"The Merrymakers" are still busily engaged giving entertainments in aid of Nazareth House; They recently gave successful entertainments at Rangiora and Southbridge, their clever juvenile efforts meeting with general appreciation. The Girls' Hostel has a social arranged for April 19 for the benefit of the same institution. The ordinary meeting of St. Matthew's (Ladies) branch of the Hibernian Society was held on Monday last, Sister K. Sloan, S.P., presiding. Sick allowance (£3 10s) was passed for payment, and three nominations for membership were received.
