BLENHEIM.

Dear Bee.— October 1. Mrs. Lucas' dancing class closed last Friday' evening for tin' season, and parents ami friends were invited to be present to witness the pupils' performance of a number of fancy dances, such as the Irish jig. minuet, skirt .dances, sailor’s hornpipe and Scotch reels, which they' danced very prettily, but the Irish jig especially well. Most of the. girls wore white butter-cloth dresses, made exceedingly full, but Miss Marion Browne wore a beautiful dress of cream silk, with satin ribbons. and yoke closely tucked. All. however, looked fresh and pretty. Miss Rees, who has been matron of the Wtiirau Hospital for many years, has resigned her position to prepare for her approaching marriage to Mr Marsden, of Nelson, but before leaving the hospital the nurses presented her with a beautiful brooch of gold, with a design in pearls, ami her initials engraved. Mrs. A. G. Fell, of Pieton. left last Thursday to join her two daughters in Wellington, and from there they leave on the Westralia for Sydney, where they purpose spending a month.

I hear that Mrs. (•. Watts is slowly approaching- convalescence, but she is not allowed to sec many visitors yet. Mrs. Watts returned to Nelson about a week ago.
