Solo dances and ballets arranged by Miss Hazel Martin were much .appreciated. While tho children were having afternoon tea tho visitors were entertained with soveral pianoforte items by Miss ■Eileen Clark. The great success of the function was duo to the enthusiasm of the teachers and pupils, and the co-operation of the parents and residents in the efforts of tho Homo and School Association. The financial results of the garden party were very satisfactory. Thanks are due to Mr. and Mrs. Clark for the use of their beautiful grounds. The members of the Kjiox Girls' Club, Lower llutt, gave a delightful entertainment in the Church Hall last evening. An outstanding item was a four-act play, "Judy," taken from the story of "Daddy Long Legs." Miss Olive Byko made an attractive "Judy," and the part of "Jervis Pembcrton," the mysterious "Daddy Long Legs," was very woll played by Miss W. Wilson. Miss M. Hamilton took the poet of! "Mrs. I/ippell," the'harsh orphanage matron, .'md Miss B. House, the sympathetic trustee. The remaining parts were .taken by other members of the club. A duet was sung by Misses IF. Horlar and E. Prydß. A largo and very appreciative audience wns present, nnd enjoyed the ercellent programme. '
