kennedy, Mrs. J. Dulhie, Mrs. A. Warburton, Mrs. Macarthy Reid, Mrs. Sievwright, Mrs. Meadowcroft, Mrs. W. li. Rose, .Mrs. Eric Johnson, Miss Tringhain, Mr. Maurice Myers, Miss Dirisbury, Mrs. Simpson, * Mrs. Davidson, Mrs. E. A. Wright. Mrs. Frazer, and other members of the committee, as well j an others interested in the society, with the result that the party was a great success. A successful dance-social was held receutly by tho combined Wellington Lodges of tho Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes at the Early Settlors' Hall, and a pleasant evening was spent by 200 members and friends. . The dance arrangements were in the hands of Bro. Carter, M.C., and the necessary music supplied by the Violet Orchestra. During the evening songs were given by Bros. C. Moody, Sid Griggs, J. Os^ borne, and Ross Williams. Primo J. Morris and Bro. Hearne were the acI companists. The supper arrangements | were in the hands of Bro. R. Seal. | Something quite new. has been arranged for Wednesday next, under the I auspices of the Kiibirnie branch W.N..H. in aid of Violet Day funds For the Residential Nursery. Mrs. Albert Russell has consented .to arrange and direct a cabaret afternoon at the Rialto, Manners street. An excellent programme has been arranged. Dancing wiil be interspersed with items by" leading artists. Community singing will-be included in a happy afternoon. Among other artists, Mrs. Russell will be assisted by Mr. Russell, which fact will ensure tiie presence of "joy germs;" Apart from' the worthy object of tho afternoon, the attractions should appeal to all. Tables may bo reserved. Other details are advertised. Writing about a needlework exhibition which has just taken place in Sydney, a Wellington resident says: "There was wonderful work, the embroidery and' crochet work being perfectly beautiful. There were such a number'of delightful dinner frocks made up over pale shaded silk—such as a creamy silk crochet over pale mauve, which gave a sort of irridescont effect that was quite new. The i tops of the frocks are made in little . crocheted rosebuds joined together, aiid handsome fringed girdles were made to match the frock. The paper frocks and hats were another big item. Some of the ■ paper frocks were lovely. One representing a sea-horse, which took the first prize,, was a beautiful thing, made of pale green and very pale pink paper, witli a very largo pule green helmet,, the whole thing being put like fish-scales, and which must have taken un immense timo to do. A Spanish dress .was also very pretty and well made. The paper . flowers were very artistic, and thero ; .wero several brides' bouquets -anti' . wreaths, wonderful to look at, though . one would not want to use them. A bridesmaid's bouquet of sweet peas was . really perfect, and the waratah and Iceland poppies wero among tho best '. there."

Much interest has been taken in the disposal by "naming" of a very beautiful doll presented to Mrs. Have's (Karori) for the benefit of the Egyptian Fair. The name was drawn yesterday by Mrs. R. A. Wright, in tho presence of ;t number of witnesses, and the lucky winner proved to b 3 Miss Telfer. of St Mary's Home, who chose the name of Esme.

Tho most amusing conceit from Paris for some time is buckles and ornaments designed for hats. They are to supersede flowers and ribbons and feathers, says an enthusiastic fashion writer. Perhaps. Anyway, they are' amusing, for the designers have evidently gone to the zoo and kept up with current events for inspiration.. Some of the ornaments show sleeping dragons all green and gold. Others lovebirds in brilliant tones, little red foxes, dogs, lizards, marmosets; and there are rodeo cowboys and girls, and children skipping. You can have a wholo story round the crown ot your hat if you can afford a series of tho ornaments.

The necessities of Duncdin in tbo housing direction aro shown in ibo fol-

lowing paragraph from the "Olago Daily Times":—Pathetic stories of two women, ono with eleven of .a family and the other;with six, who have tramped all over the city and visited numerous land agents in an unavailing attempt to obtain houses to rent, were unfolded to (ho Mayor (Mr. H. L. T.-ipioy), to whom the seekers caino as a, last resort. P.oth wnmon havo received notice from their landlord to quit their present promises, and arc in ;i quandary as t-o where to go. The scarcity of houses for letting purposes is most, ne.ulc, and those who have bonsrs io let do not ?.cein disposed to consider those with children as iloHiralilo tut/ants.
