VARIOUS PARTIES

(From "The Post's" Representative.) NELSON, July 29.

A small "five . o'clock" party was I given this week by Mr. J. P. Hayes and Miss D. Hayes. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Leggatt, Colonel and Mrs. Lorimer, Dr. and Mrs. Williams, and Dr. and Mrs. D. C. Low. A very delightful children's party was given by Mrs. W. G. Hilliard at Bishopdale for her small daughter Helen. The day was cold, but the guests had lots of fun indoors over an impromptu entertainment. Picture parties are very popular, with either dinner before hand or supper afterwards. Hosts recently have been Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Cock, Dr. and Mrs. Williams, and Mr. and Mrs. A. Leggatt. A very enjoyable bridge party was given a few days ago by Mrs. R. H. Davies at her home on the Port Hills, and the room looked charming with early spring flowers and a blazing log fire. Some of the guests were Mesdames J: Hume, J. P. S. Jamieson, C. Campbell Smith, D. C. Low, J. Williams, H. S. Leggatt, E. T. Menlove, C. R. Fell, and Misses Rees, Turton, and Gray. Farewell. A very happy lime was spent a few evenings ago by a large number of parishioners, when they met to bid farewell to the Rev. Neil Chambers, who is leaving All Saints to take over the Sounds' Parish. Mr. Chambers is also to be married soon, and on behalf of the congregation Mr. F. I. Ledger made him a presentation.
