LADIES’ GUILD GARDEN PARTY. SPORTS AND GENERAL ITEMS; (From Our Own Correspondent.) The garden party held by the Warea Ladies’ Guild at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. F. Sole sen. proved a great success. Although the weather was overcast a large number of people attended. The gardens were much admired and the stalls, which had been arranged on the verandahs, did a brisk trade. Afternoon tea was served in the diningroom and sitting-room. An orchestra played selections and other items were songs by Mrs. W. Hopkins (Rahotu) and a pianoforte solo by Mr. E. Davies. The ladies who helped at the various stalls and with afternoon tea were Mrs. F. Sole, Mrs. B. Anderson, Mrs. D. Wells, Mrs. C. Sole, Mrs. J. Goodin, Mrs. W. Caldwell, Mrs. J. Sole and Miss Corbett, Misses R. Goodin, M. Sole, J. Anderson, R. and N. Wells and J. Lewis.

Doyle; cake' knives, donated by Mr. J. Lobb, Mr. J. Goodin; duchess set donated by Mr. E. Davis, Mrs. F. Sole sen.; cake donated by Miss Corbett, Mrs. D. Wells.
