Fun' and frolic prevailed at the jolly. Christmas party given by Mrs. E. Bradley in the Parish/Hall, Te Karaka, for her little son Kent.

The hall, gaily decorated with balloons; and streamers, presented an animated scene, and all sorts of game# and competitions were enjoyed by the children. A Christmas tree hung with balloons and toys, gave a festive air to the surroundings and was a source of joy to the tiny who were each presented with a gift from it. Afternoon tea was served to the adult'guests on the stage from tables artistically arranged with summer blooms. -• * • •
