The tendency of children to choose dialect excerpts for recitation was the subject of cautic comment by Mr Stanley Warwick, the judge of elocution, at Friday night's performances under the auspices of the Wellington Competitions Society. Mr Warwick took exception to this tendency, remarkng that it was as much of a slight to give a dialect verse where it was not desired as it was to play "jazz" music to a judge of good music He wished to warn young' competitors against this fault", which did not tend to teach them true elocution. When your friend says, "What's yours?" say, " Perfection Whisky, please," and see that the right bottle is taken off the shelf. 'No whisky like D. and J. McCallum's " Perfection," whisky. The flavour is unique, full, and rich, and lingers long after the drink disappears. Full of health and wholesomeness, and recomended by doctors as a tonic. " Perfection" brand whisky is distilled in " the land of the heather" by D. and J. McCallum. Distributors, Cooke and Co., Auckland. lx
