It is not often that there has been performed in Wellington a play in wh'icb the characters are' nearly all children, and partly for that reason, perhaps, and also for the fact that little Cecil Haines, who has mado so many friends in Wellington, was playing a leading part in tbe, play, the Opera House on Saturday .-.was largely filled with children. It was a keenly attentive audience that followed every ac-' tion and situation ,with a concentration ;iiai; missed no point, and the naughtiness of Suds evidently made a great appeal, to say nothing of "Bobbie's" red hair. Needless to -say, chocolates anil Sowers were among the present thmss ft at worG seuti U P as g^ts at the end of the performance.

Among its various activities, the Christchuroh branch of the Victoria Leaguo has since the outbreak of the war collected a special- war huid, to bo used for some particular object suitable for its Imperial work. The amount stood at '£272, which it was . hoped would be augmented to £300. Members had worked most enthusiastically to make clothing for the poor in a Black Country town near Hagley Park, in ■England, and afterwards filled three special cases of clothing for the Belgian refugees and British poor. Later still, through the energetic organisation of Mrs. Cyrus Williams, five cases were filled with Red Cross and hospital garments for the_ wounded soldiers, all of these cases being sent to Miss Talbot ; ilso a sum of £68 18s. 2d.', being part sum realised from collections on New Year's Day in Lyttelton, was cabled for the British Red Cross Soiciety. . .
