GIRL GUIDES.

Bantam Patrol, Flrat Olaudalanda Company, writes: We are all very thrilled with the thought of oelebrating our fifth birthday next week. During our flvo years’ service in the Guide world we have had many changes, but are very proud of the fact that we still retain our original captain and four Guides out of eight who started. Friday afternobn was spent In practising for- the party. Great amusement is being caused with a shadow party tlyt y*e are endea-' voul'lng to produce, hut some of our actors are very fond of keeping to the baok of the stage,- with the result that their shadows appear enormous.'' However, that is a minor detail. Some of the time was spent in country dancing and practising the international ceremony, which Is very interesting, and shows how BadenPoweil’s great game of Guiding has spread to all the countries of the world. Next Saturday afternoon wehope to have an enrollment before commencing to prepare for the party.

We did the same with plants and, nuts, and learned quite a lot we didn’t know before..;.
