SUCCESSFUL PARTY

BRAILLE CLUB EFFORT

The annual party of the Wellington Braille Club is always a success, and it is small wonder, lor the members do such excellent 'work for the blind folk. They, not only transcribe interesting books for their benefit, adding regularly to the library which is such a pleasure to all the blind in the Dominion, but they keep a monthly magazine of topics of the day and other matters which are most en joy ably informative to those who are not only blind but deaf. The value of the Work can hardly be measured. A pleasant feature, is that the Braille instruction classes are always being' carried on, and new; being added to the number. It is suggested that those who get ticed of knitting .in the wintertime might try Braille as' well, for it is a very pleasant and useful way of passing the time: Therefore it was very pleasant to find the : large tearoortis at • James.
