WHIST DRIVE. I ——. Brilliant Success ofi First Night. I I i I' l'h fift night of the social event of the season—fhe whist drive in a.id or the l Widows and Orphans Fund at the Metro- pole—was a complete success. At seven o'clock the spacious ballrcon: was filled with players, and the eystem of playing in blocks" w/ts amply justified, as it dispensed with delay, and enabled the play to proceed, as it were. in relays. By eight o'clock aModst 400 JIlnt have participated, and Mr. Evan Hill and MrJ Frank Taylor, who were the chief M.C.'s of it-he whist drive proper, had a busy time, although infringements were rare. At 9.30 all the players had completed the 21 bands, and apparently the plnv I had been of a most interesting and high standard. I PRIZE WINNERS. The following pTiM winners were an- nounced by Mr. Hill, and the prizes pre- sented by Mrs. Jack Harris: IÆdies=-1st, .Mr.s Osborne, 188 (a very good card): 2nd, Mrs. F. F. Jenkins, 185; 3rd, Mrs. C. Davies, 184. (.enticmen—Mr. E. Jonei' nnd Mr H. Seline li9 each, cut for first place and thf> former won, Mr. Seline taking the second prize. Mr T. I^overidge was third .with 178.

It was purchased by Mr. Hutchinson for £ 1 5s. DANCI NG I- I The whist drive proper now over, the rtfior was cleared for dancing, whilst those who preferred tho "knopk-out" compe- titions adjourned to the Commercial Room, where the tables had been laid for this novel competition. Messrs. Ivor Newman, Jack Harries and G? Hemmings were the I.C.'s for the dancing, and Mr. W. H. Citnniffe and Mr. J. R. Palmer were the chief M.C.'s for the knock-out Dancing continuerl until midnight, and the results ot the knock-, out" competitions were as follows: No. l-ht. jfr. and Mrs. Thomas; 2nd, -Vfr. T. W. Evans and Mrs. Jones; 2nd, Mrs. Simons and Airs. Harries. LADrES' COMMITTEE. I Every tribute must be paid to the work of the chief and the- gentlemen who assi.^te.'j them. They were indefati- gable. The members of the Ladies' Com- mittee present were even more energetic and enthusiastic than the gentlemen, and the following ladies worked tirelessly throughout the evening: Airs. Jack Harrie-s and Airs. Fuller (who were faced with a task that called for vast patience and resource), Mrs. W. ,T. Harries (who was a very capable lieutenant "), Mr- Stephens, Mr<. Rosser, M?r?. Gibbs, Airs. Evans, Airs. Griffiths, Airs Dalbv Airs. Ei-aiis, -Alrs. Dtlb i- I rr,. Denning, Mrs. Cunn?e, Mrs. W. C. Wil- liams, Mrs. Loveridge, Mrs. Jarvis Jones, and Mrs. Harry Seline. No praise is too high, for those ladies devoted their u:mc»;-t. energy to make .the opening night a success. They had the satisfaction of knowing that their efforts were well rewarded. Aliss Sybil Hughes was a capable assistant secretary. Mr. F. Sandry, Air. J. Payne, Mr. A. J. Cooae, Air. J. Mprriman, Mr. Jarvis Jones and Mr. T. England were other gentlemen whose assistance was appre- ciated. I AGC 1EGATE COMPETITION.

PAUPERISING THE EX-SOLDIER. Swansea Proposal to Prevent the Evil. Mr. W. F. Francis (secretary of the Federation of Discharged Soldiers and Sailors) and Air. Williams attended the Swansea Guardians on Thursday as a deputation with reference to notification | of admission of ex-service men to Tawe Lodge Infirmary. Mr. Francis said they came in no pÎl'jt ci bravado, Instructions had b;?ej? issued to the Swansea Board of Guar- dians to notify the War Pensions Com- j mittee of all cases admitted to the Work- house. They thought it hard lines that theb, men sliould be pauperised, and they wanted the Government to- take 1 full responsibility for these men. It was true that the Government allotted two beds in the Swansea Annexe where men could at least be retained until by ex- amination it had been found out whether they were suffering l'ixxm i- effecl-, of war service. He wanted the Uuajdian6 to assist in making the Ministry of Pen- sions accept their responsibility. Mr. Francis at-so referred to Article 15 of the Royal Warrant, which provides that widows of those service men whose death was not. due to service shall only receive 12 months' pension. Many of thoee widows would now bo forced to seek parish relief. They wanted the Guardians to assist. theiFt in making tho Government abolish this regulation. Mrs. Williams said she did not thmk any Board had doae more to stop this Sort of thing than they. She wa- sure the Board would do all in its power to induce the State. to take up responsi- bility. Eventually the Board decided that representatives of the Guardians should assist in forming a joint committee of Guardians and Hospital authorities to interview the Ministry of Pensions. It was decided to defer consideration of the position of ,the widows for a month.
