' Most beautiful ivorlc is . displayed on the fancy Stalls, and a feature of the bazaar is ; the excellent work done for it by young members of the association. • A novel idea is a -pig-drawing competition . for the children.

Two of Shakespeare's songs were illustrated. in a "very - imaginative In "Who. is Sylvia?"'allegorical .figures of ■ Time, Envy, arid . Love (disguised .as Folly). were shown, disputing over Sylvia's charms. Sylvia entered, and Love captivated, revealed himself without; Folly's disguise. A rendering of the song, '-Take, .0 Take' those Lips Away," , was as .characteristic. ... A dreamer was' shown jwitli his vision of a reluctant fair lady led in chains, by little . figures' of Memory and Hope, while figures of Constancy 1 stood in .tho background, holding glowing, flaming hearts. That was the beginning of the story.' The, Pageant of Autumn was a. series of beautifully-designed, richly-colourcd scenes, the predominating r colours being reds, -purples, and yellows. , Four little crimson Autumn ieaves whirled in, driven by an Autumn wind. 'With this •prelude camo, her heralds, and then Aiitumii: herself, who took her seat on a throne, while, one after'another, husbandmen and labourera brought her tho tribute of the seasons. With the first approach of winter the glories of autumn slowly disappeared,'the red leaves did a wild, . whirling dance, around and. iri„among tho sriowflakes, and '*tlien' : 561T*"" dead, pierced by icy: darts,-while winter camo to~ rule in autumn's place. : • It was a gorgeously-coloured, .;., beautifully-imag-ined pageant, perhaps the best thing Miss. Johnston has yet given. One is never mora iinpre'ssed with lier eye for colour,' and her ingenuity in grouping her figures, 'than' with the way she-: manages: to' inspire the children whom she trains With her -own enthusiasm, so that tHey act out her story with an evident delight in it. During'the evening,- Miss Muriel Beriuett sang -two 'songs* - charmingly. ■ The entertainment - will be repeated this evening. '- .-■- >■
