Then there was also regret that Father O'Neill. "the patriarch of the Community." as Father Murray called him, was not spared to see the church finished. He wished to sincerely thank all the people for their attendance in the morning, evincing great interest by their presence, and in a very practical way by their ge-r our subscriptions.

The ru,nis were packed to overflowing with new mernliters, old members, and ladies' auxiliary members, whilst also present were Rev. Dr. Kennedy and Fathers Smith and MeMilOon. A splendid concert programme was provided, the contributing artists being Fathers Smith and McMahon, and Misses Dawson, O'Connor, McCom,sh, Carr Williams. Elliott, and Dunn, during which light refreshments were served. This was indeed a splendid way of proving to our good lady supporters that the girls keenly appreciated what they have done and are still doing for the club, but nothing could demonstrate too fully the appreciation these ladies deserve. Ladies' Auxiliary. The ladies auxiliary is increasing its activities, and this wee& saw the opening of our luncheon room, with each day some of these good ladies looking after eve-ything. This week the following have been in attendance. Monday, Mrs. N4. Dwyer and Mrs. D. Dwyer; Tuesday, Mrs. Seymour and Mrs. Wallace: Wednesday, Mrs. Gosden, and Mrs. Wallace; Thursday Mrs. Davey and M -s Regan; Friday. Mrs. W. Mitchell, M's. Maxwell and Mrs. Penny. While for next week the undermentioned ladies have undertaken their allotted days:-Monday, Mrs. Stanbury and Mrs. Parker: Tuesday, Mrs Marsh and Mrs. Williams:Wednesday, Mrs. Cornell and Mrs Niece; Thursday. Mrs. Lodge and Mi,s Boyle; Friday, Mrs. Kelly and Mr. Stanbury. Mrs. D. Dwyer, as was previously reported, kindly donated the first lot or linen for the tables, and this time we must thank Mrs. W. Dwyer for a similar gift and Mrs. Gosden for tea towels, as well as for under taking the forwarding of the linen to the laundry as re. quired. Right from the first day it was opened the lunch room proved to be most poular, and before very long it bids fair to be the most popular institution of its kind in town. Donations. A beautiful picture of the Sao. -! Heart has been recived from Mrs Shine, Mr. A. 13. Ranford, pictiire mounter, of William -street, has kindly offered to frame it. To Mr. Kelly, of Dynon and Co., we are indebted for the loan of crockery used on Thursday for our big social evening. A beautiful oak table is another gift for which we hasten to thank the kind donor Dancing Clam. The first of the dancing lessons for, beginners was held on Monday evening, 27th. ult., in the club rooms. Quite a number of the girls came along, and the evening's lessons were a very enjoyable and instructive one. Under the able tuition of Miss Myra McIntosh it is anticipated that it will not long remain a beginner's class. So all those desirous of evading themselves of this opportunity of learning dancing will do well to join immediately. There is still room for more pupils. The lesson cammences at 8 o'clock sharp, and all are requested to be present at that time, in order not to miss the first instruction of the evening. Opportunity was also taken to enrol new members for the club. Pint Aid. A special meeting was held on Wednesday evening, and it was decided that the class should start as soon as possible. Mrs. Parker, superintendent of the St. John's Ambulance Society, is waiting for this class to start her series of lectures. The St. John's Ambulance Society rooms are at the disposal of our members, therefore al: intending, members should hand their namrs in to Miss M. Waldron before the end of' the month.

very pleased to accept any books, magazines, oi suitable readings for our luncheon She would also be very grateful .or donations of books for the library.

The floor is being well worked up and a few good items have been arranged to make the evening as enjoyable as possible. During the meeting the chairman spoke briefly re the cricket team, mentioning that on Sunday afternoon last the team played an enjoyable

match against the Subiaco Hibernian team, and although the match ended in a draw, they won on the first innings. He congratulated the team on their success, and hoped it would follow them in the future. After the meeting a learners' dancing class was again held with great success, and another is promised for Tuesday week. This will, however, be announced later.

Rev. Brothel. Kent, of the Christian Brothers' College teaching staff, has been transferred to the C.B.C.. Kalgoorlie.
