Miss Richmond, who is well known in connection with the Free Kindergarten, has written a very charming play entitled “Mrs Motherly’s Luck, or Sisters are . Such,” to be produced on behalf of the institution next August. The play was read yesterday afternoon before a small audience, consisting principally of members of the executive of the Free Kindergarten, and produced a most favourable impression. There is a lot of smart dialogue touching on

topics of the day, and several dances and songs are introduced. Tho whole idea of the play, however, partakes more of tho stylo of “ Peter Pan ” and “The Blue Bird.” Tho dramatic effect promises to be good, and as the work of a lady well known for her interest in educational matters, will be no doubt eagerly looked for.
