SALADS ON THE MENU.

The change in the weather has affected the daily menu at the A.N.A. Club, and cold meats and salads have been substituted for some of the hot

dishes which were so popular throughout the winter. The A.N.A. reports a busy weekend. Yesterday the club was particularly full in the late afternoon and at night the Ngaio "Accordiana Rhythmics," who volunteered their services, were an outstanding success. Tlie executive warmly acknowledges the gift of a hamper of foodstuffs from A.N.A. Club helpers at Marton, per Mrs. S. Simpson. The club's comforts committee is arranging a shop day in Lambton Quay shortly and an appeal is made for the public's generous support. Funds raised will provide a Christmas party for the men still in camp at that time. CINDERELLA CLUB.
