DANNEVIRKE.

November 18« ? — A Successful Bazaar Ht The ladies of the Presbyterian Churchl held a most successful bazaar on tha Sth, 10th, and 11th inst. The stalls were loaded -with articles, useful and

ornamental, all of which found a ready sale. Energetic girls found many ways of tempting the nimble sixpence out of the pockets of the unwary, and throughout the bazaar the sound of nail-driving was to be heard accompanied by hints from onlookers, who knew all about it till they came to try for themselves. The hat-trimming competition was the cause of much laughter, and was won by Mr. G. W. Wright, Mr. R. Fraser coming second. Over a hundred pounds was netted as a result of the bazaar, and this is very gratifying to the workers. School Concert. A delightful entertainment was given in the Parish Hall on the 7th inst. by the pupils of Miss Brown’s Terrace School. Items were rendered by the pupils, and “Rumplestiltzskin’’ was chosen as the fairy tale play to be acted. The children did well throughout, and their efforts were much appreciated. Personal. Mrs. G. F. R. Watson, who was a passenger by the ill-fated Pericles, leaves next week for England. Mrs. Mackay, of Palmerston, is staying at the Manse. Mr. and Mrs. A. Bower-Knight returned from their honeymoon on the 12th inst., and will live at "Taihoraiti.” Mr. and Mrs. Morris returned to Dannevirke this week. Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Knight and Miss Young left for Taupo on the 12th inst. Mrs. W. G. Somerville has returned from a holiday visit to Wellington. November 5. Personal. Most of our people are away for the show, and the town is particularly quiet. Next week, however, the bazaars are to begin, and the various stall-holders are eyeing the ever-growing piles of work with satisfaction. The most important event in this week’s news is the Hindmarsh-Knight wedding, a report of which is given elsewhere. Tennis has started in real earnest, and players are getting back into form very rapidly, which augurs well for the success of the club at the end of the season. The various croquet lawns, which have been tended with a zealous hand during the winter months, are now called into requisition, and well-kept lawns are made more beautiful by reason of the energies of a number of the fair sex, who are assiduously practising the sedate game of croquet. There is something so inviting about a eroquet lawn that few are able to resist the fascination of trying their hand at the game, no matter ihow inexperieivced they may be, and generally their success is not long in coming.
