A bright feature of the Jubilee celebrations in Timaru was the dance held by the staff of Woolworths (N.Z.), Ltd., at the Bay Tea Rooms on Monday night. The committee responsible for the arrangements comprised Misses Story, Purton, Miliary, Drumm, Matthews and Mr H. H. Mills.

An engagement of interest to New Zealanders, announced in the "Morning Post,” is of Gordon St. George, son of Mr and Mrs H. S. Naylor, Cliff House, Milford-on-Sea, and Margaret Noelle Moorhouse, daughter of the late Captain R. Sefton Adams, R.A., and Mrs Adams, St. Clements, Romsey, Hampshire, and great-granddaughter of the late W. Sefton Moorhouse, of New Zealand. A matter of much interest to a number of guests at Government House recently, was the viewing of many good pictures and miniatures brought out from Home by Lord and Lady Galway. There were some charming sketches of the children daintily etched in with touches of colour. Then some old portraits of naval and military ancestors, the rich colouring of these, though of great age, commanding much admiration. In the dining-room were studies of horses, probably well-known and great favourites of former members of the family. The miniatures needed an evening’s study by themselves, so dainty and beautifully tinted were they. They will probably bring great pleasure to a number of guests at Government Hoilse during their Excellencies’ sojourn here.
