One of the most delightful events on the program of the McAil con- yention which is being held hepe took place yesterday afternoon at the Shuttle Meadow club when the Chil- dren's MeAll were hosts at an cnter- tainment. The entertainment which was directed by Mrs. William Dalzeii and Miss Bertha Chamberlain. was in the form Of three act play with a prologue for each and. finally, m epilogue.
 The work of the McAll mission in France, particularly the children's share of 1t, was the theme of the sketch. the prologue between the first and second acts transporting the large audience gracefully and quickly across the sea to France There the audi encc found themselves enjoying a street scene where charming French children in the artistic dress of their country. as we'll as in the black pima fores sent to the little war orphans of France by the McAll, danced folk dances, played and sang as is the custom of children everywhere even in war bereaved countries.
 Then, Act 3, showing How McAll finds home of sadness and turns them into homes of gladness," short play entitled Faith, Hope and Love-" The particular home found this time is that of the poor widow Frenneau where she, her mother. and her little children are suffering from want, but where the American McAll missionary comes bringing bread, clothes, and the great message of love and hope. At the end the audience sang with the small actors, "Redites moi L'histoire, and Madame Charles Bieler thanked the children for their splendid produc- tion, praising their singing, their act ing and their pronunciation. AS they "doffed their aprons" this lady of France helped to put them in box to go immediately across the sea to be worn by the children there. The members of the cast and of the asso- citation served ice cream and cake to their guests.
