Ch ristmaaPll-zy ~- in St. Mary's Parish Hall

I

The Sunday School children of St. Mary's Church put on a very charm- ing Christmas Play. entitled "The MlraJe of Saint Nicholas," last Fri- day evening. This beautiful ltory of zhe Bishop of Myra and Raphael the Palmer was told in poetry slid vers- e5 and the cllaractels of the Saints were splendidly portrayed. The stage setting was very appropriate with its holly. spruce and flr decorations. The costumes were really wonderful and reflected great credit on those ladies who worked so untiringly to -ma.ke them. Much praise is also due to Miss Gladys Holman, under whose capable direoticn the entertainment was so well staged, e "y considering the amount of sickness amongst the children. The Ven. Archdeacon White presided in his usual very pleasing manner. The socompanists of the evening were Mrs. George D. Pope, piano, and Mrs. LouLs Romuke, vio- lin. The play was preceded by the following musical and literary pro- grammes-
