WAIKUKU GIRLS’ CLUB.

Religious and charitable work will benefit to the extent of £2l 10s as a result of a sale of work and entertainment organised by the Waikuku Girls’ Club. The gross proceeds show an increase of £lO on last year's effort, a result gratifying to the seventeen girls whose work made it possible. The scene of the function was the public hall, which was decorated for the occasion.

Nelson and C. Morriss, and Miss B. Chinnery; bran tub. Misses B. Smith and I. Rudd. At the evening session an interesting entertainment was given by the same workers, assisted by Misses P.
