CHINESE MARKET

WORLD FELLOWSHIP FUNDS Organised to aid the World Fellowship Funds, a Chinese Market was opened by the Mayoress, Mrs. A. D. Campbell, in the Y.W.C.A. on Wednesday afternoon. The girls of the association had decorated the social hall very attractively with streamers, Chinese parasols, and coloured lights. The stalls represented pagodas. Among the many stalls containing a variety of goods and novelties was a stall with Chinese curios with explanations of their history and use. The association’s work for the community was eulogised by Mrs. Campbell in opening the market, and she urged that it be supported. Mrs. J. A. Bradstreet, president of the association, commended the fair and its objects. Stall-holders were as follow: Chinese curios, Miss Conway; fancy work, Mrs. Kenner and Mrs. O’Halloran, with senior club girls; cakes, Mrs. H. B.
