ST. HILDA'S COLLEGIATE SCHOOL

ATTRACTIVE SALE OF WORK Always the annual bazaar of St, Hilda’s Collegiate School has. been a very attractive affair, and this year’s effort is no exception to the rule. When the sale was opened this afternoon by Mrs Richards the drill hall ■ presented a pretty spectacle with its colourful decorations, and it was the subject of much favourable comment on the part of the many visitors. Apart from the make-up ot the stalls allotted to different sections of the school, the house colours have been

effectively introduced into the scheme of decoration, with the result that the stands are very complete. Lawrence House’s produce stall has been lent a Chinese atmosphere, the stall representing a typically Eastern trading counter waited upon hy Chinese maidens. In charge of this stall are Misses Coulston, Hiff, I. Macdonald, Joan Nevill, and Erna Porter. A trellis work with the house’s colours.

(blue and gold) is the decoration ot the work stall (Nelson House), which is being looked after by Misses Peake, Monle, Armstrong, Leila Rice, and Margaret Lusk. Many beautiful spring, blooms from the North Island are to be found on Wellington House’s flower stand, at which Misses Macdonald, Betty Tait, and Marjory Humford are stationed. Novelty is the feature of Havelock House’s sweets stall, in the hands of Misses Glasgow, Paterson, Helen Cox, and Stella Fitchett, This stall has been decorated -with

owls, filled with sweets, hanging front tree branches.
