Brother Geoghegan's announcement to the meeting on Tuesday concerning this gratifying advance in the interests of the Appeal was received with applause. The Hibernian Hall has been booked for an entertainment for July 4th, next to aid one of the Cathedral stalls. The committee in charge of the "Surprise Packet Stunt" report excellent progress.

C.Y.L.C. Special Notice. We feel sure that there is little need to remind the girls of Tuesday fort-
night's combined C.Y.M.S. and C.Y.M.S. The good dance in the Town Hall. ladies of our auxiliary have taken a large number of tickets, and are confident that they can dispose of them, so that if our members each take a few tickets and see that they come along. as well as bring one or two friends, the C.Y.L.C. will be doing its part, and we believe that the C.Y.M.S. are adopting the same guarantee system as was in force for the river excursions, so that it would be safe to anticipate a large crowd of their members and friends. A full jazz band has been engaged for the occasion, and provided the night is fine the first combined dance should be a memorable ftinction in the history Remember girls, Tuesof both clubs. day, June 27, is the date, so see your secretary and get some tickets, and then talk of it, and work for a fortnight for it. Dancing Class, The usual dancing class was held last Monday. There was a, very big attendance in spite of it being a public holiday. Under the special tuition of Miss Mercia Scott, those who have attended this class regularly will realise they are no longer learners, but really Monday advanced dancers. Next night there will be some new dances

There will be a general meeting on Friday, June 9, and all members are urged to be present, as the business to The be discussed is most important. question was put to the meeting last Friday, so those who were present should realise its importance and be present this week.

Ladies' AriTiltary, A meeting of our Ladies' Auxiliary was held last Tuesday evening, and there was a very good attendance. Mrs. Hartrey was elected as president, and a few little details were fixed up. The ladies present decided on behalf of the Ladies' Auxiliary to help us with our first dance in the Town Hall on Tuesday, June 27th.

RELIABLE TENNIS RACQUETS
PAINLESSLY PERFORMED.
FOY (Sc GIBBON Proprietary Limited, Perth
(By "Prunella." Those who were not at St. George's Hall on Jun 1st, missed a very pleasant evenings enjoyment, and one cif the nicest dances of the season This happy little function was held in- aid of funds for St. Patrick's Church, and was organised by Mrs. O'Dea and Mrs Bryan, Decorations hid been carried out in festoons of many coloured ribbons and streamers, the stage being cleverly converted into a bower of greenery, from which Griffin's Band played the latest and best in dance music. Much care had been expended on the sup*: the tables were loaded with many delicacies, and the plain old room made quite attractive with a wealth of wattle and chrysanthemums tied with red ribbons decorating the tables and walls. Among those present were Mrs. O'Dea, in a handsome dress of rand -coloured georgette and crepe-de-chene, trimmed with beads and touches of old rose; Mrs Bryan, a pretty frock of shot mauve satin, with trimmings of hand -made flowers: Miss Fitzpatrick, a striking dress of black satin. with overdress of black shadow lace and .touches of emerald green; Mrs. Lida wore white; Mrs. J. Nicholson, black satin, relies, ed with touches of red; Mrs. M. Levan wore black: Miss Lily Kavanagh, dainty frock of primrose satin "rid lace; Miss Connie Horan, emerald green; Mrs. Guiffoyle, black and silver; Miss E. O'Dea wore green; Miss K. O'Dea, cerise satin, pretty draped effect, with silver flowers: Miss M. O'De" wore sue blue; Mist Mary Johnston cream and silver;!Miss Hardwick, shell pink satin and cream lace: Miss L Bourke, white crepe-de-chene: Miss Tully, black and pink roses; Miss Eileen Outrage, black and silver tissue pannels. Amongst others tu be see,. were Miss O'Hara, Miss Marratt, Mrs. Noonan, Miss Gatherer and Miss Bryan. . The old trick of the chain praye, is being played again. It apparenth belongs to the category of things that reincarnate, for this seems to revive from time to tune just when we think all the common-sense people have seen through it and stopped or broken the chain (for which, by the way, you are threatened with awful disasters). This time the epidemic has broken out in the form of a "good luck" chain, quite a mild form. The anoora39ws piece of paper tells you "the chain was started by an American officer; it should go three times round the world. and be sent to nine people, and on the ninth day your good hick will come." Isn't it absurd? Methinks it must have been started with a view to the increase in postage revenue for the Postal Department is the only ore that reaps any return. Nine two penny stamps means one shilling. and sixpence per head of the population. Why a Taxation Department?

LOCATE THE ADDRESS CAREFULLY. WE DO GOOD WORK MORE CHEAPLY THAN OTHERS
Among the departures by the Suevic last week was Mrs. C. E. Lane Poole and her two little girls, returning to Ireland. Of ready wit and interest. ing personality, Mrs. Lane Poole will be greatly missed in the large circle of friends she has made since she came to West Australia, and to whom she has endeared herself. A cousin of W B. Yeats, the great Irish poet and playwright, she is herself much interested in the drama and the movement of the Irish theatre to -day. The foremost exponents of this art are the Abbey Theatre players at present in Australia. and winning much praise for their hitherto unknown work in this part of the globe. While on the subject of theatres, this may be an opportune moment to speak a word in passing upon the ex cellence of the company who have just been with us. Marie Tempest is an artist to her _toes; she makes you forget her years in your admiration for the artist and her work manifests itself in so many ways-the gong for the rise of the curtain, so out of the common, the graceful hangings, the colour schemes, the lighting, all studied to please the eve. There is not a doubt but the externals do a great deal towards the mental outlook not alone in the theatre, but in the streets and in every day life.

Of the recent' movements in Perth nothing seems to have caught the popular fancy like "community singing."
To those who toil over a ledger
or wrap up parcels, it comes as a very pleasant break in the day. It's an echo of very old times when the popu lace sang together, whether to rejoice at fresh conquests or to wail their losses. Whatever the occasion, it was always an outpouring of the heart. Seeing the success it has made in the secular world brings to mind a Sue gestion of what might die done in the way of congregational singing in our Catholic churches. It's done among
other denominations and in other churches in all parts of the world, but there is something to be said in favour of someone starring the movement in this direction here.
