A SUCCESSFUL HAT AND POSTER CARNIVAL was held at the Olympia Rink in Co-burg-street last Wednesday and Thursday. Fun and laughter was the order of the evening, noth .spectators and those taking part in it being thoroughly well amused. The hall was very prettily decorated for the occasion. and having the band in the centre of the hall was a great improvement. The costumes were remarkably well carried ont. notably Miss Possenniskie’s which was a poster advertising the A. and A. Co.. Ltd. The "Observer’ posters were also remarkably good. Of course, there were the usual number of peasant girls. Indians. Turks, negroes, romps, tramps, etc.', but undoubtedly the clowns were the feature of the evening as far as amusement was concerned. some remarkably elever skating being indulged in by these amateur comedians. A most delightful “AT HOXIE” was given by Mrs J. P. Stevenson last Tuesday, in honour of Mrs Stevenson, of Wellington. Mr Stevenson's mother, who is at present visiting her son. The weather was rather boisterous, but inside the house bright tires, pretty frocks, and a constant ripple of chatter and laughter defied the depressing influence winter weather usually has on one's spirits. A delicious afternoon tea was served in the diningroom, ami the table looked so pretty. The blinds Were drawn, and the gas lighted, which gave a very cheery look to the room. The floral decorations were yellow, and there was the most lovely hanging basket of ferns suspended from the gasalier. A fortune-teller was much in request. the stairs leading to her sanctum being crowded the whole afternoon with those who were anxious to hear of the past and look into the future. Mr- Stevenson received her guests in the hall, wearing a dainty white gown, the bodice prettily finished with lapels of white silk, embroidered with a t’bral design of pink rosebuds and white lace: Mr> Stevenson (Wellingtonl ,wore..-a very handsome gown of grey and white silk, with white chiffon and, black face yoke and vest; Miss White, brown cloth costume, relieved with white, hat to match; Miss May White," 'violet cloth tailor-made gown, with white facings, small violet and white pork-pie toque; Mrs Bertram.
