There were 16 children at the Cholmondeley Memorial * Children’s Home to greet Father Christmas when he arrived on the Saturday before Christmas, carrying a large bag of toys which he distributed to all those present. The party was held by the staff 1 his year, and the surprise visit by the Lyttelton Marine Band, which played Christmas carols on the lawn, was an added pleasure. The children were later given a hi.gh tea. The new playground equipment, swings, sea-saws, climbing bars, and sandpit, has been a great attraction during the holiday period. Mr A. H. Allen (formerly Mayor of Dunedin) and Mrs Allen, who have been visiting England, returned to the Dominion on Monday.
