It was a very happy thought that prompted the committee of the Music Circle of the Southland Women’s Club to open their season with an informal evening of plans and music. Last night the big fires in the reception room cast a cheerful warmth and glow over a large gathering of members who sat round fires and tables and listened to a programme taken from the music of the Highlands and Islands, repeated from last year after numerous requests. In a preliminary talk, Mrs Stanley Brown, chairwoman of the circle, welcomed new members, and stated the object of beginning the season with an informal evening—that members should have this opportunity of getting to know one another, and to proffer ideas on the lines these evenings should take. “Remember, a circle is round,” she said. “Performers and audience should be one in one large circle. A number of people gathered together in the name of music.” Before her dissertation on Hebridean music, Mrs Brown referred to the great loss the Circle would sustain in the departure of Mrs- L. B. Rowe, who leaves shortly to take up residence in Nelson. The following was the programme:—“A Fairy’s Love Song”—Mrs H. R. Kingsland, solo—Miss W. Thom, “Eriskay Love Lilt”—Mrs A. T. McCaw, “Skye Boat Song” and “Ro Ho Ma Nut Brown Maiden” (Mesdames A. T. McCaw, H. R. Kingsland, Stanley Brown and Alex Derbie), “My Heart is Sair” —Mrs J. D. Campbell, Piano Duet—Misses _L. Cooper and M. O’Byrne, “Leezie Lindsay”—Miss E. Mehaffey, “To People who have Gardens” and “Ossian’s Day Dream” (Party). Mrs A. E. H. Bath was the accompanist.

Mr and Mrs F. C. Barham entertained a number of friends at the Mary Elizabeth on Monday evening at a coming-of-age party in honour of their son, Cecil. Games and competitions were played and items were given by the Rev. C. H. Olds and Mr R. Pearce. During the supper the two-tiered birthday cake was cut by the guest of honour. It was beautifully decorated, having a large kewpie on the top which Was connected by pink and white ribbons to each of the twenty smaller kewpies arranged round the cake. The chairman, the Rev. C. H. Olds, presented the guest of honour with a gold key. Mr Barham also presented him with a watch on behalf of himself and Mrs Barham. Mr Cecil Barham gratefully acknowledged the gift and presented a bouquet of chrysanthemums to his mother. Mr Russell Rice proposed the toast of the parents and Mr F. C. Barham replied.
