Palmerston North

(From our own correspondent.) July 1. The inmates of the Old People's Home at Awapuni were given a musical afternoon on last Wednesday week, under the auspices of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. A very, entertaining programme was arranged, and the inmates were provided with refreshments. The old people were delighted with the entertainment. Songs were contributed by Mrs. E. P. Nash, Mrs. E. J. Ley don, Mrs. Hall (of Shannon), Miss Brophy, and recitations were given by Mrs. Brown and Mr. C. O'Brien. Mrs. Leydon was accompanist. The matron (Nurse Kilgour) entertained the party (which included Father McManus) to afternoon tea, and expressed her appreciation of the fine spirit shown by members of the St. Vincent de Paul Society in arranging these functions, which are so thoroughly enjoyed by the inmates of the home.
