Tfti© season of ttio Oataret Club vnli open next month, and it is anticipated that the club will have a most successful year. Mir -Clinton-Hunt has issued imitations to a causerie concert on March 27th, which should prove a very interesting entertainment. The wedding took place on February 22nd, at St. Peter’s Church, .Wellington, of Lily, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs F. Hill, and Frederick Charles, eldest son of Mr and Mrs Frederick lie Chen, of Timaru. The marriage * took place at Kopuaranga on Wednesday of Miss Maud Hibbard, third daughter of 1 Mr W. Hibbard, of Kopuaranga, and Mr Handley Avery, third son of Mr T. Avery, of Palmerston North. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. G. T. hlackay, of Lansdowne. A pretty wedding was celebrated at Knox Church. Masterton, by the Greytown missioner, when Miss Hardings, of Greytown, was married to Mr J. C. McLean, A The engagement is announced by an exchange of Miss Hazel Manchester, elder daughter of Mr and Mrs G. A. Manchester, Waimate, to Mr F. W. Bean, of Kaikohe, North Auckland, eldest son of Mr and Mrs P. E. Bean, Riccarton road, Christchurch. The winter programme of the Y.W.C.A., is now being arranged, and by way of a start classes in millinery and dressmaking are to begin almost at once —the former on March 20th, and the latter on the 28th. A Jumper Club is also being formed, as so many girls are eager to knit their own jumpers, but need some help over the more intricate parts. These classes are not intended to take the place of the technical school, by giving the complete grounding that would be necessary to the girl seeking to make a living by such work, but 6imply to teach girls who have recently left school to make and Tenovate their own clothes, and incidentally to provide wholesome and useful occupation for such of them as find time hang heavily on their hands, after having been accustomed to school life, with its full routine of ordered work and play. Mrs Jolly has already met some overseas girls at the first gathering of the season of their special <sub at the Y.W.C.A. This club aims at gathering together girls from overseas, and helping them to feel at home in. a new country. Miss Lynch, M.A., of the Girls’ College, is to be the speaker at the short Sunday service at the Y.W.C.A., in Herbert street, tomorrow. Her subject will be “The House with the Golden Windows/'’ Amongst the Australians who are enjoying the beauty of New Zealand's thermal region is Mrs Sealey, of Barcaldine Downs, Queensland. Mrs Sealey is accompanied by her son and daughter, says a Sydney exchange. There is nothing better for cleaning plats J:han a cork dipped into moistened plate powder. With a little sand they will remove marks on aluminium ware, and egg-stains on spoons will disappear as if, by magic when a little salt is rubbed ep them with a oork. Even marks on light or brown shoes may he treated by rubbing them with/a cork which has first been rubbed on the inside of a banana skin. The popular method of knife-cleaning with the usual palish applied on a cork has much to commend it, and a soft dry oork is very good for cleaning spots on paint or wallpaper, as well as on polished wood. Immediately on the conclusion of the marriage ceremony betweon Mr T. Y: Seddon, M.P. and Miss Beatric Wood, the bells of St. Maiy'B, Addington, which are a memorial Vo xlie late Hon R. J.

FREE KINDERGARTENS. STREET SALS AND COLLECTION: On Friday next an effort will be made by means of a street sale and collection to raise money for the Wellington Free Kindergartens. There are now seven kindergartens in Wellington, a new one bavin# been opened this year in the Mission. Hall, Taranaki street, which has been lent by Canon Fielden Taylor for the it having been found that the kindergarten already working in Taranaki street could not by any means supply all the needs of the district. The work done by these kindergartens is beyond praise, the tiny children from poor districts are cared for and taught. the rudiments of good citizenship in the community spirit which is the aim of the kindergarten method. In order to keep them going a good deal of money is requited, and the council" is often, hard pushed to find sufficient means. It is hoped therefore that the public will rally round and, make next Friday's oppeal a record one. The committee are working verv hard and would be grateful for gifts of Rowers, produce and any saleable goods which can be left ,nt Harcouri's auction rooms the day before. BOYS* INSTITUTE. .LADLES' AUXILIARY. The report of the Ladies' Auxiliary ol the Boys' Institute for the past year states: — The home has been full throughout the year, and it is pleasing to know that the boys have a very great affection for the lady in charge of them, and that their conduct ha« been Quite satisfactory. The high cost of living has again beerf one of the principal causes of- a deficit in the working of the boarding establishment, although efforts have consistently been made to keep the expenditure down, but this is only to be expected, seeing that the boys are boarded at a small fee of from 10s upwards. Several wellwishers made donations in cash and kind during the year, and their tliougntfulness is greatly appreciated, especially that of M.rs T. To. Cress well, who, during the Ohmtvpas vacation of the Wellington College, arranged, for a supply of fresh milk daily. . On February 18th, St. Andrew's Brightlights Entertainers gave a concert in aid of'the funds of the Ladies' Auxiliary, and the result of this and the sale of sweets was a handsome addition to the funds. Our best thank® are.due to the ladies who arranged and 1 carried out the entertainment and sale. During the year the Ladies'. Auxiliary conducted two jumble sales in order to raise money for the “Sports" activities of the Institute, with splendid results* and they also provided sufficient material to supply the boys not in possession 1 of them with cricketing ‘pants. The Ladies' Auxiliary assisted to entertain the South African footballers at the Springbok swimming: carnival on September 14th, at which were also present His Excellency the GovernorGeneral andjLacly Jellicoe. As the outcome of th# result of the international football match, South Africa versus New Zealand, Messrs S. S. Williams, Limited, presented the institute with Wo handsome bedroom suites representing the oolours of the two teams. These were placed in a room specially set apart for use as a eick-room, and are great appreciated and admired. The attendance of ladies at the meetings of the Auxiliary has again been most satisfactory, and this has enabled' the work to' be carried on smoothly. During the year Meed antes Carr and Mouatt and Miss Ruby Sidey resigned from the committee, but they retained! their membership of the auxiliary. WEDDING FROCKS.
