However, despite this delay, the reading was a most satisfactory one, and the family play, including characters of three genera tons (grandmother, mother and (laughlct ) was sympathetically performed. A fea-ture-was the introduction in tho east ot Iwo members of the school tumor branch of the society, who took the parts ot schoolgirls of their own ago and their freshness and spontaneity added to he success of tho play. The producer (Miss E Scott) was heartily congratulated on the work she had done. These taking part were: Mo-dames J. Ashwc.l, R. D° lb . > T Attwood, Misses E. Bennett and J. Hart, Major J. T.
