PUPILS’ “AT HOME” MADAME EDITH BAIRD GIVES ENTERTAINMENT Madame Edith Baird and her pupils I gave a delightful “At Home” on Satur- \ day afternoon in St. Mark’s Hall, Re- | rnuera, when about 300 guests were present, and were entertained with an excellent display of the pupils’ danc- 1 ing work and a number of enjoyable j musical items. The standard of the work was of a particularly high order, and the music, Which was supplied by carefully chosen records played on a panatrope, kindly lent by Mr. Styles, was a feature of the afternoon. One of the most attractive items was entitled “Domestic Economy,” and was given by twelve of the tiniest tots, who donned caps and aprons over their smart green uniforms, and in a quaint dance performed a series of household duties—sweeping and dusting with vigorous intent. A ballet number called “The Lily Pond” was delightfully presented by several girls dressed as white waterlilies, rushes, purple and pink lilies, who danced through a series of incidents with exceptional grace of movement, ending with the rest and peace of sunset. A wee white rabbit ventured to visit the pond, but coming face to face with a big bull-frog, scuttled quickly away to the shelter of the reeds and flowers. Miss Amy Hansard contributed several pleasing songs.- Mr. Bucli- ; anan Baird acted as stage manager. Among the guests were:— Mrs. Pope. Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Ridley, Mrs. Jeffery, Mrs. B. J.

Mijinska, Epstein’s famous model, is here seen wearing a picture frock of black taffeta. The shaped flounces are in three tiers, each lengthening on the right side, where the under flounce forms a graceful train. The silver embroidery, on the right of the sloping waistline falls in cascades down v to the hem of the train. The corsage, fitting close to the figure, is finished by a taffeta bow on the left shoulder.
