Afternoon tea was served. Gay Fancy Dress Party. A cheery crowd of young people 8 attended the party vgiven at the National Club by Mr. J. C. Crawford for his son, Coutts. The order of the evening was "fancy dress," and all the guests turned up in bright costumes, which made a very charming scene. The decorations were of bright streamers and flowers, and the supper was of the "super-excellent" kind, with a central punch bowl; which was an appreciated item. Squeakers and streamers were given out, and added much to the noise and fun of the evening. All nations practically were represented in the costumes. "Scrooge" turned up under a green umbrella, and a quite life-like Hitler represented the interests of the day. The guests gave hearty thanks to their host. Miramar Card Players. The weekly card evening held in the Miramar,Central School on Saturday evening drew the biggest attendance to date. The schoolroom was filled to capacity, and the Home and School Association funds were augmented considerably. The ladies of the committee supplied and served a dainty supper to the many guests. Extra prizes were donated. The following were the prize-winners:—• Mesdames Morton, Mulholland, Murray, Eyres, Meaclem, Butler, Ringrose, Norris, Froude, and Messrs. McGoslin and Roberts. TheJiostess was Mrs. L. Welch, who wore a smart evening gown of black flowered satin. When the right hand of your rubber gloves begins to wear, turn both gloves inside out, and wear the right glove on the left hand and the'left glove on the right hand. They will wear much longer, as the strain is not so great on the left hand. Dust them occasionally with French chalk. To prevent mould from forming on the top of a jar of pickles, place a piece of horse radish in the jar. This will also improve the taste of the pickles.
