SOCIAL AND PERSONAL. Mrs Jack McKenzie, who has been staying with her mother, Mu® J. A. Millar, has returned to Hamilton. Mi's Gore, who has been a guest of Mrs George Tripe, has returned to Napier. Mr and Mrs Brownrigg left last night for Christchurch, where they intend to reside. Mrs Will Lawson is visiting Christchurch. Mir W.

Attention ie drawn to the advertisement in this morning’s “Times” notifying the sale of tickets for the dance wiiich is being held on Wednesday, June '22nd, in the Town Hall, in aid of visiting domestic helpers’ fund, under tho management of the Mothers’ Help Division of the W.N.R. We feel sure tho public will generally support this fund, which means so much to many mothers of young families who are unable to obtain any other help in their homes. Tickets may be obtained at the W.N.R. room, first floor in the Union Bank buildings, Feathereton street, where members of the committee will be in at* tendance from next Mon da 3’ morning until tho dav - of the dance. A quarterly meeting of the Navy Leap ue will be held on Tuesday next, in tno Town Hall, at 8 p.m. The entertainment will consist of music, supper, and dancing, and will be presided over by Mr J. 'P. Firth, president of the Nav3' League. Last year the hall was all too small for the numbers who attended, and, therefore, Navy League members and their friends are advised to obtain tickets as soon as possible by writing to Box 972, or by calling at the Navy League office, Vickers House, Woodward street. Tickets may be obtained at the door on Tuesday' night. v Mr. and Mrs J. 0. Duff, of Petone, were the guests of honour at a farewell “social” at St. David's Church, Petone, on Wednesday evening last, as they intend shortl3’ to reside at the Upper Hutt. The J. A. McKenzie presented Mr Duff with a set of books handsomely bound, and made eulogistic reference to Mr Duff’s long association with every department of church work, he having been superintendent of the Sunday .School for a long .period. Mrs Duff was the recipient of a salad bowl and servicer A short musical programme followed, and the gathering concluded with the singing of “Auld Lang Syne.’’ The invitations for the annual ball of the City Corporation staff are being issued, and there seems every reason to believe that the ball is going- to eclipse all previous functions, judging by the I interest already displayed. The func- ■ tion, which is in the main Town Hall, follows oir after the race hall, and an energetic committee is leaving no stone unturned to cater for a highly success- j ful evening. The decorations and fur- : nishing are to be on the elaborate scale, as formerly, which have always created this big hall into a wonderland of beauty and beautiful effects which Messrs* ScoUllar’s and Mr Waugh know how to produce so thoroughly. The music—Cowley’s well-known orchestra —has been engaged, and Mrs Oscar Johnston has the important part of. the catering, so those favoured by in- j yitations are assured that everything is being done to make this ball the one ; of the season, and a credit to the Em- j pire City. r
