After several more musical items had been given the social aspect of the occasion again became prominent, and Her Excellency moved about the hall exchanging' greetings with the guests and having others presented to her.

A number of children took part, there being songs, song and dance items, and song and concerted numbers, the dances being of all kinds, so there was plenty of variety. Miss Irene Howe played the accompaniments and kept the young folk well up to time. The programme opened with the “Kiddies’ Kabaret,” in which Ailsa Woodward sang and the pupils of all sizes, to the very tiniest tot in a Red Riding hood, appeared.

A bright “star” was Peggy Welch, who gave some good solo dances, especially her first number, “Doll Dance,” also a Russian mazurka, “Skipping Dance,' and song and dance, “Honey,” and a Chopin valse. She also sang “Silver Lining” as a concluding item.

Nurse Bargrove is a missionary nurse working under the Church Missionary Society, at Hangchow. When the mission buildings were restored to the society after the war the missionaries were asked if they would restore also a local institution of some sort for Chinese babies. Miss Bargrove found the place indescribably dirty, and the methods unsanitary. She cleaned the place up so satisfactorily, driving out both dirt and incompetent wet nurses, as to attract the attention of a wealthy Chinese philanthropist. He gave £lOOO, and induced friends to give a further £2OOO towards a better institution. He also interested the Governor of Chekiang in the project, who sent for him and Bargrove, and eventually appointed a committee to manage this and other charitable institutions in Hangchow, stating that £lO.OOO ought to be collected for the Plunket Hospital. He authorised the commencement of the building as soon as £4OOO was in hand. OVERSEAS NOTES An unprecedented event has taken place at Oxford.
