ROSLYN GIRL GUIDES

CONCERT FOR CAMP FUNDS The concert held in the Moulin Rouge (late iloslyn Theatre) last evening was one of a high order, and was attended by a large audience quick to appreciate and generous in applause. The object of the concert was to raise: funds for the Iloslyn Girl Guides for the Christmas camp to be held at.Outram. The programme was not a lengthy-one,, hut the selected items gave general satisfaction, and an enjoyable evening’s .entertainment was provided-. Perhaps jtlje feature of the concert, was,, a > Maori item —a welcome, a song, and the Girl Guides’ haka—by the Rangers (senior Guides). This was particularly good, considering the members who took part had practised for one week only, with two rehearsals.
