It is not wholly and solely a baby show” which we are promised in the garden and grounds of the Prime Alinister on Saturday. Of course the kingdom of Lilliput will be in evidence in its most pleasing and attractive aspect, and we shall bo criticising the claimants to'the title of “the perfect baby,” but there are divers other attractions. Among these is a smart little playlet to bo rendered by Miss Hardinge Maltby and Air Vivian Rhind, who will, with brevity and brilliance, demonstrate “The Reason Why.” Then there will he a produce stall, where excellent produce of the farm, the dairy, the still room and the orchard and garden will .appeal to all good housewives and budding economists. One hears, too. of flowers, ices, sweets and such summer day delicacies, of a tea kiosk, and that crowning requisite to the successful garden fete—a clever fortune teller. So it’s more than a baby show.
