There was a crowded house and all entered into the spirit of the evening, Many and varied were the gifts brought by the people. Lollies in tins, and other packages of ciga'rettes, etc,, were numerous, Over £4 in money was taken at Hip door, and it is thought that about £lO in all will represent these Christmas gifts to the soldiers in the trenches and in the hospitals, Miss Kirton, convener of the Fiinily along with hei stall of able workers deserve great praise for the splendid success of the evening. The following contributed to the programme: Messrs Shaw piano solo and song, and Meilde, E. Hutton, Wingfield and Miss J. McMillan, songs, and Mrs A. Frame and Ethel Forbes, recitations.
