A Parliamentary Glee Party. The Labour Party are very divid- ed on some questions of policy-in regard to Chins, for instance but has just introduced the House they are achieving harmony in one of Commons It refais to one of direction. A glee party was recent the consequences of the Great War ly formed among Labour M.P., which has entailed hardship on with Mr. Rhys Davies sa conducter, considerable numbers of English and there is a remarkable display of enthusiasm. I leara that the choir has shown an unsuspected amount of vocal talent.

There are twenty-two of them, all M.P.'s who indulge in a great deal of open-air speaking, but despite this, according to Mr. Davice, the quality of the voices is remarkable. The choir has already declined an offer to appear on the London music-halls where they would have been a tremendous attraction, and it has been decided that the Labour movement and certain charitable objects shall have the monopoly of

their services.

There are three members of the former Labour Government in the choir-Mr. F. O. Roberts, who was Minister of Pensions and is the founder of the choir; Mr. Morgan Годез, who was Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Educa tion; and Mr. Daries.
