In the precinct of Orchard Hill an en-
tertainment was given Thursday afternoon
by some eight or ten boys and girls in
the form OF a play. called, "Grandmoth-
er's Story Book" The little folks taking
part have been studying and rehearsing
for the past month and as a result 1t was
quite a success. A neighbor kindly offered
her home for the celebration and some
fifty children came to witness the perform
ance. The small sum of 1 penny was
charged for admission, and to add double
credit to the little ones efforts they pro-
posed giving all returns-Sl.4S-to the
Chlld's Saving Institute. Many tickets
were bought that were not used when the
object was put to the people. Much credit
is due to the girl of Is years (who is toe
modest to allow her name to be published)
for her efforts to inspire other children
to take up the idea and make good use OF
the pleasure which all seemed to gain
from Il by trying to do good to others
