Here be some gay times before us. Nex week, for example, there are set out in goon warm print no fewer than 10 balls of sorts. At the lop of the list in attractiveness and splendour is, of course, the Jockey Club’s bail, always the great event of the year in Wellington’s proud City Hall. It is the swing and full tide of the season. At the Girls’ College they have started a reading class, which has brightened the days of the young people wonderfully, but has also improved their reading, and raised their literary instinct. The other day Miss Har-dirige-Maltby attended, and gave them a great Shakespearean treat —the Letter Scene from- “ Two Gentlemen of Verona,” Henry V’s condemnation of the rebels, Buckingham’s farewell, and the glorious, dainty epilogue of "As You Like It.” It was good for the girls, and the girls took it with all the pleasure in life. This is the sort of thing one likes to see and hopes to hear more of.

The Plunket Society’s dance in connection with the meeting of representatives of the various branches came off last night in the Oriental Tea Kiosk. That fine suite of rooms, with its great ballroom, was decorated in floral and verdure adornment, with flags here and there, completing a charming " ensemble.” Packed the place was, of course, for the society is as popular among us as the art of dancing itself, and the medley of costumes was one to remember well and long—" very chic and very Parisien,” as is said often in these parts, and with much variety. Good music and a dainty supper served with some elegance helped the people to enjoy hemselves. Rose was the prevailing colour of the decoration, and the costumes all harmonised as if expressly designed. It was really a most wonderful coincidence, Mrs Massey, in black, helped the committee to receive. Mrs H. D. Bell wore lace over net and turquoise embroideries; Mrs F. M. B.

Some of the pictures most admired may remain here, for there is a movement on foot to get up a fund for the purpose.

The visiting members appreciate the thoughtfulness of the Bishop’s daughter very much indeed.

Mrs Fisher, in satin and lace, was present as chaperone, Mrs Armstrong received in pale pink lisse, and there was a goodly company in dress most attractive. (> Mere important than the ball was the “ At home ” to the babies and their mothers bv tha Piunket Association on Tuesday afternoon in the Council Chamber. It was the finest ot all possible baby shows, for the children wore the visible’ results, in their charming health and chubbiness, of the practical working of the Piunket precepts and system which is doing so much for the infant life of the Dominion—in fact, the show w . a s ■ the hast of all possible justifications of the existence of the association.

Wednesday afternoon was ene of the worst we have had this year—it- was wet, dark, and cold. The visitors, however, soon forgot all about the weather when once ins'de the warm and well-lit drawing room The time was spent pleasantly listening to music.
