SOCIAL FUNCTION AT PEAK CLUB,
TO MEET CAPTAIN ROBERT DOLLAR."
BAZAAR IN AID OF M.C.L. CHARMING PARTY GIVEN BY SIR R. AND LADY HO TUNG,
LÁDY FEEL PRESENT AT FASHIONABLE GATHERING.
Those who were not at the Peak Club on Wednesday afternoon be tween 4.30 and 6.30. missed a feast of colour, the opportunity of buy ing something really artistic and useful, and the pleasure of part cipation in the happiness of some fifty small girls and boys.
The majority of Peak children moet ench Friday for three months in every summer for the purpose af working for an annual sale of work in gid of M.C.L. funds. The children foregather always at the house of someone who has ample space both indoors and out and they work for about three quarters of an hour and, after refreshment in the form of a glass of lemon equash and ginger biscuit, proceed to play under the direction of à trained eye and hand. Thin sui- mer they met at 31rs. Shaw's, where under an indefatigable leader and really hard working helpers, they produced goods such as perhaps have never been made before by children for an M.CL. function.
The children were divided into classes according to age-older boys with Mrs. Tratman and Miss Jean Mackic; older girls with Mrs. Hills, Mrs Hutson and Mrs. Forster younger boys with Mrs. Osborne, Miss ita Christian, and Miss Nancy Parker-Rees; and younger girls with Mrs. Raworth, Miss Joan Beavis and Miss Ainslie Hallifax. Mrs. Ross was responsible for two classes-a younger and an older of drill and games. Each child. paid 63 towards providing materi als and brought a book for a Bury, run by Mrs. Black, from which ench child could take a book each week.
The Bazaar.
The result of this great effort, which the children knew was for the sake of people less fortunate than themselves, was seen in a series of bright stalls set out at the Peak Club on Wednesday afternoon. Rarely his such an array of lovely and useful things been seen at a bazaar. And the whole arrange; ment of the Club room, the stage and the stalls boro testimony to the concentrated effort and artistic sense of Mrs. Tratman and helpers. The raffles too were a striking feature of the display arranged as they were, most alluringly, by Mrs Naworth.
