WOMEN’S WORLD.

The friends of Mrs Greatorex, Fitzlierbert, will regret to hear that she has had to enter a private hospital to undergo an operation. Miss Anderson, matron of the Willard Home, and Miss Pearce, sub-mat-ron, who are on a visit to the Old Country, are expected to leave on their return trip on October 3, arriving in Palmerston North early in' November.

Mrs T. Bain, wife of a well-known Dannevirke resident, died at her residence last week. The late Mrs Bain had been associated with Dannevirke from its early development having arrived there with her husband 38 years ago. She was born at Maxwelton, Scotland, and arrived in New Zealand with her parents, the late Mr and Mrs John Young, who settled at Clive, Hawke’s Bay, where Mrs Bain was married, removing subsequently with her husband to Dannevirke.

A large number of the friends of Miss Minnie Judd, an erstwhile resident of Tokomaru, now of Napier, assembled there on Tuesday evening to wish her happiness on the eve of her wedding. Games, dancing and songs formed the entertainment, and Miss Judd was the recipient of many gifts. On her behalf, Mr Christiansen expressed thanks for the gifts and good wishes of those present. Vocal items were contributed l\v Messrs Kemsley and Ziegler, the latter also delighting the guests with two elocutionary items.

LADIES’ HOCKEY.

MANAWATU ON TOUR. On Tuesday afternoon, at Eltham, the touring Manawatu ladies’ hockey team drew with the North Taranaki representatives, three goals all. The tourists opened brilliantly' and dominated the first spell. However, they could not finish their movements, the essential combination being a little lacking. The showing they made indicated that, with a few more games together, the team would be hard to beat.

After a poor opening, North Taranaki warmed to their work and monopolised play in the second spell, being lucky enough to score the equalising goal right in the call of time. The most brilliant i player among the visitors waa the captain. Miss W. Ranson, who has been nominated for the New Zealand team to tour South Africa, comments the Stratford Post. She frequently turned defence into attack, and, outwitting player after player, sent terrific shots at the home custodian. Her side’s three goals came from her stick. Yesterday afternoon, in a fast game at Eltham, the Manawatu ladies’ team beat the Taranaki ladies’ team by five goals to two, the visitors proving superior to their opponents.

HOCKEY DANCE.

C. AND C.’s CLUB HOLD SUCCESSFUL EVENING.

The Anzac Club was the venue of a delightful dance held on Wednesday by the C. and C. Ladies’ Hockey Club. The hall, which was comfortably filled, bad been most tastefully decorated by Mr C. F. Merson and assistants. The festooning in yellow was restful and original while the centre of the hall was treated in quite a novel way in green and red. The centre piece of the decorative scheme was suspended from the ceiling and was illuminated. Coloured lights took the place of the ordinary white lamps and consequently the room had a most comfortable and alluring effect. Mesdames L. H. Collinson and W. Winks were the chaperones. The music was in the hands of an orchestra who gave a most, pleasing display. Extras were played by Miss Jean Lampard and Mr A. Konberg. A beautiful supper w,as prepared and served by Mrs Coates and her sub-committee. During the evening a demonstration of the new waltz followed by a demonstration fox trot was given by Miss Jean Muir and her partner, Mr A. Matthews.

FAREWELL CABARET. The Empire Hall was the scene of a gay and festive cabaret last night to farewell the visiting delegates of the 'New Zealand Motor Trades’ As--1 sociation, and their wives. Shades of orange and yellow were the keynote of the : general colour scheme, and small tables with vases of spring bulbs were placed all round the hall, while large notices told you what to do and what not to do regarding the motor trade such as: “Buy a used car and spend your week ends on the open road,” “Sec our new models of used ■cars,” etc. The programme was most wonderfully got up, each dance being given the name of a well-known brand of car or accessory. The following were the committee responsible for tho excellent arrangements and they are to be congratulated upon the outstanding . success of the function: — Messrs J. Sclwyn, V. G. Clift, F. Ccrdery, H. Edmunds, L. Pierard, K. Glendinning, N. Alackie, B. J. Jacobs. A toast list was honoured and following that of “The King,” Air Aladden proposed the “New Zealand Alotor Trade Association.”- He said that, although he had not been long in New Zealand, he had realised that the N.Z.AI.T.A. was not formed for individual interests, but for service to the members and public alike. In reply, Air C. Wood (Timaru) referred to the association as a means of developing tho motor industry in New Zealand, and said that he deeply appreciated what the Palmerston North traders had done for the visitors in the way of entertainment and conference arrangements. Eulogistic references were made to the ability and foresight of the founders of the ALT.A. by Air G. H. Scott (Wellington), in proposing . the toast of tho “First Alembers.” Mr Scott stated that the association had been very fortunate indeed to have had such men as the late Mr John Bett as a founder, and, in the trade, his name could not bo honoured too often or too highly. The late Mr Bett, as the first chairman of the association when formed in Palmerston North in 1917, had established a code of ethics and business morals which had been shown 'in every conference held. Those who had early associated with the asosciation had been men of foresight, but they could hardly have realised that the .association would become the important body i£ was today. Air Scott then read out the names oi the original members of the [ association, which were as follow: Alessrs J. Bett (Palmerston North), E. J. Wackrill (Feilding), J. C. Young (Palmerston North), J. B. AlcKenzie (Palmerston North), K. C. AlcKenzie (Palmerston North), 0. Andrews ’(Alarton), J. Walker (Palmerston North), J. Barney (Bulls), N. A. Neilson (Bulls), G. Stacey (Feilding), W. H. Bain (Feilding), F. Knox (Palmerston North), W. Turner (Palmerston North), J. H. Perry (Feilding). Air J. R. Perry suitably replied. Other toasts honoured were:— “New Zealand Council,” proposed by Air Hope Gibbons and replied to by Air Fiavell; “The Wholesalers,” proposed by Mr C. Alerryweather, Air D. F. Bauchop responding; “The Visitors,” proposed by Air L. Pierard and replied to by Air Nicholson and Air L. A. Paish, British Trade Commissioner in New Zealand.
