Dear Bee, July 19. A delightful evening was spent by those who went to THE CONCERT given by Messrs Prousc and Williams, of Wellington. There were only two Nelson singers taking part in the concert, and they were Mrs Houlk< r. who looked extremely well in a lovely gown of creamy satin, richly trimmed with lace; and Miss Mackay, who was gowned in black silk with spray of red poppies on the low corsage. Among the audience were Mrs c. Watts (Blenheim), wearing a handsome cloak of cream broche edged with fur; Mrs Percy Adams, heliotrope gown, cream cloak; Mrs J.
