FITZHERBERT, April 11. Last Wednesday week Mrs and Miss Pinfold entertained the young ladies of Aokautere and their mothers and friends at an afternoon tea given in honour of Miss J. Cogswell who was recently married. Afternoon tea was served on the lawn and a pleasant time was spent, there being several musical items to enliven the proceedings. During an interval Miss Pinfold asked Miss Cogswell to accept a brass fruit bowl and a vase from the young ladies of the district, and in a few well chosen words extended a hearty welcome to Miss Cogswell and wished her all happiness and prosperity in her future life in Aokautere. Miss Cogswell thanked the donors for their beautiful gift and for the kind thoughts that had prompted Mrs and Miss Pinfold to invite her thero to meet the young ladies and others amongst whom she was to make her future home.
