Richter and J. Lugton, duets; Misses J. Clements and A. Frampton, tap-dancing; Miss P. Luxton, elocutionary items; Mrs W. Haycock, violin solos. Miss Z. Rushton, was the accompanist. Cards and games combined to make a most happy and enjoyable evening.

Mr W. Darrall, speaking on behalf of the residents, mentioned the many activities in which both Mr and Mrs Wilton had been interested, and presented them with a handsome chiming clock, and wished them every happiness in their retirement. Mr and Mrs Wilton suitably replied. Happy Afternoon A number of friends met at the residence of Mrs H. Wilton, Tatuanui, recently, to farewell Mrs M.
