CARD AFTERNOON

FUNCTION AT DEVONPORT One of the largest and most successful card afternoons yet held on the North Shore was that organised »by Mrs. J. W. Lowe and held at the Devonport parish hall yesterday. The proceeds, which amounted to £l9 10s, are in aid of the Ladies' Guild of the Holy Trinity Church. Assisting Mrs. Lowe as hostesses were the president of the Ladies' Guild, Mrs. C. H. Wheeler, Mrs. F. Wilson and Mrs. Horace Scott. The hall was draped with flags and the stage was transformed into a drawing room for those who did not care to play cards. Bowls of daffodils, shrubs and pot plants wore used with pleasing effect.

A bouquet of pink and mauve flowers was presented to Mrs. Wheeler, and in doing so, Mrs. Lowe asked those present for their co-operation and loyal support in the future. In the absence of the Rev. H.
