A SUCCESSFUL SOCIAL

EDUCATIONISTS MEET

"There was a largo gathoring of very cheerful people at the Mayfair Cabaret last evening when the president nnd members of the New' Zealand. Educational Institute entertained the''delegates to the conference at present meeting ia Wellington. Although the evening was damp and cold .outside} the pleasant cabaret was warm and "bright, and chrysanthemums and palms were used in decorations. Among tho invited guests wero the inspectors and chairman and secretary of the Education Board.

Miss Magill, president "of the institute, who received tho guests, wore a handsome gown of amethyst velvet. Part of the tiall was arranged for cards, and a number of bridge playors soon-found each other out, and games began. Tho.cxcellont orchestra played both old-time dances and now, and it appeared as if the educational people adhered to tho graceful' waltzes, etc., of the older times rather than the syncopated newer styles.

. Some very pretty frocks wero worn, and the sceno was a-pleasant one. 1 Supper was set in, the largo room, and paper caps were donned, speeches were made, some causing great amuscmont. Altogether the evening was a delightful interlude in tho serious business of conference.
