The Girls' Friendly Society and their friends met to do honour to one of the members, Miss WIEDENBACH, who had been an active member, prior to her marriage. The social took the form of a Kitchen Tea. Songs, recitations and dancing whiled away one of the most enjoyable evenings spent in Mitre Lake. After supper Cr. Hermann SUDHOLZ responded on behalf of Miss WIEDENBACH. "For She's A Jolly Good Fellow" was sung. Those contributing to the programme during the evening were Misses WIEDENBACH and WOOLMER, Messrs Arthur MAYBERY, Harry KEYTE and Wesley DEWAR. Miss WIEDENBACH will be much missed from the Mitre Lake District, but it will be Natimuk's gain.
