CHILDREN’S DANCE.

The children’s dance held in the Druids’ Hall, on Thursday evening, was a huge success. The weather was the very best possible and the ,childrjen nearly all turned, out ini fancy dress, the whole effect in the “Grand March” being very pretty. About 150 cliilden,. led by two tots, Joan Bovis and Norman Riches, took up all the available space in the Hall. The fancy dresses were many but the palm must be given to wee Rita Easton, who went as “Mother Goose” and looked and acted very quaintly. Mrs Bovis (piano), and Miss Terry (violin) playem for the children, ' Miss Neale’s orchestra playing an extra waltz. The Maori Jazz Band kindly supplied the music for the adults. Everyone present was supplied with supper, and the promotel's wish to tender their heartiest thanks to all the willing volunteers who assisted to make the 'whole a success. * Ambng the fancy dresses were the following:—Norman Riches, “If Winter Combs”; Joan Bovis, “If Winter Comes”; Ileen Foster, “Pack of Cards”; Pauline Gill, “Pierrot”; Earl Watterston, “South Sea Islander”; Mira McEwan, “Rose Bud”; Kate McEwan, “Ballet Dancer”; Phillips Buttjersworflh, “Lord Faumtleroy”; Lily Gustopson, “Quaker”; Rita Easton, “Mother Goose”; William Wiootton, “Indian” ; , Josephine Thompson, “Milkmaid” ; Nance' B'alfour, “Jazz

A' moderate amount of transfusing has been going on a Dunedin' Hospita'l (reports a correspondent), say, two or thre cases a month for the past seven years, and donors have been enrolled, but they come and go, and the medical superintendent deems it prudent to extend his list, and not have to further seek for volunteers amongst doctors or students. It should be put on a business footing, he says. It was not fair, als. it werdi| to compel a man to be a donor, laying himself open to the charge of inhumanity- by refusal. In the Old Country many persons were glad of the opportunity to thus earn a liberal fee. jg
