John Arnold<p>_The Evening Post_, 31 October 1924:<br> THE KELBURN KIOSK<br> REVERTING TO CITY<br> In July next the <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Kelburn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kelburn</span></a> Kiosk, according to the terms of the 21-years’ lease drawn up between the City Council on whose land (a part of the Botanical Gardens Reserve) the kiosk stands, and the Kelburn and Karori Tramway Company, become the property of the council, of the citizens … at the expiration of the period of 21 years from July, 1904.<br> It was laid down in the contract … that the company should within two years of the signing of the document, erect buildings of a value of not less than £1200 [ca. $270,000 in 2024]. Whether the kiosk cost approximately £1200 or more in 1904 he could not say, but very obviously it could not be built for anything like £1200 to-day [ca. $150,000]. Another condition was made that the kiosk should not at any time be used for the purpose of holding public <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/dances" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dances</span></a> and <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/dancing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dancing</span></a> performances, but, though that condition had been evidently considered reasonable then, he doubted whether a contract drawn up in respect of a similar building to-day would be considered reasonable if it included such a clause.…<br><a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19241031.2.108" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/news</span><span class="invisible">papers/EP19241031.2.108</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PapersPast</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/TeaRooms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TeaRooms</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/BotanicalGardens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BotanicalGardens</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/SocialNorms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialNorms</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Wellington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wellington</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewZealand</span></a></p>
John Arnold<p>_The Evening Post_, 9 October 1924:<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; WOMEN IN PRINT.…<br>&nbsp; Miss Jean <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Begg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Begg</span></a>, who has been making investigations recently into the lives and amusements of those who reach places of detention for delinquency, spoke in Christchurch very plainly about some of the cheap <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/dances" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dances</span></a> where “baskets” are taken to provide the refreshments, and everything is on a small scale. There are no older people present at these entertainments, and the young and unwise have it all their own way, quite unchecked. The rooms were badly lit, and the cloakrooms not what they should be. She found that the dances were run by quite young people who looked after the financial side of the affairs. Miss Begg said that she was of opinion that the girls were not bad, but “soul-sick,” and more protective measures were needed by women police specially. She urged further supervision of these <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/dancing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dancing</span></a> halls, furnished houses where girls lived, and picture shows.<br><a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19241009.2.125" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/news</span><span class="invisible">papers/EP19241009.2.125</span></a><br>Biography of Begg in the DNZB&nbsp;<a href="https://teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/5b19/begg-jean" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/5</span><span class="invisible">b19/begg-jean</span></a><br><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PapersPast</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Youth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Youth</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Entertainment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Entertainment</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewZealand</span></a></p>

John Arnold<p>_The Evening Post_, 12 Mar 1924:<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; WOMEN IN PRINT.<br>…<br>&nbsp; While the “spectacular balls” are going on in Wellington, or in any other city, it would be well for the promoters to bear in mind that the revolving of rainbow lights quite prevent the onlookers from seeing the frocks of the entrants to competitions, or the charming gowns of those who are only out for the dancing. These lights are also rather painful to the sight if kept going too long. While they are an addition to the scene if administered sparingly, and are perhaps popular with the dancers, when there is a gallery audience which is present specially to look on, the revolving light should be only occasionally put on.<br><a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19240312.2.100" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/news</span><span class="invisible">papers/EP19240312.2.100</span></a><br><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PapersPast</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Dances" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dances</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Balls" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Balls</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Lights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lights</span></a></p>

John Arnold<p>_The Evening Post_, 23 Nov 1923:<br>WOMEN IN PRINT.<br>…<br>&nbsp; Miss Phyllis Bates made an original move last evening when she requisitioned the Muritai for the purpose of holding a dance. It was a bold move, for any marked inclemency in the weather would have been a death-blow to the function, the expenses in regard to which must have been considerable. However, the weather conditions were ideal—a fresh breeze and a smooth sea.… A tone of happiness prevailed; the flannels worn by the men, and the evening frocks of the ladies imparted a holiday-like atmosphere…<br>…<br><a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19231123.2.142" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/news</span><span class="invisible">papers/EP19231123.2.142</span></a><br><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PapersPast</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Dances" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dances</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/BallroomDancing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BallroomDancing</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Steamers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Steamers</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Ferries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ferries</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Harbour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Harbour</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/YCBWOAGD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YCBWOAGD</span></a></p>
