Dear Mee, February 13. Things are still very quiet with us, as they usually are during the hot weather Ou rriday evening Mrs. E. E. Roberts gave a small but enjoyable Bridge evening. lurs. Roberts was wearing a very pretty creme net biouse, threaded with a pale blue silk searf and black silk skirtj Mrs. A. H. Nicoll looked sweet in a white chiffon taffeta gown with lovely Duchess point lace fichu; Miss Dunne, dainty blaek chiffon taffeta froes. with square yoke back and front of white embroidered enmon, and elbow sleeves of the same; Miss Wells, white silk blouse with transparent yoke of lace, and ereme skirt; Miss Gwynneth, heliotrope ehiuon taffeta blouse, tucked ereme net vest, bretelles of silk finished with French knots, black silk skirt. Amongst the men were: Dr. Roberts, Dr. Bennett (Devonport ) , Messrs, Nicoll and Wells. On Wednesday evening a number of Cambridge people went through by special train and brakes to Hamilton to Ada Crossley’s concert. I am glad to say I was one of the party. It was a musical treat; I would not have missed it on any account. Next week we are to have the pleasure of hearing the Cherniavski Brothers in Cambridge. It is not oicen that we get a good company here, as our present hall is so .small. On Wednesday afternoon a large gathering took place at the Tennis Courts to witness the tennis matches between Te Awamutu and Cambridge. A most enjoyable afternoon was spent, and afternoon tea dispensed by the lady members of the club. The matches resulted iti favour of Cambridge, being 9—7, or, counting by points, Cambridge 100, Te Awamutu 93. Before leaving, Dr. Henderson, on behalf of the Te Awamutu Club, thanked the Cambridge Club for the pleasant afternoon afforded them, to which Mr. Isherwood responded. A cricket match between Hamilton and Cambnuge was played on Victoria Square, Cambridge, on Wednesday afternoon, when the visitors were victorious, winning by three wickets. On Wednesday afternoon three full rinks and one pair of bowlers from the le Awamutu Chib visited Cambridge to play an inter-club match, their No. 1 team having challenged the local holders to play for Hallenstein’s Cup. The visitors made a good fight for it, the game being the closest yet played for the Cup. The local team won by 31 points on the aggregate, the scores being: Cambridge, 79; Te Awamutu, 48. Afternoon tea was

dispensed by the members of the local club, which was much appreciated. PERSONAL’ ITEMS.
