Before the programme commenced a motion of sympathy was passed with two members who had suffered bereavements since the previous meeting, members standing in respectful silence for a few minutes.

Mrs. Faulds gave an interesting report of the recent Dominion conference of Townswomen’s Guilds in Wellington, which she had attended as a delegate from Gisborne. She spoke in eulogistic terms of the wonderful organising ability shown by the women representing the Townswomen’s Guilds in conducting the conference, the methods and businesslike nature of the proceedings having aroused in her the greatest admiration for the women concerned.

The president stressed the necessity for members to do their best, to study the routine of the meeting, and to keep the guild up to a high standard. The large room had been beautifully decorated with spring flowers and blossom by the gardening section, whose members were responsible for the afternoon’s entertainment.

The enjoyable programme commenced with a vocal chorus “Spring,” by the musical section, followed by vocal solos as follow: "Garden of Happiness,” by Mrs. Sid Dennis; “My Garden,” by Mrs. Phil Barry; “Garden of Roses," by Mrs. Darling. Mrs. LI. Meredith recited “Glory of the Garden,” a poem by Rudyard Kipling.

The gathering numbered approximately 15U, with a good proportion oi children, and few, if any, failed to respond to the engaging appeal of the song leader throughout a spirited series of well known numbers which made the period the most popular in the evening’s enjoyable programme.

Women’s Division’s Garden Party The October meeiing of the W.D.F.U took the form of a garden party held last Friday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. C. Blackburn, Domett street, who had kindly put her pretty garden at the disposal of members for the occasion. Prior to the social event a short business meeting was held in the drawing-room, which was gay with tulips and blooms from flowering shrubs arranged effectively in bowls and vases. The meeting was presided over by Mrs. G. W. Humphreys, vicepresident, in the absence of the president, Mrs. E. R. Black. A vote of sympathy was passed with Mrs. J. R. Read in the loss of her father, members observing two minutes’ silence in respectful sympathy. Two letters were read by the secretary, Mrs. A. L. Morrison, one stating that Mrs. Drake, Dominion president would be unable to visit Gisborne in November owing to pressure of business. In regard to this the meeting decided to write asking Mrs. Drake to come to Gisborne in February next ii possible, and Mrs. C. Blackburn offered her home for another garden-party at that time in order that the Dominion

lit

president might be able to meet members out-of-doors.

A verv interesting talk on gardens, the treatment of soil, manuring and planting was given by Mrs. Blackburn, and much appreciated by the gardeners present.

At the conclusion of the address the business meeting closed and guests proceeded to the garden, which was bright with flowers and blossom. The beds of particularly beautiful tulips, in many varieties, some new and rare, a flowering cherry tree in full bloom, and the pretty rock garden and gay borders were much admired. A delicious tea was served in a sheltered corner of the garden, a haven from the strong westerly wind prevailing that day.

In a few suitable words Mrs. Humphreys thanked Mrs. Blackburn for her hospitality, saying that members were keenly appreciative of an entertainment out-of-doors. All present endorsed Mrs. Humphreys’ remarks by hearty acclamation, having spent a most enjoyable afternoon. There were present nearly 40 members and visitors. Ormond W.l. Card Evening The Ormond Women’s Institute held a very enjoyable live-hundred evening in the new room on Saturday night. There were 30 present and the games were keenly contested. This is the first of a series of five-hundred evenings, the next one to be held in a fortnight, the proceeds being in aid ot the Women’s Institute room funds.

The prize-winners were: —Ladies. — Mrs. W. Bowes and Miss Mavis Rogers. Gentlemen. —Mr. J. Jones and Mr. W. Bowes. Supper was presided over by Mesriames Greig, I. Jones and McMillan. Gisborne Repertory Society The Gisborne Repertory Society’s rooms in Turanganui Chambers were ailed last night for the society's presentation or three one-act plays. The seating accommodation was taxed to us utmosd. leaving standing room only for a number of patrons. The audience was most enthusiastic, their appreciation and applause being most encouraging to tire producers and performers, whose successful efforts til presenting such a delightful entertainment were certainly praiseworthy. The first play was “The Monkey's Paw," a tragedy by the celebrated writer, W. W. Jacobs. The scene was a room in a cottage shown at three times—night, the next morning and three weeks taler, and the plot centred round three wishes made by .hose possessing the monkey’s paw. Die various roles were carried out with capable dramatic conviction, the rehearsals having been directed by Miss Peggy Lange and Mr. Seddoa Mill, the former taking the part of Mrs. White, and the latter portraying Mr. White. The other parts wen; cast as follow:—Sergeant-Major Morris, Mr. G. Tiffen; Herbert, Mr. J. Keane; Mr. Sampson. Mr. A. M. Terry.

The next performance was ‘‘They’re None of Them Perfect,” a comedy played for the second time by special request, under the direction of Miss Ellen Millar. The stage was furnished as a drawing-room at the home of a biide-elcc'* entertaining her young married friends at collee after dinner. The floral decorations were effectively carried out with lilac in a green bowl in the background, a oowl of pink roses on a central table and a posy bowl on a brass-topped oriental table in the foreground. Each voung wife described the faults of ner husband with a view to dissuading her hostess from matrimony, the naive remarks bringing forth much laughter from the audience, who iceognised many familiar traits, but failing to influence the prospective bride as desired.

Wearing a black ring velvet gown relieved with a rose pink posy and iO.se satin shoes, Miss Jill Williams played the part of the bride-to-be, nor friends being portrayed by Miss Lois Miles, in rust silk faille ornamented with a jewelled art brooch; Miss Ruth Sinclair in white satin, with pale blue necklets ol' beads, and a blue floral head-dress to match; Miss Joan Thomas, wearing black velvet with a corsage cluster of red roses; Miss Philippa Murphy, in black velvet with red amber beads ana ear-rings to match; and Miss Shirley Ormerod in red and gold brocade. The final play was “Fire Below," a comedy drama with a tragic climax, requiring clever character acting and dramatic stage-craft, which the performers provided with professional ability. The story held the interest of the audience throughout, and though intensely emotional and tragic at the end, and. tending somewhat o,v its gruelling nature to encourage nightmarish dreams, it was enjoyed for tlic merit of the acting. Each part was excellently portrayed, the comedy lines causing laughter, and the tragic scenes creating an atmosphere of horror and sadness among the audience. Miss Ellen Millar, as Mrs. Pratt, and Miss Cora Oman, as Mrs. Ellis, produced the play, the other parts being taken as follows:—Miss M. Mortimer. the fat woman; Miss. L. Godfrey, the thin woman; Mr. G. TifTen, fireman and policeman; Mr. J. W. Fergie, the thin man.

The scene showed a room in a tenement house just after a fire had been extinguished on the floor below, flic tenants had congregated m this room belonging to Mrs. Pratt, who offered comfort and shelter to Mrs. Ellis, whose room had been gutted by the fire. Mrs. Ellis was unresponsive to the attention, other tenants gossiped, and as the story unfolded, in a whirl of comedy, entrances and exits of policeman and fireman, and tenants, the fact was revealed that Mr. Ellis' son had died of injuries from the fire. This news loosened the bereaved mothers’ tongue, and she confessed that her son had murdered the beloved daughter of her benefactor, Mrs. Pratt, the fire having been caused by her attempts to clean his blood-stained coat with petrol. She greeted the news of his death with loy. as it freed him from the police and punishment.

Dance and Demonstration Miss Mildred Hamilton, M.N.A.T.D., and her pupils gave a delightfuldemonstration of ballroom and tap dancing in the City Hall on Saturdayevening, and at the conclusion of the' programme entertained the audience at a most enjoyable dance, the occasion being the wind-up of Miss Hamilton’s dancing classes for the present year. The hall was filled, the attendance being even larger than on former occasions when Miss Hamilton’s breaking-up dances have always attracted a record number of spectators and dancers. The music for the demonstration numbers and the dance to follow was provided by Mrs. W. Thomson’s orchestra. The musicians were seated on the stage, which was beautifully decorated in front with large bowls and jars of peach blossom, weepingelm foliage, and prostranthera (Australian mint), the colours of these dainty blooms, pink, light green and lilac, matching and blending with the tones of the scenic background, and making a charming setting for the pastel tinted evening frocks worn by tiie senior girl pupils, who, when not dancing, were seated in the hull immediately below the stage, the combined shades of flowers and frocks giving a charming kaleidoscopic rainbow effect that was much admired by observers from other parts of the hall. The stage decorations had been arranged by Mesdames L. Balfour and G. W. Willock. Greenery, weeping elm, lilac and Iceland poppies were effectively used for the adornment of the lounge. Miss Hamilton was indebted to u number of her friends for their valuable assistance and support, and in expressing her deep gratitude for and appreciation of their services she said that the dance could not have been organised or carried out without their help. Among these helpers, most of whom worked in the supper-room, were Mrs. L. Balfour, Miss W. Lysnar, Mesdames P. Hamilton, G. W. Willock, H. B. Drummond, L. H. Perry and L. Jex-Blake; Misses R. Wauchop, G. Austin, E. Hitchcock, D. and E. Hamilton, K. Instone, J. Perry, and A. Gillingham; Messrs. J. deV. W. Blathwayt, who acted as door-keeper, V. Field, J. Wilkie, R. Coleman and S. Corson.

Mrs. H. P. Hamilton welcomed her daughter’s guests wearing a becoming frock and coatee of black lace and georgette, with a corsage spray of real flowers in cherry-red tonings. A charming black ball dress embroidered in a floral design with silver beads, designed with a fichu bodice bordered with bands of silver lame, and a long graceful skirt with a wide bouffant flounce from the knees to the ground trimmed with similar bands of silver lame, was worn by Miss Hamilton. A pretty posy of deep pink and cherry flowers ornamented the bodice at the front and back of the V-necklinc. The programme commenced with,an exhibition of exercises and steps by junior pupils, the little girls wearing pretty short party frocks in pastel coloured silks, organdie and net, and small boys looking neat and spruce in trim suits. There followed a similar display by the senior pupils, these taller girls wearing long frocks in dainty plain and floral materials. Next on the programme was a charming tap dance by two tiny tots, little

Valetta Pasley and John Costello, the former in a pretty white pierette costume, the satin bodice being finished with a big black ruffle at the neck, and the very full ballet skirt of book muslin being decked with black pompoms. The latter wore a white pierrot suit with a similar black net ruffle and black pom-poms, each child wearing a black head-dress to match and a large black ruffle on each wrist, their appearance being most effective and their dancing bringing forth hearty applause.

The senior pupils then demonstrated the waltz, led by Stella Hamilton and Gordon Harris, Joyce Barwick and Geoffrey Slight, Joy Wauchop and Robin Kells, Dawn Hansen and Noel Pettit, Shirley GrifTen and Robert Scott, Rhonda Krebs and Peter Hamilton, Olive Long and Reid .-orley, the other pupils joining In after the above had given the initial exhibition.

Wearing a dainty pale blue sheer ankle-length evening frock and silver sandal shoes, Miss Thelma Sim gave a clever tap dance, after which a demonstration of the “Crush” was given by Arabelle Friar and Geoffrey Slight, Joy Wauchop and Robert Scott, Joyce Mulligan and Robin Kells, Dawn Hansen and Noel Pettit.

A popular item was a quickstep by Miss Isabel Sharpies, wearing a pretty floral taffeta frock in pale primrose printed in rose tunings, with Mr. Eric Bell as partner, and Miss Hazel Meredith, becomingnly frocked in daffodil yellow satin, with Mr. John Pyatt. The preliminary exhibitionists in a military two-step by the junior pupils were six tiny-tots, Janice Richardson and Digby Smith, Lesley Albrecht and Jim Mclldowie, Valetta Pasley and Noel Blackburn, whose evident enjoyment of the dance marked it as a favourite, their little feet keeping excellent time and executing the steps with precision. Misses Helen McGregor, Isabel Sharpies, Neva Morrison and Shirley Hamilton, and Messrs. I. Niven, E. Bell, R. Trafford and J. Langridge gave a graceful demonstration of the Viennese waltz, after which a jolly tap dance was cleverly done by Moira Jolly and Arthur Thompson, both dressed as darkies, the former in a short pink checked frock with red neck bow and belt, the skirt revealing the frills of old-fashioned white knickers, and the latter in long trousers, a white blouse and emerald green bolero with a 'red sash and bow, a black skull cap giving the effect of black hair being surmounted by a tiny novelty hat.

A quickstep brought the juniors on to the floor again, the leaders being Mary Mclldowie and Douglas McGregor, Dawn Richardson and John Primrose, Elaine Hansen and Leslie Hamilton, who demonstrated the dance before the remainder of the class joined in. The same class then danced the Tasmanian waltz. The next item was a clever and attractive tap dance by Miss Hamilton, in her black and silver dress and Miss Thelma Sim in white satin slacks, and a scarlet satin Hungarian blouse, the dancers being extremely light on their feet and the dance being a variation from the usual “tap” with its graceful arm and body movements.

Miss Ailsa Slight, wearing an attractive ball dress of wine-coloured moire trimmed with silver and a head dress of silver flowers, and Mr. lan Niven gave a pleasing exhibition of the waltz, the junions afterwards demonstrating the same dance. The most popular item of the evening followed, this being a demonstration of the charming “Merry Widow” waltz by Miss Mildred Hamilton and Mr. lan Niven, danced beautifully with lissom grace and lightness. A quickstep by the seniors brought the demonstration to a close, after which two tiny tots, Valetta Pasley in a pretty white and pink sprigged rock of organdie and lace, and Digby Smith presented Miss Hamilton with charming floral posies, on behalf of the pupils. Prior to the “Merry Widow” waltz, Mr. Blathwayt apologised for the absence of Mr. Matt Stratton, of the Stratton School of Dancing, who had been in Gisborne for the greater part of the week practising with Miss

Hamilton for this demonstration, explaining that the news of his father s death had necessitated his hasty return to Auckland the previous day. The speaker said that Mr. lan Niven had volunteered to dance with Miss Hamilton, and though there had been very little time for practice it was decided to present the item.

The demonstration was given on the main floor of the hall, the spectators being seated round the sides.

A delicious home-made supper was served upstairs, the tables looking particularly attractive with crystal bowls of Iceland poppies and heuchera and white broom, the flowers having been artistically arranged by Mrs. H. H. Smith and Miss M. Puflett.

Dancing was thoroughly enjoyed until midnight, the younger children, and the older spectators having departed after supper. Miss Hamilton was heartily congratulated on the success of the display, and the high standard of dancing achieved by her pupils. Miss Ailsa Slight assisted Miss Hamilton in organising and supervising the display. In addition to the helpers mentioned above some of those present were Mr. and Mrs. H. P.
