UNIVERSITY WOMEN

ANNUAL. DINNER PARTY

The annual supper party, given by the University Women's Club was held recently in the pleasant club rooms, Lambton Quay. As it was the concluding social function of the year's activities, every effort was made to ensure its success, and an energetic committee, with Mrs. E. H. R. Green as convener, provided an extremely-happy J evening for the forty members who ] were present. An exhibition of metal work, .arranged by tho Handwork Circle, w»s held in conjunction with the supper party, and members had the opportu- j uity of seeing an interesting branch of the club's many activities. Some very! beautiful work was on view—book-ends, boxes, plaques, and firescreens in enamelled pewter and brass provoked much admiration. The brightly-lit rooms and the long supper tables were, gay with bowls of roses and sweet peas, while masses of hydrangeas added a colourful note to the decorative scheme. An entertaining programme was opened with a health toast to the president and vice-pre-sidents, proposed by Miss Van Staveren, and responded to by Mrs. Sommerville. Songs by Miss Priestley, elocutionary items by Miss Matthews, and two amusing competitions were appreciated by the members. Later Barries one-act play, "The Twelve Pound Look" was read by Mesdames' Green, Baldwin, Powles, and Yaldwyn. A short speech by Miss Watson, and the singing oC "Auld Lang Syne" marked the end of what was undoubtedly one of th» happiest functions of the year,
