Betty Empringham. Dilys Whatley, Sylvia Kent, Bonnie Rob- ertson. Many inquiries have been made for presentations of this play in 9ther places.

The fine weather of last Friday brought the Guides out for a hike, which they took out to a bush on Bathurst Street. The girls passed very successfully their fire-lighting and trail tests, and enjoyed a very pleasant day.
