had obviously been taken with the arrange- ments, and the children were at their best.
The significance of the Festivals were brought home very vividly to those who attended. In the first scene a miniature Succah was much in evidence, whilst the Lulav and the Esrog were far from for- gotten. The Torah, too, occupied a position of prominence.
The little Hebrew songs, generally accom- panied 1by action, were on the whole very charming and the singing of them won nothing but admiration from the large gathering present. Particularly outstand- ing was the last item, lthe depiction of a poultry and cattle farm lin Kfar Yeladim, and in this connection one must mention the excellence o( the costumes.
As a conclusion to a very happy morning the children were, as usual at these Fe tivals, ach presented with a packet of sweets-a reward which there can be no doubt they all deserved.
During\ the course of the morning a short speech wa delivered by Mrs. S. Gordon, who made an appeal to the public on behalf of the Kindergartens.
