NELSON.

Dear Bee. January 30 The Theatre was again well filled when‘A Night Off’ was performed by THE WILLIAMSON AND MUSGROVE COMEDY COMPANY last Friday evening. They are such good actors that their performing for more than two nights in Nelson was a rare treat. But wonderful to say, on this occasion the public did not show their appreciation of talent, and on Saturday this clever Company played to a very poor house. Among others during the season I noticed Mrs Glasgow, in black with dainty cap; Miss Glasgow, pretty pink silk blouse ; Miss R. Glasgow, pure white frock ; Mrs Percy Adams, rose pink and black blouse ; Mrs L. Adams, white Kwn : Mrs Cooke, pretty evening blouse of pale pink with white :e : Mrs A. Glasgow, Mrs R. Kingdon, Miss Levien, Miss Broad, Misses Edwards (two), Mrs Macquarrie. Mrs Scaife, Mrs Thornten, etc. On Saturday afternoon Mrs Robinson gave a delightful PICNIC to a number of small children. The spot chosen was Mackay’s

Bluff, where a very jolly time was spent by all, and numberless were the regrets when the time came fora start to be made for town. Being their holidays, of course numerous pleasant parties are being given to the children. Mrs Henry Edwards entertained them at an enjoyable GARDEN PARTY on Tuesday, when the time went all too quickly in tennis, games, etc . interspersed with numberless dainties in the way of refreshments. Mrs Ledger entertained them in a similar way on Wednesday afternoon at her pretty residence, ‘THE WALTONS.’ Quite a number of children went out from town to the party, and all declare they had a lovely time. The thirteenth session of the GENERAL SYNOD opened in Nelson on Thursday, January 31st. A large number of clergymen have come. Bishop Wilson, of Melanesia, arrived in the Mission yacht. He is the guest of Bishop and Mrs Mules. On Saturday afternoon, the 2nd February, all the members of the Synod are to be entertained by the Bishop of Nelson and Mrs Mules at a garden party, when, if it is only fine. I hope to be able to tell you of some smart gowns. At present the weather is decidedly threatening. OUR PEOPLE. Miss Pritt is at present in Wellington. Nearly all the camping out parties have returned to town, in fact, most of the holiday makers are in our midst once more, the schools have reopened, and the colleges begin on Monday, so that one feels as if this year had now begun in real earnest. Mrs Fell and her family came home to-day, and all look to have thoroughly enjoyed their annual trip to Totaranui. Miss Higgs and Miss Olliver both returned from Christchurch looking all the better for their holiday. Bishop Julius of Christchurch, is at present in Nelson, and a guest of Mr and Mrs Sclanders. The Bishop of Salisbury, apd Bishop Wallis and his wife are the guests of the Bishop of Nelson and Mrs Mules.
