The Red Cross Depot Committee has still some new tea towels and table cloths for sale. Those ladies who had the use of the rosettes at the Show will greatiy nssist by returning them at 'ohe earliest possible convenience. They were kindly lent for the occasion, and it is necessary that the full number be returned at once.

The doll presented by Mrs G. Caiman, and run in connection'with her kiosk at the Show, was named "Adelaide,' but as no one guessed it, Mrs Caiman will have a new competition at ah early date.

Mrs I). Craig wishes to acknowledge several splendid donations to her Christmas tree at the Show. The N.Z. gues; Wanganui Sash and Door Company, 12 potato mashers, 12 roiling pins, 12 paste boards, 24 washing boards; Messrs Bassett and Co, a large number of doll's cradles. Mr Hatherly and his Scouts were of particular help to the ladies in charge of the Christr&as tree; they not only worked during the day time, but carefully guarded the tent during t)he nights. Any persons who have any spare jam jars wouid greatly assist the young girls in thj Red Cross Shop if they would send the jars down. There have been otters of jam from two ladies, who have no jars, so that it will help a great deal if some could be obtained.

There- is a very handsome cake it present at the depot, for weight-guess-ing, made and donated by Miss Trevethick, of Messrs .Paul and Co. The cake is to bs the property of the person who guesses the correct weight, or the nearest io it. Already there is a big demand for chances, and it is hoped a good sum will result.
