Cream Festival, Pink Tea, Sock Party,

without the money attachment.
The programme was short and crisp.
Mr.. Million acted as master of cere-
monies with his own peculiar grace,
introducing each performer as a
flower, by a choice bit OF poetry.
The exercises were made up Of
music, instrumental and vocal, read
ing and short addresses, light refresh
ments, many introductions and much
hearty good cheer.
The speakers emphasized the i'm.
portance and service to a church of
such evenings; all went home wishing
