Judging from the keenness they displayed at Tues day’s exhibition, the members are proud of their achievements and a striking feature was that the articles and garments had not been made only by members regarded as experts, but by those with little experience. Considerable interest was * taken by tho public in the display of work and there were many expressions of admiration at the cleverness and craft of the unemployed women.

She thought the club a great credit to the borough. Much of the .success achieved was due to the untiring efforts of the secretary, Mrs. Todd.

DANCE.—A very successful whist drive
lea party and entertainment was held at fcit. Catherine’s School on Saturday. There was a big assembly and about seventy par took of tea. The children had tea early in the afternoon, and the adults later. A really appetising repast, including jellies, triilcs and sandwiche?, was served. Follow ing tea, a delightful concert, presided over by the Vicar (Rev. A. Hegg), was submitted by the scholars of the Sunday School, and their friends. Miss Dorothy Hanson sub mitted some skilful pianoforte solos, which gave much enjoyment. Another musical treat was provided by the Misse* F., 51. and Jfi. Carr, whose selections on tho violin, ’cello nud piauo showed that they are experienced and skilful artistes. Mr. Francis Eatough delighted the audience with eacli of .nis songs, his baritone voice showing no lack of tone and power. Mrs. C. Bishop also used her clear soprano voice to advantage in a number of songs, pre senting each in delightful fashion. Mr. F. \V. Richardson, tenor, appealed to every section of the audience iu turn by Ids singing of “ For you alone,” “ Love-sick Cockles,” and “ My Juliet,” a negro’s inter pretation of Shakespeare’s balcony scene. Recitations wero once again a popular featuro of the entertainment, and young children and adults met with equal success. Miss Dorothy Abbott recited very con fidently and was encored. The Misses Peggy Titteringtou and Cissie Sliutt also submitted recitations, and were given enthusiastic applause. Perhaps the most laughable item was a humorous ^-election by Mr. F. Harrison, who convulsed the nudienco with his clover gags, and lie was later joined by his wile in another exceed ingly humorous piece, “ Domestic Bliss, Part 2.” They won over the entire assembly.
ClilUSTMAS TEA J'AHTY.—The annual
ment was well received, and it was well i p to the high standard set in previous years. An important little ceremony took place at the interval, this being the distribution of prizes to regular ntiendors at the Sunday School. These prizes, which took the form of books, all bore the signature of tbo Vicar. They were presented ' by Miss Katherine Wilson, the village rose queen, and altogether seventeen children received prizes. Thanks, to those who had in any way helped towards the success of i he entertainment, especially the artistes, were expressed hy Mr. F. W. Richardson.
