Palmerston North

(From our own correspondent.) May 12. Last year the St. Vincent de Paul Society (ladies’ branch) undertook to hold a series of socials during the winter months. The success that attended their efforts was beyond expectations, and therefore they decided to hold another series this year. The first took place on Wednesday evening at the Empire Hall, and was, as usual, well attended. The object was to raise funds for -the furnishing of Ihe new schools, and no doubt a very handsome sum will be handed over to the management. The proceedings commenced with a euchre tournament, when about 25 tables were occupied, and some good games resulted. The prizewinners were Miss Blamford and Mr. Kelly. At the conclusion of the play supper was served. On the whole a very enjoyable time was spent. The secretaries this year are Misses Brophy and Butler.
