ORIENTAL BAZAAR.
SALK OF K A STERN WORK. It was the earnest desire of the late Paudita Ramabai to circulate the Scriptures free of cost among her people, and it Is for the maintenance of her mission in India that a sale of work is being- held in the Zealandia Hall. There are quite a number of stalls, and the work displayed is nearly all Indian and Chinese. At the far end of the hall is a large display of won-.
derful antique Cloisonne ware, beaten silver and brass trays and some exquisite inlaid work. An outstanding article in this section of Indian work takes the form of several miniature elephants, perfect in detail, crossing an ivory bridge—the whole beingcarved out of a single elephant's tusk. Another stall is devoted to Chinese and Dummagen laces, and crochet of every description. Still another stall displayed a varied selection of ladies' dressing gowns and jackets, handsomely embroidered, while nearby is a stand devoted entirely to children's toys. The following are rendering great service in this sale of work for a most deserving cause:—Mesdames Whitehead, Cunninghame, Field, Bergerson, Low, Shuker, Wood, Collins, Hodder, Young, Misses T. and S. Whitehead, Kearle, Murray, G. and M. Gibbs, O. and E. Green, Wilton, Wilson, and Bycroft.
