GIRL GUIDE CONCERT

SUCCESSFUL SOCIAL EVENING. SPLENDID PROGRAMME GIVEN. Success marked the New Plymouth Girl Guide concert on Saturday night and the Y.W.C.A. hall was packed to its utmost capacity. Patrons were treated to an excellent programme and as the result of this effort, the funds of the Mananui company of Girl Guides will benefit substantially. The stage was decorated with ironds of native fern, while the banners of the Guides and Citizens made a brave array as they hung from the walls. Judiciously arranged lights which were diffused by the deep tangerine stage curtain, effectively set off the stage and the artists. Much of the success was due to Mrs. R. J. Deare and Miss Grace who superintended the rehearsals. Miss E. Deacon assisted in the organisation and Mrs. H. H.
