Woman's World

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL

Mrs Teviotdale, Wellington, is visiting relatives in Wanganui. Mrs J. G. Whetton, who has been visiting her mother, Mrs A. E. Halligan, Ingestre Street, has returned to Ohakune.

Major-General and Mrs. H. K. Kippenberger, who came to Wanganui for the annual ball of the R.S.A. held last night, were met on arrival at Foster's Hotel by the president of the R.S.A. (Mr Harvey Gilberd) and Mrs. Gilberd, Mr. G. M. Wadey, vice-presi-dent. and Mrs. Wadey, president of the women’s section of the R.S.A., all of whom dined with the visitors. Flowers for her room were received by Mrs. Kippenberger, a gift from the women’s section of the R.S.A., and a shoulder spray from the ball committee. In the British women s golf championships at Lytham and St. Anne's, the two finalists, Miss Jean Donald, the Scottish title-holder, and the diminutive Miss Louise Suggs, who is the American champion, were scarcely able to keep their feet in a gale which blew some of the spectators off their feet. Miss Suggs won 1 up at the 36th hole, where Miss Donald threeputted from four yards. Two women constables at Auckland will shortly marry two members of the Police Force. They are Constable M. Maicon, who is to marry Sergeant C. Snow, of the Newmarket station, and Constable N. M. Parker, who will be married to Constable D. Crawford, of the Queen's Wharf station. Miss Maicon was one of the first of the women police to be stationed in Auck'and, and she has been at the central station for the last five and a-half years. Miss Parker has been stationed there for the last four and a-half years. Miss Maicon is leaving the force, but Miss Parker will remain a member after her marriage. The weddings will take place this month. Moura Lympany, who is to give two concerts in Wanganui, has just completed a film under her own name entitled “Flowers for the Living.” The story of this film is based on the return to civil life of the Englishwomen who served in the W.A.A.C.’s and suchlike women’s war organisations and corps. Moura Lympany leaves London by air, arriving at Auckland on July 8, giving her nrst recital in Wanganui on July 15 and her second on August 9. She plays twice in Wanganui with a strong recommendation from her distinguished colleague, Colin Horsley. College Dance Last Saturday evening a school dance, organised by junior members of the staff and prefects, was held in the Girls’ College Hall. Prefects welcomed the guests, who were pupils from the Collegiate School and the Technical College, in the front porch, and Miss Baker received them in the hall, which pupils had decorated with greenery and flowers. The celling was festooned with sparkling blue and gold stars and gay balloons, while streamers in the school colours and large bowls of hydrangeas adorned the stage. About 140 senior girls attended and their bright frocks completed a very colourful picture. In the gaily-decorated dining hall guests enjoyed an excellent supper, most of which was prepared by the girls under the supervision of Miss K. O'Tfcole. Mr. N. F. Havre officiated as Master of Ceremonies.
