Members of the Forces spent a happy time during the weelc-end at the A.N.A. Club’s dances, a featuro of which was the oright music supplied by a professional dance band. Mr. A.

F. Heroert, and Miss V. M onda ttU<i Sergeant T. H. Vautier won the lucky spot. The soft drinks were served by Misses W. Whyte and B. Warren, while Misses Davis and V. Royal took charge of the games.

The music circle provided Its usual bright entertainment, and the hostesses were Mesdames J. Garnham, L. Wood, Misses I. Wallace and E. Brown. Mrs. Knox Gilmour Makes History Mrs. Knox Gilmer lias received innumerable congratulations in the form of telegrams, telephone calls, etc., from all the Dominion regarding her re-election to both the Wellington City Council and the Hospital Board. It is the first time in New Zealand history that a woman has achieved the distinction of topping the poll for both the bodies. In an interview, Mrs. Gilmer said it should act as an incentive to other women to continue to study local body affairs and to take an active interest in civic matters. She felt her re-election a great honour, which she would do all in her power to justify. Pass It On A practical suggestion put forward by Mrs. W. S. Woodroofe, president of the Palmerston North Townswomen’s Guild, yesterday, was uhat all the women’s organisations in the city should send representation to farewell functions held in the Opera House for servicemen going on active service. She pointed out that these functions were often not well attended which was a poor compliment to the men, also to the Mayor and others concerned. Mrs. J. Barsanti, president of the Palmerston North branch of the League of Mothers, endorsed these remarks and the meeting gave unanimous approval for this suggestion to be passed on.
