are given out of drers in the beauti
ful grounds of Grey ".ocks. After the
plays. ice crr Im end home-made cake
will be served by Mrs. Hamilton Ham-

thezenloyment of the first perform- '
once. causing it to develop into‘a de-
lightfully informal garden party. The
proceeds from this afternoon's perfor-
mance are to go to the 'Red Cross.
