Dance for Debutantes
A very enjoyable dance for young
people was the one given by Mesdames
N E. Knight and W. J. McDiarmid at
the Masonic Hall, in honour of their
daughters, Nancy Knight, and Mollie
and Sheila McDiarmid, who recently
made their debut at the Masonic ball.
The decorations were effectively car-
ried out in Autumn shades of orange,
yellow, and brown steamers which fell
from fringed hoops in the centre of
the room, while balloons of the same
Urnings and various gaily coloured
flags made an attractive finish to the
gallery upstairs. The supper-table
was attractively adorned with Iceland
poppies, Spring bulbs and marigolds,
and pale yellow tulle draped artisti-
cally with marigolds decked the centre
of the table. Mrs. Knight wore an
evening gown of black velvet trimmed
with silver U.me, and Mrs. McDiarmid's
choice was a frock of black georgette
and lace. The three guests of hon-
our wore the pretty white frocks in
which they were presented a few
weeks ago. The evening was further
enlivened with various novelty dances,
the prize for the Monte Carlo being
won by Miss Flo Allsworth and Mr.
Harold Emmett. In all some 90 young
folks assembled, the guest list in-

Celebration at Bellerive

Saturday was a memorable day for
residents óf Bellerive and the Clarence
district generally, for it marked the offi-
cial opening of the club rooms and hos-
tel of the Clarence sub-section of the
Returned Sailors and Soldiers' Imperial
League at Bellerive. The Governor
(Slr Ernest Clark), who was accom-
panied by Lady Clark, performed the
opening ceremony, and war attended
by Capt. J. R- Johnson, A.D.C., and
accompanied by Miss Joan McLennan
(private secretary). A source of
great interest was the striking panel-
ling set up in the main hall where the
seven panels hung bear all the badges
of tue Australian Imperial Forces, Mr.
Fred Brough having effectively design-
ed and set them out. The President
(Dr. G. Musgrave Parker), who was
accompanied by Mrs; Parker, presided
over a large and representative gather-
ing. Lady Clark and Lady Gellibrand,
wife o£ the Patron (Sir John Gelli-
brand) were presented with posies tied
with red, white, and blue ribbons, by
little Ann Quinton and Jan Harris. A
large Union Jack lent a further pat-
riotic note on the dals where the offi-

cial party were grouped, and along the. .
front of the stage were large bowls of

purple iris and long sprays of lilac. .
The official tea was served in the com-
mittee-room, "'hicli was .gay with.yel-
low and white flowers. In the official
party were: The Governor and '-ady
Clark, Miss Joan McLennan, Capt. J.
R. johnson, Dr. Musgrave Parker and
Mrs. Parker, Sir John Gellibrand . ¿d
Lady Gellibrand, Mr. and Mrs. Laussen,
Mr. and Mrs. M. U Butcher', Col. M.
Mullen, and Mr. H. Martin. To help
this branch of the work a women's auxi-
liary has been formed, with Mrs. Mus-
grave Parker as President, and Mrs.
Lyddon Cook, who was formerly an
English army nursing sister as honor-
ary secretary. The other executive
officers are: Mesdames J. Elliot and A.
Neilson (vice-presidents), Mrs. Blight
(hon. treasurer); and the large commit-
tee included representatives of sur-
rounding districts. Bellerive residents
are very proud of the fact that .hey
have living in their midst three return-
ed Army Sisters, who have been made
honorary members of tho club; they
are Mesdames Lyddon Cook, Spread-
bury (formerly Sister Nicholson), and
J. Elliot (formerly Sister Hood).

Successful Bridge Parties

To raise funds to help defray ex-
penses incurred in the recent im-
provements to the Victoria Conval-
escent Home at Lindisfarne, a bridge
afternoon and evening were held in
the reception room, at , the . Hobart
Town Hall, last Wednesday, when
the organisers were the Lady Mayor-
ess (Mrs. J. J. Wignall), Miss Evelyn
Butler, and other members bf the
committee. In the past the public
has seldom been called upon to as-
sist with any such special effort, but
as the Home grows so. do expenses In-
crease. Considering that there have
. been so many functions of a similar
? character lately, the result was very

gratifying to the committee, the funds
benefiting to the extent of just over
£42. Heavy expense has recently
been Incurred In improvements and

additions to the Home which were -
urgently needed to raise the standard
ol' comfort and convenience for the
patients and staif, and all the women's
. wards and private rooms have been

renovated and brightened with new
furnishings. This ls the first occa-
sion on which a bridge party has been'
held for the benefit of this institution,
and the generous response with which
the appeal has been met, has encourag-
ed members of the committee to en-
deavour to raise a further sum by the
same means next year. The reception
room whore the bridge tables were
arranged was óiade comfortable and
bright with the red baize floor-cover
ir-g, and large bowls of pink blossom,

paeonies, and purple iris. Tea and .
supper were served in the committee
room, and in the Lady Mayoress' room.
Bowls of lovely pink and mauve stock
decorated tho window sills of ? the
committee room, and a tall gilded
basket decked with shaded pink blos-
som and lilac was used as a centre-
piece for one of the tea tables. Flowers
iu rich brown and golden tones were
used to harmonise with the colouring
In the Lady Mayoress' room. Those
assisting with the tea and supper ar-
rangements were: Mesdames F.
Sweetingham, G. Freeman, A. J. Top
ham, Musgrave Parker. W. M. Hood,
and Miss I. Beedham. The vendors of
sweets, etc., were': The Misses Bar
, bara Atkins, Elaine Giblin, Thelma and

Joyce Sweetingham, Mollie Swan, Már

Turf Club Meet

Counter attractions and the blustery
weather conditions were doubtless
responsible for the absence of many
of the . usual racegoers at Elwick on
Saturday for the Hobart Turf Club's
charity meeting This, the second
fixture of the season, again left much
to be desired in the way of weather
? conditions, although the high wind

was not so cold as that experienced
at the opening meet. The uncertainty
of the weather made womenfolk
naturally cautious as to their wearing
apparel, and in consequence there is
little to be said of fashion on the day.
Heavy Winter coats of tweed, boucle,
or fur were still the most favoured,
making the dressing distinctly sombre.
The lack of colour even in the flower
beds was very apparent. Here and
there some brave venturer essayed
to introduce the new season's fashions,
but such pioneers were few and far
between. One of the. brightest and
smartest outfits noticed was that worn
by a member of the younger set. It
was a swagger suit in a lovely shade
ot vivid red boucle, worn with a match-
ing hat which had a stitched brim
turned up all round. Another regular
habitue of this sport chose the at-
tractive combination of brown and
bottle green; the suit of wool was
green,-and the high necked jumper
and felt hat were dark brown. Greerj
in a very much' lighter shade was seen
iv another woollen suit which was
worn with a brown jumper and a smarl
pork-pie hat to match the suit
Another striking outfit was a blacl
and vrhite ensemble; a blnck anc
white check swing-back coat was won
over a black frock, and the becomlnj
hat was a wide brimmed felt.

Among those seen in the enclosure
were: Mr. and Mrs. N. D. Ferguson

small daughter, Jenifer Jane, who was .
born in Penang just 13 months ago. She
is in the charge ot her picturesquely
dressed Chinese amah, and her sturdi-
ness does not reflect any disadvantages
of the Penang climate. Although the
never-varying climate, except for the
wet and dry seasons, is a trifle monoton-,
ous, Mrs. White Ands Ute on a rubber
plantation about 20 mlleB out ot Pen-
ang interesting and busy enough. Her
nearest neighbour is about five miles
away, but distance counts for little in
Malay, and tho white people living on
' the rubber estates think nothing ot
motoring 40 or 50 miles out to dinner.
Country clubs are established within
a few miles of each other, and there is
. . plenty of golf, tennis, and bridge, and lt

is a comparatively Bhort run into the In-
teresting townsite of Penang, where
pictures and other entertainments may
be enjoyed for a change, and there ls

Chinese are generally used as: house

most'efficient. After over two years
in. Malay, Mrs. White linds Tasmania
the ideal place in which to live, but has
acquired a certain fondness for her new
home setting. .

Rowing Club Dance

The opening dance of the Bucking-
ham Rowing Club's popular Siimmer
series proved an outstanding success
on Saturday evening. The club hall
looked its best with artistic decorations
of black and white, and lavish Spring
blossoms tastefully . arranged by the
women's committee. The occasion es
. tablished an attendance record for an
opening night, as well over 500 dancers
moved to the lilting rhythm of the J.
P. Knowles orchestra, the delightful
: arrangement of the semi open-air ball-

room making cool and comfórtable
dancing possible despite th' fact that
the capacity of the hall was taxed to the
utmost. A home-made supper was
served, and the excellent organisation
reflected credit on both the committi as
responsible. Women supporters spe-
cially contributing by their assistance

to the evening's success were: Mes-.
dames Porte, Sturges, J. Marsh, G.

Kennerley Home Helpers

The concert given recently by the
boys of the Kennerley Home in the
Hobart Town Hall afforded opportunity

to demonstrate the sympathetic atti-

tude of the public towards the work
which this institution performs, for
every available seat was occupied. The
official party comprised Lady Lewis,
the Lord Mayor (Mr. J. J. Wignall),
Mr. H. E. (L.) D'Emden (Chairman of the
Board of Governors), and the newly
appointed conductor of the Hobart
Broadcasting Commission's orchestra,
Mr. Clive. Douglas and Mrs. Douglas.
Among others in the large audience
were Lady Nicholls and Miss B.
Nicholls, Mr. and Mrs. Percy
Ash, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Ped-
der, Mesdames Carmichael Lyne,
Charles Seager, Percy Strutt, G. F.
Johnson, Miss N. Grubb, Messrs. Wal-
ter Taylor and James Marsh. The
singing and bellringing of the boys was
a revelation to their appreciative
audience. The excellence of their per-
formance is the better realised when
it is remembered that the necessary
training is carried out after the nor-
mal duties attendant upon the care of
such a large family has been executed,

and for this the matron, Mrs. E. Kal

lend, deserves high praise. The par-
ticipation of a large orchestra under
the baton of Mr. T. Hopkins, with

which the bellringers combined in an
item of unusual interest, written for
two-part bellringing, and the assistance,
of Mrs. Clive Douglas, who made her
Hobart platform debut, contributed to
the concert's success. The floral de-
coration achieved by Mrs. C. H. Cres-
well was much admired. An artistic
setting of Iceland poppies and daffodils
provided a harmonious foreground to
the platform. The bellringers were
under the direction of Capt. E. Kallend.
Others contributing items to the de-
lightful programme, which was ar-
ranged by Mrs. Kallend, were: Mes-
dames Sholtz, R. J. Pharoah, Misses
Edith Lahey, Eileen Carter, Sholtz,
Jean Hibbard, Messrs. David Feir-
clough (violin), Dennis Hourigan
(cello). The Misses Sholtz and Sylvia
Pedder gave recitations, and the able
accompanists were Miss J. Wakefield
and Mrs. Kallend. As a result of the
effort the home funds were increased
to the extent of £ 45.

women to exhibit their products.

Another feature on which there was
much comment was the refusa] of the
judges to award prizes In several sec-
tions, ostensibly because the exhibits
. were not regarded as up to standard.

Some of those who had their ex-
hibits treated in this way contended
that the awards should have been given
to those that were the best among
what was shown if they attained any
reasonable level of show quality. Some
ot the women who were disappointed
. stated that they would not exhibit

again as after all the trouble they had
taken it was more discouraging not
to see a prize awarded at all than to
be beaten. In the latter case they
would gain some idea of the standard
at which they had to aim.

Women Show Judges

A very serviceable organisation is
the Women's Show Judges' Associa-
tion, and it saves show managements
a great deal of trouble. At the annual
meeting of the association last week
it was stated that there were 46 mem-
bers who were capable of adjudicating
at shows. When the societies inti-
mate that judges are required the
association furnishes women who are
very qualified to serve in the different
sections. The association is claimed
to he the only one of its kind among
women's bodies in Australia. De-
monstrations are arranged, in the en-
deavour to set a standard for judging,
and thus bring about as much uni-
formity as possible. Many prominent
exhibitors take a keen Interest in the
work of the association as they are
able to put the exhibitors' point of
view before those selected for judging

tasks.

A Rest Room

. An effective movex made by the
Anzac Hostel Women's League of
Remembrance to arouse more interest
in the War Veterans' Home appeal was
to arrange a rest room for women at
the Launceston Show. A room was

set out as a lounge, 4and members of
the league -were there to1- enrol any
women who desired to join. In this
way the opportunity was provided to
place the aims and work of the league
before women in an Intimate way, and
especially before visitors from the

' country. The rest room proved very,

welcome to numerous women espec-

ially as, in view^of the weather, all '?
the grandstand accommodation was
taken up early and was retained. It

is likely to he an appreciated.feature,
of show ground facilities in successive

years. '

Blue Wedding Cake

Wedding cakes iced and decorated
in .blue aro not often seen, but one in
this tone was made by Mrs. Alan Wil-
son for the Dulling-Norton wedding
this week. Mrs. Wilson remarked
that of the many wedding cakes she
had made, this was the first one to be'
finished in blue. The colours usually
- chosen by brides are pink and white,

with an occasional green. The colour
scheme for the wedding referred to
was blue, and so the cake was made
to harmonise. An attractive finish
to the throatier cake was a Wedgwood
blue vase of delicate blue flowers, and
from this hung blue ribbons. It was
o. very flue'piece of work on Mrs. Wil-
son's part, and was considered es-
pecially dainty by the many who aro
always interested in wedding cakes.
