For the Mayor's Fund,

Mrs. Macarthy Eeid, who is ever to the fore in kindly works, has been asked to get up a bridge party on a large scale to help to augment the Mayor's Fund, and has consented to undertake another kindly piece of work. Mrs. Beid wishes specially to help those sewing guilds attached to tho 'Wellington churches of several denominations, as a number of willing workers belong to these who are becoming short of materials to work up into garments for unemployed and other needy people. She hopes, by this party to. be able to get a generous supply of materials, and that many of the Wellington kindly disposed people, who cannot come out with larger sums of money, will take this smaller mode of contributing to those who are suffering so much. Mr. Bassant has generously agreed to lend tho Palm Loungo for the party, which is arranged for ,21st June, this being a model place for comfort, and convenient situation. Other games besides bridge may be played, this being quite Optional, and Mrs. Beid hopes that she will have many applications for tables in tho near future. She is bow reuiding at Dr. Herbert's house on tho Terrace. Combined Motors' Ball. Among recent entertainments was a successful dance held by Combined Motors' at the Adelphi Cabaret.
