CHINESE RELIEF

(From "The Post's" Representative.) NELSON, July 13.

A most exhibition of handicraft held last week was organised by the Townswomen's Guild in aid of the Chinese Relief Fund. Mrs. H. Atmore opened the display, and was most eulogistic in her praise of the work on view. There was handcraft from many countries, and a great deal of very beautiful work made locally. A small chai-ge was made, and the members provided afternoon tea. In every way the display was a success, and the cause for which it was made a very worthy one.

Successful Plunket Effort;

A most successful "White Elephant" stall was held for three days last week in aid of the Plunket Society's funds. The committee is always trying to think of new ways of augmenting the yearly income, and the stall last week proved that the result was well worth the effort.
