THE RED CROSS ENTERTAINMENTS The Old Girls began the Red Cross entertainments with a war-play, When the Boys Come Home, which they gave on December 6th. The scene of the play was in a patriotic household during the short leave of its men bound for the front. On February 7th the First Form gave the court scene from Alice in Wonderland, and sang two French songs, one of which was La Marseillaise. The trial of the Mad Hatter was such a success that it was repeated. On the following Friday afternoon, Mrs. Coburn showed us the beautiful little figures that she finds in the corn fields, and told the story of her little people. The next entertainment which took place on February 21st was the Fifth Form play, Getting the Bird, — a skit on spies and staff-officers. An Irish Jig was danced and a complaint against in- ventors by the wife of one of them, was made in a recitation. The Second Form gave A Christmas Carol on March 7th. It was pleasant to see this familiar piece again, especially the part where the blazing plum-pudding is finally brought in. Several scenes from The Rivals were given by the Sixth Form on March 14th. The performance was in the evening, and parents and friends were invited to it. Some forms have been unable to give their plays this year, on account of the delay caused by the Influenza Epidemic. — M.M. VI. GAPES OF TRAFALGAR Capes, capes for all the dark and fair. Capes, capes, we see them every where. Capes, capes, worn by both short and tall, Capes, capes, some of us you enthrall. Capes, capes, as on the lawn we walk. Capes, capes, it is of you we talk. Capes, capes, grey, brown and navy blue. Capes, capes, there ' s envy caused by you. Capes, capes, go flitting down the street. Capes, capes, you ' re dainty, chic and neat. Capes, capes, by young and old you ' re worn, Capes, capes, there ' s sorrow if you ' re torn. Capes, capes, you ' re more worn ev ' ry day, Capes, capes, you seem to come our way. Capes, capes, of many ages past, Capes, capes, we hope the style will last. B.B. — IV. 31
