WOMEN-S TEMPERANCE

PARTY AT BISHOPSCOURT. Oi and ' encoura-giiii uj' tiio sunihino and pleasant. eurrouTid"iac'3 at. on featurday afternoon the • stall-Holders at thA Kew Zes.laad Church Mieoiocary Society's garden party entered- upon ttoir. ' duties with a buoyant air'that wao ial'ectioua, aud reacted on their customers, making ■the. gathering Both enjoyable and profltafclfi. Before tlxo formal, opening, the Rev. E. p. W. Povrell briefly .welcomed homo ;Bishop and Mro Wfeat-'Wa.tsLz, and, on behalf of the Society, thanked them' for lending their grousdtor. the garden party.. ''lt'is a great joy for ua to bo bad; again, and. to tvelcpme another hand of workers •to . this • garden,'' eaid Bishop V/ost-Wataon. " i'ou dc> not 3tced to thank usj.it is we Who thank y° u 01 " making use of Bisfropscourt and its grounds, and.&o justifying their existence. - Although times wero bad—he had noticed the shadow of depression hanging over many countries ia his travels—ho, hoped the feeling of anxiety and unrest would soon piss, and that pgoplc would become infected with a, spirit of confidence aud hope.. The Church MisBionary Society was spreading a message of hope 'in inany lands, and was deserving of generous support. The Bifhop detailed somo of tho hardships endured by missionaries in Chins, and described his recent visit to Missionary Society institutions iri Asia and Africa. In Colombo, he and Mro WestWatson had visited tha fine building whore Miss Opio laboured successfully; in Palestine they had visited a splendid lichool' for girls, conducted by thru-i eocieties—the Church Mission to Jews, the Church Missionary Society, and the Jerusalem and the Bast Mission. This school, in which Moslems, Jews, i:nj Arabs worked together, was cne of th•; finest in Palestine, and was staffed almost entirely, by Englishwomen. It vraa a good example of the worl: that could be done by missionary co-operation if triod iu the right spirit. In Jerusalem tho Society conducted a school for boys, the building standing on the site of what, in our Lord' 3 lifetime, was a rest-house for atrangers unable to gai:; accommodation in the City. Here one hundred and tweijty-threo boys were receiving a good education. Ho had also, ho said, visited the hospitals at Gaza, at Nablud, and at Cairo, tho latter being in charge of Dr. Harpur. "I have taid enough," the Bishop concluded, "to make you realise tho groat value of tho work that you arc to-day assisting; I can assure you it is immensely v.-orth while, and I as!: God's blessing on you aud on your efforts.' ' , The stalls and toa-tabio.) were arranged' on the lawns, under chestnut and laburnum trees in full bloom. The musical, programme was arranged by Mrs Stephen Parr, a missionary play | was acted, author-doors, by the girl.s i St. Jamics's Parish, Riecarton, and an exhibition of folk dancing and physi- [ cal drill was give* by St. Saviour's 1 Girl Guides.

DANCE RECITAL.

.MISS MACDOX ALD'S PUPILS. Dancing" diiijhtiuliy eid v-iiii charming grace, Mies Bessie Macdonald's pupils enter-. tainsd a largo audience at the Civic Theatro oq Saturday evening- T.he way in which thft pupils performed, without a single hitcli throughout the entire programme, could only have been the result ol long a-nd patient rehearsing. Of the costumee little can fc-j eaid, exoept that whether ballet dresses or I evening gowns, they were always pretty, a» times almost k'O r 8 eouß > and were peculiarly acvroprmte to the scenes. One of the most enjoyable features of the evening- was the amazing confidence o! the, younger perform--trs, the youngest was aged 2J, /"ho came on and performed without the Slightest trace of shyness and semed to ba enjoying themeelvcs hugely. The stage management wao excellent, there being scarcely a pause between the items, of which there -IBo'ha recital v. as in aid o: St. S&viour a Orphanages. _ , „ . , . , "Here Comes the Snow Boat, in vrhicli Ml Pave McGill was the soloist, waj the £rst item. He wao accompanied by a ballei which danced to the catchy tune, the patter being very well done. Then followed & very diminutive ballet, members of which, wearing enormous silver top hate, danced gravely and proudly, and very well. An acrobatic Adagio by Pat Gregory and Pat Foster was really an amaiing exhibition of skill, strength, and grace. "Dream Boat, where Gladys Rose, the eoloiet, came on to the stage in a stately boat, accompanied by a chorus of tiny tots, was a very effective number. When the atage was bla-cked out it wae lit by many coloured lights from •the dream boat. ' . Then followed '"Tiio Fairies Frolics, in which leading parts were taken by Pat Bhodes Caged S), Flora Dalziel (aged 4), Faye Benson (aged 3). and Patricia Towart l&ged st>. As the little girls camo solemnly forward to do their parts, they wero greeted with shouts of applause from a delighted audience. The youngest performer took • gieafc interest in the audience, and in her companions or*, the stage, but when the time came she performed her p&rt nobly. "The Fairies' Frolics" was profcoMy the most popular item of the evening. "Baster Chickens" was another well-done Bnd greatly appreciated ballet. The lights went up on a crowd of chickens round a magnificent and very realistic Easter Egg 1 , fiom which the chief chicken, Mickey Perrin, later emerged. Very martial was the "March of the Grenadiers," by Dave McGill and ballet. Dressed in Caming red, the ballet marched and danced very effectively. "Housemaids and Bell- Boys" was another popular ballet. Housemaids of- varying sizes, trim in green dresses and white aprons, came or< to the stage turning cartwheels to join a rather disdainful crowd of bell bovo. "Lazy Lousiana, Moon" was sung delightfully by Alice Chapman, who ■was accompanied by a ballet in long evening gowns. The entire company took part in the magnificent grand finale, "Tulip Time." Alice Chapman and Davo McGill sang "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" as tho stage began to fiil with human tulips and fairies. Moro ar.'i more came on and then came the bride and bridegroom, Pat Khodea and Faye Mt'Caughren. Then Miss Macdonaid herself appeared on tho stage and was greeted with rounds of well-deserved applause. Other items were: Songs by Faye Mo♦aughren and ballet. Faye and Bob McCaughren and Dave McGill, operatic dances ' try Pat Jones, Dorothy Petric, Natalie Benson, Frances Clarke, Norma Thomson, Peggy Hart, Iris Hawker, and Elsie Band; ballets by the junior and senior students and the tiny tots; operatic duos by Thelnia Feron and Doris Todd, Gwen Anson and Charles Birchneld; baby trio, Natalia Benson, Pat Jones, and Peggie Hart; eccentric duo, Winnie Hawker and "Wilders McMullan polka, Edna Graham; comedy dance, Sybil Henderson, and an acrobatio trio by Betty Freeman, Pat Gregory, and Wildera McMillan. Mrs W. O S. Adam was the musical director and accompanist.
