HUKARERE NOTES.

(Our Own Correspondent.) Since vvritiag my last notes there is not much of a change about this loca_ nty, although the weather has, if any thing, got a little bit- more towards sunnier, as the gardens just begin to look as if they are deriving the benefit of a few warm days. A pleasant function took place last Saturday in the form of a Christmas I'ree for the little folk, which was organised by Alr.s L- Harris, who must be given great credit fo r the manner in which she had everything arranged, as the children were all satisfied by the time they departed for home. There followed a dance in the evening for the lovers of the light fantastic there being a good number present, the mu,si c for which was supplied by Mr. F. Bassano, and Mr. G. Wilson ably officiated in the capacity of M.C. .Among the ladies present we r e the following.—Miss Hardy, lemon crepe de chine; AIr s Flynn, vieux voile; Mrs T.
