Revile for Cancer Fund.

A particularly interesting effottv for. the Cancer Fund will be held on Monday and Tuesday, at the Masonic Hall.

Tenor songs: by Mr. Osborne, and other solos; an amusing comedj'j "Waiting For the Bus," by Gertrude Jennings, and. a number of other attractions will be presented,, making altogether an enticing, programme. Some very beautiful work by Mr. Keys (Pukeora Sanatorium) will be on sale, also cakes and sweets; The girls are making their own costumes, and. also many accessories for the production, and the scene will'be a very charming one. The D.I.C. "authorities'' are most interested in the entertainment, and have given, all pos j sible assistance to the good cause. It is hoped that the' public will'-support this admirable effort. ■..-• - ■ Women Police Again. . : . . . • "Immigration, -woman's clubs, and the National Council of Women are other matters :in which she takes an active interest," writes an interviewer in London, referring to Lady Sidcy..
