ST. GEORGE'S DAY.

CHILDREN'S CONCERT There was a large gathering St. Stephen's Girls College last evening when an entertainment was given by the child- ren of the Victoria branch of the Minis tering Children's League on behalf of

sale of sweets and flowers, as a result of which quite a handsome sun was realised. Those present included Lady May (Pre- sident of the Lenguo) and Mr. Lander.

It was a most praiseworthy effort on the part of the children, who displayed. quite surprising talent in the miscel laneous programme which had been arranged. Quite the tit-bit of the enter tainment was the concluding item, a patriotic tableau, in which all tho Allics were represented. The countries depict- ed, and their representatives, were 85 fullon Britania (Dorothy Morris); Italy

Garrod); France (Marjorie (Suzzate Woill); «apan (Ruhy Young);.- Portugnal (Violet Capell) Hussie (Phyllis Goodall); Montenegro (Rosebud, Young); Belgium (Jessie Walker); Hon- mania (Joan Arnold); Serbia (Phyllis. Davey); and America (John Mohler).

The first part of the programme was as follow:-Piano Duet, Ruby and Vyvienne Young; Dauce, Betty Eustace;
