GIRL GUIDE BAZAAR

HAND-WORK AND PRODUCE For weeks past every member of the St. Cuthbert’s Guides, with the aid of relatives and friends, has been preparing for the bazaar which is being held' on Friday evening at St. George’s Hall. Ranfurly Road, Epsom. The doors open at 7 p.m., and it is hoped that there will be a record attendance of buyers, who are promised all kinds of bargains from the various stalls. There will be a work stall, at which there are fascinating dolls in handmade clothes . . . children’s frocks . . . bed socks . . . and a hundred and one useful and ornamental trifles and gift suggestions. The apron stall promises great variety, and the Guide stall should do a good trade among the girls themselves. Then there is that indispensable adjunct of all bazaars, the produce stall, and a novelty in lucky dips for the tiny patrons, who will receive their packages by electric train. Every stall is under the care of a helper and is staffed by a patrol of Guides; others are conducting the tearoom. A feature of the evening will be the entertainment given by some of the St. Cuthbert’s Guides, who have been trained for the occasion by Miss Biddy Philcox. The object of the bazaar is to increase the funds to build a hall for the company.

INDIAN POET

PENWOMEN’S LEAGUE The Literature Study Section of the Penwomen’s League held its monthly meeting at the club rooms on Tuesday, when the subject chosen was the life and work of Rabindranath Tagore, the noted contemporary Indian poet and philosopher. A paper covering his life from early youth was prepared and read by Miss H. IJ. Montague, who also gave some readings from his prose writings. The award of the Nobel Prize to Tagore for idealism in literature was the literary event of 1913, following upon the publication of “The Gitanjali” (bong Offerings), translated into ihj thmic and crystalline English by the author himself, and although he published three other volumes about the same time, neither his love lyrics, his songs of patriotism, nor even the spiritual message of his prose contain the universality of appeal to be found in these song offerings, which may be described as having but a single theme—the love of God. Hailed as the “Shakespeare of Bengal, this master-poet of India is a profound philosopher, a spiritual and patriotic leader, an historical investigator, a singer and composer, an able editor, a far-sighted educator and a kind and considerate administrator of his vast estate. But he is, above all a poet, the poet of love, which he interprets in all its multiform expressions. Readings from Tagore’s writings were given by the following members: Mrs. Griffiths, a short storv from “Hungry Stones”; Mrs. Carr Tibbits. Miss E. L. Sweet and Miss Peacocke, extracts from his child poems, ‘ The Crescent Moon,’’ and Miss Quill from “Stray Birds.” Mrs. Arthur Griffiths, the convenor, presided at the meeting, which chose for their next study the writings of Charles Lamb.
