GIFT EVENING AT MANGAWEKA

Millner in a few well-chosen words wished the young couple every happiness and asked tiyem to accept a handsome brass firescreen with curb to match, also a brass wood box. Mr. Sherlock, president of the Tennis Club, also spoke of the sterling qualities of Miss Oulsnam in the Tennis Club as ladies’ captain and asked her to accept the good wishes of the members together with a small token of their esteem—a water, set. Mr. Neville Gower replied on behalf of Miss Oulsnam. Everyone joined in the singing ‘For They Are Jolly Good Fellows” and dancing was continued.
