MARLBOROUGH.

Dear Bee, July 4. Mrs Gudgeon, of Nelson Square, Picton. gave a most successful children’s birthday party on Saturday last, which was a real treat to the children. The rain and damp roads kept some away, but about thirty had a good time of it from four p.m. to nine. The draw ing-room was once more dismantled and transformed, and little feet tripped along and entered energetically into all the games and fun got up for their especial benefit. The little folks present were the Misses May, Geraldine, and Monica Gudgeon, Irene and Aileen Seely, Ethel and Jeannie Seymour, Grace and Belle Allen, Maud and Irene Linton, Essie, Edith, and Dorothy Waddy. Morna Fell, Jean and Gretchen Rutherford, Mary Christopher, May Philpot ts, Moina McNab, Nina Greensill, and lhe Musters Gudgeon, Christopher, Fell, and Waddy. The tea-table in the dining-room looked lovely, especially the cake, which was ic»d and ornamented with hundreds and thousands, and had the effect of making each child present resolve to give their mothers no peace till they had just such another cake on their birthday. Three energetic cheers were given for Mr and Mrs Gudgeon when parents and guardians arrived to convey their responsibilities homewards. Jean.
