Arrangements for the Shakespearean pageantry and musical entertainment to be held to-night in aid of the Y.W.C.A. were finalised last night, when a splendid full-dress rehearsal was held. The lighting and frocks particularly were very effective. A greatly respected member of this community is giving an “At Home’’ on Thursday afternoon of this week at the Kawaroa Park Bungalow. A good programme of vocal and instrumental music, and afternoon tea is provided free. A generous invitation is given to the general public to be present. Though all is entirely free, the hostess, Mrs. G. A. Corney, will be glad to receive donations for the new organ for St. Andrew’s new church. The formal reception at the Bungalow will be at 3 p.m.

The story of the pipes of Lucknow is too well known to need recapitulationhow Jessie, fever-stricken, heard far-off, in her delirium, the swelling music of the bagpipes as Sir Colin Campbell swept on to the relief of the besieged city. Jessie’s refrain was: “Dinna ye hear it; dinna ye hear it ?” One may ask Jessie’s question in Jessie’s words to-day, for far down the breeze on Sunday afternoon will come the stirring strains of tho pipes played by the burly members of the New Plymouth and other Taranaki Pipe Bands. These bands will give a combined concert in Pukekura Park. This should provide a treat for local residents.
