JUNIOR AUXILIARY SALE AND
 PLAY AT COMMUNITY HOUSE

At the Community House on Satur- day afternoon at 2:30 the Junior Aux Hilary of Christ church held most suc- cessful sale, followed by play entitled the Childrens Crusade.
 Exemplifying as it did, a page of his- tory in the 11th century, when even the children were inspired to set out on crusade to rescue the Holy Land from the inf1dels, the play was attractively staged and acted, each child taking her part very cleverly. The singnig of the old church militant hymns was splendidly done. Mrs. Russell Baird assisting in car rying the tunes with her clear soprano voice. An interesting feature was the singing of the beautiful Crusaders Hymn, whose words are many centuries old, the music for which was composed by J. Frank Corey who acted as accomp- anist for the afternoon.
 The children were carefully drilled in 1 their parts by Miss Lillian Brewster, and l the staging of the two acts of the play set to represent forest with artistic arrangements of fir trees and boughs | was the work of Miss Mary E. Richards | The costumes were typical of the times, l the little crusaders bearing their shin Ling shields marked with the sign of l the Cross made a pretty sight, while Saint Michael with his silver armour and realistic wings looked as if he had step ped out of a medieval church stained glass window. No pains had been spared
 to make the play as attractive as possi-
 ble. Additional music was furnished during the acts by Frances Baker, who
 sang several pretty solos.
