GRAND CHRISTMAS CONCERT. Our Christmas effort this year will take the form of a splendid concert, arranged by Aunt Hilda, from the best juvenile talent in the city. It will be held in the Choral Hall, at 8 p.m. on Thursday, December 12. Part proceeds are for new batteries and renewals to the wireless set at the Children’s Fresh Air Home, and the rest win be reserved for furnishing a larger clubroom, as the present one has been found too small for Circle work. Will every member of our large Circle try very bard to be present, and also to bring a friend? C s - - X
