Madame Marie Quincy Lansmere gave
on Saturday afternoon an illustrated talk
on s~Fairyland" to the pupils Of the Mis-
sion Serving School. which is in charge
of Mrs. Brice Collard. About 400 children
were present, eager to hear and know all
about fairyland. The entertainment CON
sisted of a number of s~tereoptieon views
of Fairyland, Mother Gooseland and
Brownieland, which Madame Lansmere
explained Her operator disappointed
her and Mrs. H. G, Wait kindly loaned her
p-araphanalia and operated it herself
with Madame Gurney-Lansmere's pic

Madame Lansmere who was many

the children if they thought her a fairy
to which they returned one n all an
emphatic MOI" She then proceeded to
tell them about the pictures In words e
little large for their comprehension but
they enjoyed the pictures and gazed at
on the key and Madame Lansmere sang
a Dutch SOM which received such an
enthusiastic encore that she was obliged
to repeat 1t.
AT the conclusion of the lantern views
Mrs, Wait threw on the canvass the
picture of her terrier Folly who is now
a lost dog and asked the children If
