The Secretary of the Day Nursery re-
quests the publication in The DISPATCH OF
the following:
"The Day Nursery management regrets
exceedingly that, owing to uncomfortable
circumstances, the invitation to all churches
to assist in the coming entertainment has
not been so general as the management had
intended it should be. The management
was kindly informed to-day of several
churches that would like to help were their
services desired, and in response desires to
say that it viii receive gratefully any and
all proffered services, For those churches
notified too late to be able to serve on the
day set apart for the denomination to which
set apart as sort of days of universal
brotherhood"

The weather, as it h as been doing all winter,
fnter.ered with the attendance, though not
so much as was expected. Though given in
the afternoon, by having the huge windows
in Miss Tindle's house all carefully shut
tered and chandeliers and candelabra blaZ-
ing, the affair partooS of an evening as
moved and the carpets crashed.
The thoughtful hostess also had
carefully disposed of numerous screens, so
that a hostof private little places existed,
beautifully suited for, charming little chats
or cups of tea, solus. Many of the visitors
were in afternoon toilette, stopping in for
a sandwich and chocolate on their way from
some afternoon tea. The names of those
presiding at the various booths were given

necessary to repeat them. Praise is due to
them for carefully planned, and malgre
the weather, entirely successful event.
