The Inglewood Union has a Sunday School ut Kamiro. The following account of a Violet Day held in ronnec tlon with it was written by one of the l>oys, and tells of the good Pme they had:— VIOLET DAY. On the Ist of Se|*teml>er the Kamiio Sunday School children went down to Mrs Hond a place to pick violets for the Hospital. It was very kind of her to let us go there to pick violets. There were twenty-one children and nine White Hibboners who kindly came to our picnic. The children were all kind to each other, and played happily together all the time. After we had played footl>a!l for a time, we went upon a big hill to play. MV Mundt went "hee” for Keney Sen!*?. He used to catch us as we ran dovn the hill. If he caught us we had tj go for our lives l>ack to the top of the hill again. After w’e had been playing for a while the girls brought us up some apples and biscuits, which were thought for us by the White Hibboners. After we had a nice meal of biscuits and apples, we played throwing apple cores at each other. 1 had the best fun of my life that day. Then Miss Ralph came and told us to put on our coats and go picking violets for the Children’s Ward in the Hospital. We had loMles bought for us by the White Hibboners. who afterwards made us a l>eautiful hot cup of cocoa, while we also had cakes, oranges, biscuits, and hot pie. We should remember the kindness of the W.CT.U. people as long as we live. We also thank Mrs Young very much for making us such a beautiful cake, which was made of currants, with Icing over the top, with beautiful paper around the sides of it; it also had four violets to remind us that it was Violet Day. There was a daffodil In the middle of It, with two white doves facing It.
