LATE SOCIAL NEWS.

The monthly meeting of St Cuthbert Guild’ was held at the vicarage oil Thursday. There was a good attendance of members, and all are looking forward for a successful sale of work, and social evening to be held in the Allandale Hall on August 30. A vote of thanks was passed to Mrs Cowlin and Mrs Maurice for the extra cushions and kneelers they had made for the church. Members expressed their sympathy with Mrs Wilkinson in her continued illness, and wished her a speedy recovery to health. Afternoon tea was served at the conclusion of the meeting.

STREET COLLECTION HELD FOR CANCER CAMPAIGN.

Little white badges bearing scarlet letters appeared everywhere in the city this morning. This was the emblem chosen by the women’s committee for the Cancer Campaign when they held their street collection to-day. An enthusiastic committee, of whom the Mayoress, Mrs J. K. Archer, is the chairwoman, have been working hard for several weeks past in an endeavour to raise a large sum for this fund. Through their untiring efforts it is expected that there will be a warm-hearted response to the collectors’ appeal to-day. A large number of badges had been sold by midday. To further augment the fund, a marquee and stalls were erected in Victoria Square for the purpose of selling cakes, fruit and produce. Those in charge of the stalls were Mesdames H. Wales, P. S. Foster, E. C. Hayes, J. W. Crawshaw and E. J. Cooke. Children from the Ilarewood School, under the leadership of the headmaster, Mr Newlands, had also contributed to these stalls. The headquarters for the day were the City Council Chambers, where the following helpers were in charge: Mesdames J. K. Archer, J. K. Macdonald, Langran, Edginton, Ferguson, Blake, Tomlinson, J. S. Neville (treasurer), J. Spence Clark (secretary), Misses' Aitken, and E. A. De Veaux. As the collectors returned with their •boxes they were served with refreshments. The undermentioned collectors were stationed in the city and the .suburbs: —St John Ambulance, Salvation Army, Nurses’ Club, Mothers* Union, "Y.W.C.A., Mesdames P. R. Climie, FI. A.
