Colour and Laughter Children’s Brilliant Dance

Hundreds of happily-flushed little laughing faces,, scores of twinkling coloured lights, a riot of vivid colour everywhere, and the incessant ripple of excited chatter, made a gay place indeed of Scots Hall last evening, when a delightful children’s fancy dress dance was held there under the auspices of the Good Shepherd Convent School in Dominion Road. The music, to which tiny feet danced so blithely, was supplied by the Puccini Dance Band, under the leadership of Miss Evelyn Ironside. Dainty little fairies were seen tripping lightly with sheiks and Indian rajahs; there were Spaniards and Italians . . . Dutchmen and wily Chinese, and all the flowers of the garden were there too.

Miss Daphne Knight acted as chief judge of the costumes and competition dancing, the children having been practising for weeks for the latter. The work of their teachers was certainly amply rewarded by the excellent performances given. The prize-winners were as follow: Best Costume: Boy, Trevor Derig, as Hoot Gibson; girl, Zoe Miller as Eastern princess.

The thought of food was repulsive to me. One day a friend induced me to try Anti-Acido. Right from the first dose relief came. In no time all traces of Indigestion completely disappeared. Thanks to Anti-Acido I now enjoy perfect health and lead an active life. “Yours sincerely, ” Anti-Acido has brought back health and happiness to countless indigestion sufferers.
