DUNEDIN.

Dear Bee. January 22. Socially things are very quiet at present; no doubt everyone is saving up for the Otago Jubilee in March. 1 hear rumours of several large balls to take place at that time. Mrs George Denniston gave a SMALL AFTERNOON TEA at her residence, Willowbank, Leesstreet. on Friday, for Mr and Mrs Richardson (Wellington). Those present were: Mrs Eardly Reynolds, Mrs Eric Reynolds. Mrs Graham, the Misses Graham and Henry. Misses Reynolds. Roberts. Gilkison. Stephenson, and others. The s.s. Waikane left for the West Coast Sounds on Thursday afternoon. She presented a very pretty appearance. and was saluted by the Union Co.’s vessels as she steamed out of port, also by a number of bystanders who had gone to bid their lucky friends bon voyage. Mr James Mills and Miss Buller have returned to town. The former had a nasty fall from his bicycle at Waihola, and is quite disabled at present. Miss R. Mills has also returned home. It is very pleasant to see many of the absentees coming back looking brown and well, after the many weeks" fresh countryair and hot sunshine. A large party of South Canterbury people passed through Dunedin last week on their way to Lakes Manapouri. Te Anau.and Southland Falls. The trip should be a very- enjoyable one if the weather is good.
